The Sticker Family is another terrific newsXpress preferred supplier success story.  newsXpress members across Australia are banking valuable margin dollars from this unique and highly sought after product.

Not only are existing customers adding stickers to their basket, the unique pull-up banner is drawing new customers to the store.  On top of this, happy customers are generating excellent word of mouth.

newsXpress stores with The Sticker Family have a unique and traffic-generating good margin product.  The range is a perfect fit for a newsagency and attracts shoppers who are comfortably in newsagencies.

This is an excellent example of the newsXpress difference in action …valuable and bankable results thanks to the work of the newsXpress merchandise team.

People buying or opening their first newsagency are required to undertake approved Retail Certificate IV training in order to access direct supply of magazines.  This requirement has been in place since 2004.

newsXpress newsagents are not required to undertake this training.  This decision was made by suppliers once they saw the calibre of the on-going training delivered by newsXpress in-store, at training events and through newsXpress supportive collateral which is available and promoted to all newsXpress members.

The newsXpress difference is on show here again, helping newsXpress members save time and money.  Presenting them with valuable opportunities not available to all other newsagents.
