Here’s the promotion of Hallmark AFL cards and other products at newsXpress Eli waters in Queensland as part of the newsXpress Hallmark exclusive AFL Grand Final promotion.
This promotion connects the terrific Hallmark AFL card range with Beanie Kids to drive sales of both items. Located at the front of the shop facing into the mall the promotion connects two good brands with a third national sporting brand. Eli waters is in the running to win two tickets to the AFL Grand Final.
The only criticism we would have of the display is the placement of the Collingwood guernsey. This is against newsXpress policy.
newsXpress Eli Waters has created a new plush wall as part of a shop fit. Well done Stella, Al and team – a great job.
A good plush wall is about depth of range – plus for all occasions – and having the plush set so it appears to be bursting off the shelves. Plus having product from several suppliers.
We have newsXpress stores doing $50,000 a year and more in plush and growing – taking sales from majors as well as specialty gift shops.
For help talk to our team – we can help you grow.

newsXpress newsagency marketing group members are loving the exclusive Hallmark AFL card promotion. This latest display is from newsXpress Hallmark where one in-store Collingwood fan has set their beloved team up to be ahead of arch rival Carlton on the scoreboard. This positioning of Collingwood against Carlton is contrary to newsXpress corporate policy and not supported by the group. newsXpress will be dealing with the recalcitrant employee promoting the dasatardly Collingwood.
We’re having fun with this exclusive AFL greeting card promotion from our friends at Hallmark.

The newsXpress newsagency marketing group funded Facebook advertising campaign last week reached 208,000 Australian Facebook users. The campaign was run as part of an exclusive newsXpress / Hallmark promotion of the Hallmark licenced AFL card products. the Facebook campaign is part of a broader newsXpress social media brand awareness campaign being run by the group for its members.
newsXpress last week introduced another new preferred supplier to members as well as additional products from existing preferred suppliers. Each announcement delivered excellent new opportunities to newsXpress members, opening up new traffic-generating opportunities for newsXpress businesses as they evolve to a new future … further away from the traditional newsagency.
Newsagency business growth comes from attracting new shoppers and new shoppers are attracted by new products not usually seen in a newsagency and often new to the Australian marketplace. This is where the newsXpress merchandise team is shining by unlocking funky and trendsetting product opportunities to help newsXpress members evolve their businesses.
The product in the image is just one of the new products promoted to newsXpress members last week.

newsXpress is also offering a service to do buying for members unable to get to the gift fair – a service for remote and time poor newsXpress members who don’t want to miss any special buying opportunity.
newsXpress is appreciating the help from newsagent owned stationery wholesaler Group Newsagency Supplies, GNS, in driving stationery sales through better ranging and addressing supply challenges in some regional location. The help from GNS senior management recently on some opportunities has been terrific.
newsXpress prefers to support GNS as our stationery wholesaler as it is a national newsagent-owned business. This is a point of difference over the other stationery wholesalers in the marketplace.
newsXpress will be participating at all GNS Market Fairs this year, offering access to advice and support for all newsagents visiting the fairs and providing an opportunity for people to see the newsXpress difference live in action.

A newsagent who had recently left newsXpress called our National Account Manager at Big Balloon to place a Beanie Boo order. Big Balloon advised the store that they could no longer honour the newsXpress exclusive discounted pricing offer now that they have left newsXpress. It was also mentioned to this store that they will need to open a new account and go on pro forma for 3 orders.
We are told the newsagent was disappointed, claiming they were lead to believe that the group they had joined could get the same offer. This is not the case.
Big Balloon has no other national relationship with any other group outside of newsXpress.
Big Balloon made it clear to this store that the newsXpress relationship is paramount and that the offer integrity will remain for newsXpress members only . We share this to highlight to members that by acting as a group this is the type of support we can get, it also highlights that Big Balloon are towing the line and acknowledging the relationship forged with newsXpress.
