Photo from the 2007 Hallmark Tour to North America – newsXpress stores have supported these study trips for the past 3 years, the (2007) newsXpress stores were:
- Jarrod Black from newsXpress Northside Plaza,
- Chris and Feroza McNamara newsXpress Robina,
- Lyndal Lever newsXpress the Pines,
- Ben Kay newsXpress Forest Hill,
- Laura Fletcher Sophie Randall Forest Hill
- Carmen Dunkley newsXpress Jimboomba, and
- Graham Randall newsXpress Watergardens
With the learning’s from the seminars and retail visits newsXpress stores come back and implement what they have learnt which is one of the reasons the newsXpress group is recognised as the leaders in the industry. newsXpress representatives also
identify product in the US which is then brought in exclusively for the group. This study tour and the opportunities it presents for networking, information sharing and product identification is part of the reason why newsXpress entered a strategic partnership with Hallmark. The massive growth in sales proves the arrangement is mutually beneficial! The 2008 tour is planned for July and official invitations will be sent in the next month.
