newsXpress has noticed increased attention from some non-referred suppliers on newsXpress stores in the lead up to our Market Fairs in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth in June. These suppliers appear to be trying to get orders in before the exclusive deals from our preferred suppliers which will be on show at the Market Fairs. newsXpress has asked its members to hold the line, wait for the Market Fairs and have the resources available to partner with preferred suppliers.
We have also caught out some suppliers claiming newsXpress preferred supplier status when they do not have this. Such a false claim will only hurt their business.
newsXpress is a proud energetic retail channel. It is natural suppliers what to be part of what we are doing. We work hard to build balance and equity for our members, suppliers and ourselves. Our preferred supplier program drives this.
