We all know the story so far. You’ve been the cornerstones of your communities. Our focus is on future, recognising that the spirit of the local newsagent, the community focus, can help us navigate to success.
Think about the opportunities. People are craving connection, convenience, and unique local experiences. You are perfectly positioned to tap into these needs. newsXpress is configured to help with that.
Join us and we’ll explore growing together, valuably. We’ll talk about decluttering, making money online, new traffic, and at how we can collectively shape the next chapter of the Australian newsagency.
The world is changing, and change brings opportunity. Your localness and adaptability are superpowers. We bring a process success mindset of innovation, collaboration, and proactive growth.
Let’s work together to make your business worth more.
Oh, if you are looking at joining newsXpress solely for supplier discounts, we’re not the group for you. While we have these, you’ll make more money from everything else we do.
We can help you find new customers.
We can help you guide shoppers to spend more each visit.
We can help you love your business more.
We can help you attract good staff.
We can help you leave the business when you’re ready.
We can help you make more money.
There is no single easy fix to achieving any or all of these. What we do with and for each newsXpress member varies by business. Active collaboration is the key to how much we engage with each member.
Whether your shop is small or large, in the city or deep in the country, in a shopping centre or on a suburban street, you are welcome at newsXpress.
We bring decades of physical and online retail experience.
What we seek in prospective members is a desire to run a valuable and enjoyable business.
newsXpress is not your typical newsagency group. We are not a franchise. We are not average or basic.
