Running an independent newsagency in Australia today presents a unique set of challenges. If you are feeling stuck, facing financial hurdles, or simply unsure of how to adapt to a changing retail landscape, you do not have to navigate these issues alone. Since 2001, newsXpress has operated as a dedicated marketing group with a single mission: helping local retailers build businesses they truly enjoy.
A Personalised Approach to Growth
We believe that every business is unique, which is why our advice is never one-size-fits-all. Our process begins by understanding exactly where you are today. We take a deep dive into your current situation, including:
- Financial Health: We review your P&L, balance sheets, and any existing debt.
- Inventory Analysis: We evaluate your current product mix to identify what is working and what is missing.
- Capacity Assessment: We look at the resources you have available to determine the best path forward.
From there, we provide tailored strategies to save money and convert your store into a retail space that is relevant to today’s consumers.
Expert Support Across Every Department
newsXpress members gain access to a team of professionals with decades of experience in the retail industry. We provide practical assistance in areas that matter most to your bottom line:
- Financial Planning: Our team helps you create a budget to build long-term financial strength.
- Shop Floor Layout: We offer creative expertise to design more appealing and effective store layouts.
- Supplier Relations: We act as a bridge to resolve issues with suppliers or help you open new accounts.
- Landlord Negotiations: We provide guidance to help you find better outcomes in your leasing situations.
- Advanced Technology: We leverage our deep knowledge of retail technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help you run a more efficient operation.
Proven Results for Independent Retailers
We currently serve approximately 190 diverse businesses across every state and territory in Australia. While we work with capital city and suburban stores, the majority of our members are located in regional and rural areas, often outside of major shopping centres.
We pride ourselves on being a “warm hug” and a sounding board for owners who need someone on their side. In many cases, we have completely turned businesses around, providing owners with a clear and profitable future. However, we are also honest with our members; if we believe a current path is unsustainable, we will advise you on the necessary changes to ensure your success.
If you are unhappy with the current direction of your newsagency, it may be time to make a significant change. Let newsXpress be your starting point for a more successful and enjoyable retail journey.
