SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS
This week we had another state meeting in Sydney for our NSW/ACT proprietors. It was probably the best one we have had.
Wayne from Hallmark showed how we are getting massive growth in the NSW/ACT region in Hallmark product. Then it was over to future strategy and business development for the rest of the session. It culminated in a store visit to newsXpress Roselands to see one of newsXpress networks shining lights. A great day had by all!
Here it is! State of Origin TONIGHT!
newsXpress Harbour Town on the Gold Coast have created a classic display highlighting both the Maroons and Cockroach merchandise in the battle for supremacy in the traditional Northern states game.
Regardless of the result in tonight’s massive Game 1 at ANZ Stadium the big winner is Victoria, who’s very own Melbourne Storm have a record 9 representatives.
Going, Going, Gone…
newsXpress The Pines celebrated their very first dress up day for the coming Game 1 in the State of Origin series.
They should have taken the photo in the morning as most of their merchandise was sold out by lunchtime. A great result all round and the team and customers loved the theme
QUEENSLAND MEETING KEEPING newsXpressers INFORMED
State meetings are a great way to impart knowledge and also network. The Queensland meeting last week was again well supported by newsXpress proprietors.
newsXpress continues to hold meetings every 8 or so weeks in every state.
STATE OF ORIGIN – GAME ON
The traditional rivalry continues. newsXpress Scott’s Lismore are onto a good thing by leveraging the massive media interest and located their display front and centre on the dancefloor.
Promote the rivalry to achieve maximum sales, historically consumers will continue to purchase strongly throughout the entire three game series.

newsXpress Kin Kora steam ahead while others rest
newsXpress Kin Kora are always at the forefront of promotional activity and post Mother’s Day is no exception.
The ‘Symply Too Good To Be True‘ display has been up for just over a week and has already generated great sales. With Annette Sym touring Gladstone this week we are hoping for another surge in sales. newsXpress has a fantastic two way relationship with Annette , which is certain to see her reward the store for promoting her title with her reciprocating this support when highlighting her products are available in store during her various speaking engagements.
While the rest of the country may never understand the allure, for dyed in the wool Queenslander’s and New South Welshmen nothing is bigger than State of Origin. With the big game 1 clash only a week away Kin Kora have a full range of merchandise and decoration on sale in a prominent location. Sarah mentioned that the jerseys are out and loyalty is stronger than ever, also if there wasn’t upcoming $20million Lotto draws the promo would consume more of the shop. Just wait until you see what they have planned for game 2 in the Sunshine state!
In what has been a busy promotional time they have also created some fantastic in-store posters thanks to their trusted Toshiba photocopier.
GIFTS GENERATING BIG SALES AT DAPTO
newsXpress Dapto continue to impress. Cards and Gifts are their specialty.
The shop continues to amaze, and they are reaping the rewards.

Creating a story all of your customers want to read
The two stores in the Central Coast township of Bargara, newsXpress Bargara & newsXpress Bargara Central have taken the gift route as several others have to capitalise on the strong card giving season of Mother’s Day.
As the photos below show a range of aspirational gifts, social stationery, gift bags all bound with Hallmark Alliance signage can be very inviting to potential customers.
Smaller is sometimes better…
newsXpress Whittlesea is awash with a sea of Hallmark Alliance Mother’s Day posters blending into the complimentary gift boxes above the magazine racks.
Smaller stores like Whittlesea must be creative both with their in store theatre and actual space utilisation to generate the best results.
A one stop Mother’s Day Shop
These photos highlight the great use of the Mother’s Day theme at Ascot Vale. The strong message of Card, Ribbon, Wrap, Gift & Packaging tells their customers that ‘we have the complete Mother’s Day solution for you’.
As an added bonus to their customers a fantastic reward for Mum that is exclusive to newsXpress Ascot Vale.
GIFTS GETTING RESULTS AT GOULBURN
newsXpress Goulburn are all in the pink, with Mothers Day only a couple days away sales are really picking up.
The gifts from newsXpress recommended suppliers they purchased as a trial for Mother’s Day were displayed early on and to their surprise they have had to reorder twice since just to have some stock for the originally planned promotion.
ALL SET UP FOR MOTHERS DAY
newsXpress Shellharbour have shown their background in card retailing with balloons suspended above the valley of Mother’s Day cards and gifts. All dressed in purple shirts, including the guys, they make a great team. Their kiosk is also performing well with the Hallmark Mother’s Day promotion posters.
You can even buy a cookbook to cook mum dinner …
GIFTS CONTINUE TO BRING IN NEW MONEY
Dominic and Connie at newsXpress Jamison just love presenting gift buying opportunities to their customers, its working well and bringing in a revenue stream traditional newsagents miss out on.
A RENEWED FOCUS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Narelle and the team at newsXpress Belconnen have a renewed focus on the store. Having been in the industry for a couple of years now they are taking the bit between the teeth and making some changes.
Change is good, however as a general rule something newsagents are not good at. A rolling stone gathers no moss at newsXpress.
