newsXpress has announced details of several exclusive import product opportunities for newsXpress group members.
Available for pre order, these products offer newsXpress members a valuable and exclusive product mix point of difference. This is achieved by group buying among newsXpress members only.
These exclusive import products are an opt in opportunity – newsXpress members choose whether they participate. They also set the selling price appropriate to their stores and thereby control margin.
Newsagency marketing group newsXpress is offering its members CPA level support and assistance in developing newsagency business cash flow projections. This service will be run as a hands-on group workshop session at the second national conference for the year on the Gold Coast in a few weeks.
Being run by a CPA as well as our own Financial Controller, this confidential small group round table discussion will help participants better manage the cash flow of their business. It will outline how we manage cash in our own newsagencies and explore how others do too in their businesses.
This workshop and one on one discussions on cash-flow are another way newsXpress is expanding its services for newsXpress members to help them build stronger and more successful businesses.
More and more newsXpress members are embracing the plush wall opportunity researched and promoted by the newsXpress group. Offering plush from three or four preferred suppliers at newsXpress special pricing and packaging this in a format that is easy to setup and operate, engaged newsXpress members are finding plush is generating net new traffic for the business. This is money in the bank since plush customers are valuable not only in terms of the items themselves but also with additional products they purchase.
The plush wall approach is a good example of the newsXpress point of difference. We developed and tested the concept, worked with fixture people and negotiated with suppliers. The results have been shared with newsXpress members as a package. And now with success stories flowing we are sharing the results. This holistic approach is far more valuable than just telling members to buy product from supplier x.
Most newsXpress stores across Australia are each giving away a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 as a centrepiece price in a Father’s Day greeting card promotion.

newsXpress stores are promoting the prize with professional collateral provided already for in-store use.

Newsagency marketing group newsXpress yesterday continued years of tradition and newsagent support with a strong and professional presence at the GNS Market fair in Perth.
Visitors to the stand were greeting with the newsXpress pitch, a point of difference among newsagency marketing groups – business marketing and management strategies that have for years been used successful by newsagents to build healthier and more successful newsagencies.
The newsXpress stand at the newsagent trade show also featured wonderful innovation from newsXpress strategic partner Hallmark.
For years newsXpress and Newspower were the only newsagency marketing groups supporting the GNS Market Fairs.
newsXpress members are already benefiting from the merged representation of products from Korimco and Skansen thanks to excellent head office relationships newsXpress has with both businesses.
Playing an active role through the merging of the representation, newsXpress has been able to deliver to its members a best-practice result enabling members to benefit significantly from the new commercial structure around Skansen and Korimco.
In announcing its leadership position here, newsXpress is documenting what it’s already done rather than talking about something it might do.
newsXpress was first to deliver these benefits for newsagents.
newsXpress last week provided its members with insightful information relating to the demise of the All Books For Less retail group and commercial opportunities flowing from this. The advice was shared earlier last week as part of the newsXpress process of sharing business opportunity information with newsXpress members.
While the books category has been challenged for some time in Australia, newsXpress sees opportunity through careful engagement with supportive suppliers.
newsXpress Launceston has been promoting the range of Hallmark AFL cards with this terrific and engaged display.
Bringing together AFL product from a range of suppliers is a smart move and having the Hallmark AFL cards as the centrepiece is an even smarter move.
Our experience across the group is that the Hallmark AFL cards are selling well throughout the country and through the season. We anticipate that this will be the case even after the AFL season ends given that support for your AFL team does not end at the grand final.
newsXpress team members have a busy weekend in melbourne this weekend working the floors of the Gift Fair and the Home & Giving Fair in Melbourne. They’re meeting with existing suppliers and discussing opportunities with possible new suppliers.
Our team members are also guiding some newsXpress members around the fair to introduce them to gift and homewares opportunities.
Those newsXpress members who are unable to get to the fair are seeing product opportunities through a confidential and closed technology feed we have established for them.
newsXpress members have started gathering in Melbourne for the three important gift and homewares trade events in the city. Combined, the three events make for the biggest gift and homewares buying opportunity in Australia this year. While the main show in town is the Gift Fair (the biggest of its type in Australia), the Home and Giving Fair is a place where newsXpress members will see innovative products. The Life Instyle event has already proved worthwhile with products on show.
Congratulations to newsXpress Bairnsdale for winning prestigious AFL Grand Final tickets as part of the Hallmark AFL cards promotion run exclusively through newsXpress. The display was excellent with the hallmark AFL cards clearly the hero products on show for shoppers in-store.
The full winners list is:
newsXpress last week provided members with the August IN STORE customer newsletter. The August newsletter is all about sharing warmth using the latest card ranges from Hallmark cards – like the range featuring photos by Australian Bruce Postle.
The newsletter is not your usual marketing blurb from a retailer. No, this newsletter, like all our IN STORE newsletters in 2013, weaves a narrative of newsXpress as encourage people to express themselves either directly or using products we offer in store.
The newsletter series this year shows newsXpress as connecting with retailers in a practical and useful way newsXpress members appreciate.
Check out the window display newsXpress Beechworth has been running to promote the excellent range of hallmark AFL licenced cards in-store as well as the range of AFL Beanie Kids available.
This window display is just part of their promotion of AFL products with the Hallmark range as the centrepiece. Well done to everyone involved – great to see so many AFL teams represented.
This display gets newsXpress Beechworth in the running to win two AFL Grand Final tickets courtesy of Hallmark.
newsXpress Bunbury sold a division one winning lottery ticket in Saturday night’s draw as reported in the Bunbury Mail. One shopper at newsXpress Bunbury is more than a million dollars richer!
newsXpress Watergardens is promoting the Hallmark AFL exclusive opportunity with this display facing into the shopping mall.
While we are surprised to see the choice of promoting Hawthorn, we’re pretty happy that the terrific Hallmark AFL range is in a good position in the business and in the centre – promoting an excellent brand of product and using this to attract shoppers.
Well done Jayden at newsXpress Watergardens.
newsXpress stores have been running this promotion in July to get in the running for AFL Grand Final tickets.
Here’s the promotion of Hallmark AFL cards and other products at newsXpress Eli waters in Queensland as part of the newsXpress Hallmark exclusive AFL Grand Final promotion.
This promotion connects the terrific Hallmark AFL card range with Beanie Kids to drive sales of both items. Located at the front of the shop facing into the mall the promotion connects two good brands with a third national sporting brand. Eli waters is in the running to win two tickets to the AFL Grand Final.
The only criticism we would have of the display is the placement of the Collingwood guernsey. This is against newsXpress policy.
newsXpress Eli Waters has created a new plush wall as part of a shop fit. Well done Stella, Al and team – a great job.
A good plush wall is about depth of range – plus for all occasions – and having the plush set so it appears to be bursting off the shelves. Plus having product from several suppliers.
We have newsXpress stores doing $50,000 a year and more in plush and growing – taking sales from majors as well as specialty gift shops.
For help talk to our team – we can help you grow.
newsXpress Inverloch got in on the exclusive to newsXpress Hallmark AFL promotion with this in-store display featuring the terrific Hallmark AFL cards and AFL Beanie Kids.
In the photo you can see Harley showing off his Collingwood jumper and getting in the spirit of the promotion., Harley helped create the display.
This is a terrific in-store promotion at the perfect time of the year for newsXpress newsagency marketing group members.
The winner of the promotion gets to go to the 2013 AFL Grand Final!
newsXpress Maryborough in Victoria, the National Hallmark Alliance Retailer of the Year, has joining in with the Hallmark AFL promotion that is exclusive to newsXpress members.
With this terrific display, newsXpress maryborough is in the running for a wonderful AFL grand final ticket prize pack. Their cards are the centrepiece supporting plenty of AFL merchandise.
