For years newsXpress and Newspower were the only newsagency marketing groups supporting the GNS Market Fairs.

newsXpress members benefit from Korimco / Skansen changes

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 Launceston promoting Hallmark AFL cards

afllauncestonnewsXpress 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.

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 flooding to Melbourne

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.

Located at the front of the shop facing into the mall the promotion connects two good brands with a third national sporting brand.

Check out the new plush wall at newsXpress Eli Waters

plushwallelinewsXpress 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.

Exclusive Hallmark AFL promotion ignites newsXpress stores!!

nxkxnewsXpress newsagency marketing group members are loving the exclusive Hallmark AFL card promotion. This latest display is from newsXpress Hallmark where one in-store Collingwood fan has set their beloved team up to be ahead of arch rival Carlton on the scoreboard. This positioning of Collingwood against Carlton is contrary to newsXpress corporate policy and not supported by the group. newsXpress will be dealing with the recalcitrant employee promoting the dasatardly Collingwood.
