Magazine Display of the Week: Ocean Grove

wedding-display.JPGnewsXpress Ocean Grove has the Magazine Display of the Week with this Royal Wedding feature in prime location in-store.

We like the display because it is bold, eye catching.  It takes the Royal Wedding story off the page and presents it is a fun yet respectful way.  It celebrates not only the wedding but also the Woman’s Day coverage.

Kudos to everyone at newsXpress Ocean Grove for conceiving and creating this display, especially to the bride for giving up her wedding dress.  There is no truth in the rumor that the dress is Cathy’s – one of the owners of the business.

newsXpress supports proactive engagement promoting magazines, making the most of the opportunity for this important products category is a key element of traffic generation.

Clever use of text message marketing campaign
