Bonus round of members meetings scheduled
newsXpress has added another round of member meetings to the cycle planned for 2009. This is response to the excellent feedback from the round of member meetings just concluded. To be held in late April, this next round of member meetings will further develop our theme for 2009 of standards, introduce new and exclusive product offers for newsXpress newsagents and open for discussion business management initiatives.
newsXpress is committed to helping its members deep into the back room as well as in the body of the shop. This is why we include operational topics in our member meeting agendas, so that our members can talk with each other and learn about best practice in areas of their business.
newsXpress supports QNF conference
newsXpress has signed on as a Platinum sponsor of the QNF state conference to be held on March 24 this year. This is another example of newsXpress financially supporting events which help all newsagents access training and facilities for improving their businesses. Our financial commitment and active participation in the QNF conference is further evidence of our support for and with the newsagency channel.
Hot deals exclusively at newsXpress newsagencies
As the newsXpress brand has grown we have been receiving more pitches from suppliers with special deals for our members. Our new website has been further enhanced to provide a platform through which we can announce these deals to members for their rapid action. We have deals loaded already with more to be loaded over the next few days.
We will continue to email members about preferred supplier relationships, seasonal offers and new category offers. The new website platform is for hot deals which are for a limited time – the types of deals you will want to place in a high traffic area of your newsagency to show that you have great deals like the big guys.
Only members will be able to access these newsXpress exclusive deals.
The team behind newsXpress
We brought the newsXpress team together yesterday to discuss plans for 2009, standards around our brand and look at several soon to be released member offers. From marketing to merchandise, newsagency business development to board level, the day was an excellent opportunity to continue to evolve the culture of newsXpress and remind ourselves of our commitment to deliver measureable value and rewards to the newsagents and newsagencies which we serve.
We have a skilled and committed team working for newsXpress from the front line through to back office processes. This team is a tremendous point of difference for newsXpress and what it can achieve with member newsagents.
First newsXpress members meeting for 2009
Yesterday, Ben Kay, our National Merchandise Manager, hosted the first newsXpress members meeting for 2009. This was an online members meeting and covered a range of topics. Since the meeting was online, newsXpress members logged in from their shops and homes – wherever was convenient. We are hosting another meeting in the next two weeks.
These online member meetings are a great way for newsXpress members to connect with each other, hear about new deals, provide feedback, receive training and talk about business with fellow newsXpress members.
Access is free and part of newsXpress member services.
