25% off deal helps newsXpress newsagents win!

It’s not often a supplier to newsagents offers 25% off their regular wholesale price but that’s exactly what newsXpress delivered for its members for two weeks when a MAJOR supplier in a very important and valuable product category offered newsXpress members 25% off top-selling products.

That’s a wonderful and valuable additional margin opportunity for many highly sought after and popular product lines.

This 25% off wholesale was EXCLUSIVE to newsXpress. Talk about delivering value to members keen to drive above average business margin and to build an even better bottom line.

Many claim to help newsagents improve GP. newsXpress regularly delivers on this promise with EXCLUSIVE buying deals plus proves strategies for turning product on the shop floor into sales faster than is usually the case.

newsXpress helps newsagents get more money in the bank as this latest deal shows.

Some very creative people in the newsXpress family

merriwawindowhere is a window display created at newsXpress Merriwa in NSW. The dress is made from wrapping paper. It’s truly gorgeous. Even better, the window attracted shoppers – they sold out of the line of paper used. The window was the talk of the town and the business benefited tremendously as a result.

The idea and inspiration for the window came from an engaged newsXpress supplier. The execution was entirely by the team at newsXpress Merriwa – the result is a wonderful tribute to their energy and commitment!

Well done newsXpress Merriwa! This window display is inspirational.

This is a well through-through and layered promotion that newsXpress members can offer at times that best suite their local business needs.
