newsXpress is a Gold Sponsor of the NANA newsagent of the years awards being awarded in Sydney later this week.
While we are helping to fund the awards, we have deliberately not taken part in nominations or voting – as we would prefer this to be done away from supplier influence.
newsXpress members will be participating in the awards dinner recognising good work by many newsagents.
newsXpress supports newsagents and helps them build more valuable businesses.
More and more newsagents are switching from Newspower to newsXpress. Here are some who have made the move:

newsXpress has run another social media campaign in the last week to further promote the brand nationally to a very specific demographic. This highly-targeted campaign is part of a broader run of smart social media engagement from newsXpress on behalf of its member businesses and its trading partners.
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.
Last week, a group of newsXpress members benefited from a factory tour with one of our preferred suppliers – taking us behind the scenes and learning about what makes these products so special and saleable.
