Halloween in full swing for newsXpress stores

halbrandsnewsXpress businesses across Australia are embracing the Halloween opportunity with products appealing to all ages and tastes. From the low cost kids items through to centrepieces for Halloween dinners through to zombie party requirements, Halloween 2013 is in full flight with newsXpress.

Thanks to a broad range of good-margin supplier relationships, newsXpress members are able to take their Halloween pitch to a more creative place than you see in traditional retail. They are also able to more effectively compete with the major retailers as we can access some Halloween product they do not have access to.

Attracting new shoppers and driving a deeper basket from existing shoppers, Halloween continues to be an excellent newsXpress success story.

In addition to being commercially valuable, Halloween plays a vital role in attracting additional shoppers in the lead up to Christmas. This works a treat for newsXpress members and has done so for many years.

In the newsagency channel, newsXpress owns Halloween.
