Congratulations to Jason and the team at newsXpress Palmerston in the Northern territory for selling a division one winning lottery ticket in last night’s draw.
As you’d expect from switched on business people, they have been quick to promote the win out the front of the business – excellent marketing team!
This is another excellent win for the newsXpress brand too.
Newsagency marketing group newsXpress has this week added more EXCLUSIVE suppliers to its community of suppliers who are working to help newsXpress members grow stronger and more valuable businesses.
We don’t list the suppliers here as we do not want to give our competitors guidance on what they should be doing for their members.
Our new suppliers will not be at trade shows newsagents usually visit, enabling us to attract new traffic for our member businesses from new and exciting areas.
Unfortunately, some competitors visit newsXpress stores to look for ideas. While we can’t stop it, we enjoy the game of watching them try and copy.
This is another example of the newsXpress difference.
Shop local is something all small business owners hope for and many complain about. Newsagency marketing group newsXpress is helping its members encourage locals to shop local with its won shop local campaign which runs across all major card seasons in the business. Using our own exclusive art and connecting this as we have been for some time now, the message underscores much of what we do. Our members benefit as a result.
Newsagency marketing group newsXpress last week as a Facebook post which attracted 46,736 views in two days and led to excellent store level engagement with an exclusive product opportunity which is only available in newsXpress stores.
This exclusive opportunity and the associated marketing show a value of newsXpress membership.
Newsagency marketing group newsXpress members have been given access to a suite of print and digital collateral with which to promote Easter in their businesses. This collateral includes digital price tickets which can be modified to suit local business needs.
Connected with the full easter collateral pack, this digital art helps newspapers members tell a consistent story.
EXCLUSIVE is a word newsXpress newsagency marketing group members are hearing more and more as the group accesses for them from suppliers keen to work with engaged newsagents.
Whether it is EXCLUSIVE pricing, EXCLUSIVE products or EXCLUSIVE marketing investment, benefits delivered only to newsXpress members make them more successful and they help them enjoy their businesses more.
EXCLUSIVE is a difference for newsXpress members, something on which they can rely to help make their businesses more valuable.
This is another newsXpress difference.
Take a look at this photo. Look at all the people on one stand at Toy Fair last week. What you can’t see is the other thirty people inside the stand, behind the wall. So big was our Toy fair buying group that we had to break into two. Suppliers closed off their stands for us. the results were stunning. newsXpress buying made the Toy fair for some suppliers. They are thrilled with the results. newsXpress members are thrilled with the deals. They love the EXCLUSIVE opportunities. Toy Fair was a hit. What made us laugh was the competitor following us around trying to access similar deals. One person saying they represent hundreds is not the same as filling a stand with business owners ready to write orders on the spot.
This is newsXpress in action. yes, actions speak louder than words.
newsXpress is thrilled to welcome more new members this week. We’re not public with specific store names as we prefer to do that once they are settled in. We have found in the past that new members have been hounded by competitors when we have announced their details early in their membership.
The latest new members continue the excellent broad mix of newsXpress members: shopping mall, regional and rural. This diversity in membership is something newsXpress members appreciate.
newsXpress publishes very little of its innovation here and elsewhere publicly because others have been copying our innovation. What we research and bring to life for newsXpress members is for them as they are paying to be part of our group. Others need to discover innovation for themselves.
Several of our supplier partners complained that they were hit with requests following things we published here so we are careful to not be too specific.
This approach helps newsXpress members retail more benefits for themselves with others less likely to be able to copy them.
newsXpress last week published the first videos of presentations from its National Conference in Melbourne. The videos provide members and their employees with access to content from the conference so that more in the business can explore the ideas and opportunities presented.
From the opening presentation through, the conference presented newsXpress members and prospects with insights and tips for strategic moves this year and beyond.
Here’s a still from the video that kicked things off for us:
newsXpress last week shared with members of its newsagency marketing group approved artwork for promoting the collectible Itty Bittys from Hallmark.
Wonderful collateral for promoting wonderful products.
Another example of the newsXpress difference in action.
newsXpress loved Itty Bittys.
Disney and Hallmark working together like this is good for business. Customers love it.
The new stands are driving Itty Bitty sales!
Check out how one newsXpress member is using some of the non-seasonal collateral provided to newsXpress members in the last week. Quality A1 posters for professionally promoting your business.
Newsagency marketing group newsXpress is thrilled to have achieved a 65% GP deal for its members from a major national supplier this week. This newsXpress exclusive deal is an excellent opportunity for newsxpress members to make even more GP from these highly sought after products.
Being part of newsXpress delivers excellent benefits.
Check out the artwork left by a newsXpress member at the Ed Vantage stand at Melbourne Toy Fair this week.
Newsagents attending the newsXpress National Conference in Melbourne this week have loved the networking opportunities, the connections made and the friendships renewed. This photo is from our trade show early in the time together. The room filled plenty more.
Another hit at the newsXpress National Conference and Trade Show this week was our new premium bag supplier offering excellent products with a terrific reputation and for a price that helps members achieve a stellar margin. This product category fits with two others which are developing well in newsXpress businesses.
Soap on show from from of our newsXpress preferred suppliers at our national Conference and Trade Show this week was a terrific hit.
This ethical locally made product is loved by newsXpress members who are enjoying excellent new traffic, good sales and good margin.
This is another newsXpress supplier partner success!
In addition to sourcing excellent product, newsXpress backs it with collateral, advice and support – to drive better business results.
Both dinners held as part of the newsXpress national conference in Melbourne this week were a hit.
We enjoyed delicious food, plenty to drive and great company.
Completely free to members – this is another example of the newsXpress difference.
Winning!
