REMINDER: NEWSXPRESS CREATIVE WRITING COMPETITION MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 22, 2020 11:38 AM Newsagency marketing group newsXpress has launched a national creativewriting competition
seeking entries of
short stories, poems and songs that relate, somehow, in some way, to the Aussie newsagency. ALREADY, PLENTY OF ENTRIES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. Two cash prizes of $1,000 each will be awarded, one for anyone aged up to and including 17 and the second for anyone aged more than 17. Writers are invited to submit a short story, first person narrative, song or poem. Each entry is required to in some way reference a newsagency, either a specific business or the type of businessgenerally.
The local newsagency is the quintessential Australian small business, and through Covid the newsagency channel proved it’s value as an essential service to local communities. We wanted to explore a way ofcelebrating that.
The idea of this competition is to encourage creative writing by Australians, to shine a light on local stories and through these reference in some way the local Aussie newsagency. newsXpress is a collective of over 200 local family owned and run newsagency businesses across Australia, mainly rural and regional. Most shops in the group have transitioned from the traditional to be modern. newsXpress businesses showcase Australian made products that help Australians express themselves. To me, this is a PERFECT NEWSAGENCY MARKETING GROUP ACTIVITY. It is fresh, creative and not tied to shoppers spending money in the business. It fits with my view that sometimes the best way to get from A to B is to head for C. I like it too because there is no supplier connection, no outstretched arm asking for help. newsXpress is funding this itself, including providing retailers withA1 colour posters.
Here is more information about the competition: This competition is run by newsXpress Pty Ltd. There are 2 prizes: one of $1,000 for entrant up to and including 17 years of age and one of $1,000 for an entrant more than 17 years of age. Each winner will receive a certificate.TERMS.
* All entries are to be submitted by email to writing@newsxpress.com.au. * Each entry is to include a first page with entrant name, age in years and months, email address, name of local newsXpress business if known (not mandatory) and the name of the piece. * Each page of the entry is to have only the name of the piece. * Entries to be an original, previously unpublished short story, a song, a poem or first person narrative. Maximum word length: 1,000. * Page format is to be A4, font is to be arial, 12pt. No images. For short stories and first person narrative, double spaced please. * Entries to be in PDF or Microsoft Word format or a format easilyread by either.
* There is no limit on entries per person. * There is no entry cost. * Entries close at midnight December 11, 2020. * Each entry must, in some way, reference a newsagency. We are not being prescriptive as to how central a newsagency is to the story, song or poem. We leave that up to the writer. But, we do want there to be a reference at some point to a newsagency, any newsagency. * The decision of the judges will be final. * The winner will be announced on the newsXpress Facebook page and elsewhere no later than January 30, 2021. * newsXpress will publish the winning stories on its blog, creditingthe writer.
* Once the competition is over, all entries will be destroyed. * newsXpress will not share entrant details or use them inmarketing.
A newsXpress local store may choose to offer a local prize or prizes for entries from their area. This will be entirely managed at that local store level by the local store. Footnote: I am the Managing Director of newsXpress.1 likes

THE IMPORTANCE OF ONLINE AS A PLAN B MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 21, 2020 6:44 AM One thing, of many, we have learnt this year is the importance of a Plan B revenue stream. That’s what online revenue is, Plan B revenue, revenue for when your prime source of revenue is challenged. Even if your shop is closed and cannot fulfil, you can collect orders. In Victoria, stores that were closed were permitted to fulfil onlineorders.
What is happening in South Australia should encourage newsagents to be active on a Plan B revenue stream. If you are not online, get online. This means selling online. That’s my recommendation. What you do is up to you. However, if you are not online you are missing out for sure. While I’d love the web team of my newsagency software company to create your site for you, shop around. Look at locally based Shopify developers with a small business retail track record. Shopify has the widest use. It also offers the marketing and sales tools key to give your business a competitive edge online. The biggest challenge newsagents seem to have with online is what to sell. yes, it can be a challenge to work this out. However, it is worth the effort to work it out. Even if you fail the first time, lessons learned can be valuable. Work on a Plan B so that lockdowns and other challenges may be less impactful for your business.7 likes

newsagency of the future Newspaper marketing GAY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS SELLING WELL IN AUSTRALIA MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 20, 2020 9:56 PM Through my suburban newsagency we are selling the December Diamonds range of gay Christmas ornaments. They are
selling well, primarily online though. While we have been selling Christmas ornaments in-store and online for some years, this is our first year selling gay Christmas ornaments. It was a risk as the December Diamonds range was not readily available inAustralia.
While we were at the Atlanta gift fair in January this year, we selected a a sizeable range of gay Christmas ornaments products and broader LGBTQI Christmas ornaments to offer in the Australianmarketplace.
We received the products in late August and started offering them for sale in-store from September. Customers have reacted wonderfully. While they are pitched as gay Christmas ornaments, there are plenty that serve dual purposes, such as this one: In-store they are placed on a tree, so shoppers can see them as they would look at home or work. What is interesting is how people are purchasing these gay Christmas ornaments. It is rare they buy one at a time. Most common is 3, with plenty of sales at 4 and 5. Three is $210.00. That’s a nice sale. This is opening a whole new market for the business, helping to expand how we see Christmas and ornaments more specifically. That is also helping our other ornament sales too, which is good. We have promoted the gay Christmas ornaments with a series of social media posts of images, and videos like this one: Here is another video we used early on to announce the range.
My point here is that we have not spent any money on marketing. rather, we wanted to see if we could build, traffic naturally, without promotions or deals. We have not done anything significantly unique in promoting the range. The key has been in product selection, nurturing the supplier relationship to show what can be done here in Australia with a unique niche Christmas ornament range. Overall, ornament sales for us this year are up 45% on 2019. Most of that has been online. In mention this to demonstrate that the in-store pitch is incidental to the core focus of the business. The shop offers primarily the fulfilment infrastructure. While a core of the revenue from ornaments has come from repeat shoppers, we are serving a healthy mix of new shoppers, which isterrific.
Our hope is that next year, we will see even more business for the gay Christmas ornament range, further expanding the reach of the onlinebusiness.

newsagency marketing SMH: OVATO SEEKS ‘RESTRUCTURE AT THE TAXPAYER’S EXPENSE’ MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 20, 2020 10:10 AM From Nick Bonyhady at the _Sydney Morning Herald_, a story about the possible multi million dollar cost to taxpayers as a result of the proposed Ovato restructure, which is backed by Mercury Capital, owners of Are Media (formerly Bauer Media). > PRINTING GIANT SEEKS ‘RESTRUCTURE AT THE TAXPAYER’S EXPENSE’ > A company controlled by one of Australia’s richest families has > gone to court asking for a restructure that would see the taxpayer > foot the bill for millions of dollars in workers’ entitlements.>

WHY THE DECISION OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT TO CLOSE NEWSAGENTS DURING THE SECOND COVID LOCKDOWN IS WRONG MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 20, 2020 7:10 AM When the South Australian government announced this week the strong lockdown due to a new Covid outbreak in the state, the list of what could be open was tight, focussed. It fitted with how the Premier and the Chief Health Officer described the situation. A few hours after the announcement, they started making changes. Bottle shops could be open. Pet shops, too. As it evolved, the list from the state government was odd. For example, if they really wanted to stop movement, why allow ALL petrol outlets and ALL hardware stores to be open? Newsagents expected their channel of locally owned and run community businesses to be added to the list. It has not happened. Having lived and worked through the second lockdown in Victoria, here is why I think the South Australian government decision to not include newsagents on the list of businesses that can open is wrong. NEWS. While plenty of newsagencies have diversified, providing access to news remains a key traffic activity. While some may say petrol outlets and supermarkets sell papers too, they do not sell the range. FOREIGN LANGUAGE NEWS. In the stage 23 lockdown in Melbourne, the sales of foreign language newspapers spiked more so than local newspapers. In many places newsagents are the only outlet for these titles. It’s like the government has ignored those who rely on foreign language newspapers for news. This alone should be the reason newsagents are allowed to be open. LOCAL MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS. Newsagents are the only retailers stocking many local, niche, Aussie magazine titles. With newsagencies closed in South Australia, those titles lose sales. FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. Many newsagents offer financial transactionservices.
PARCEL COLLECTION AND DROP OFF. Many newsagents offer parcel services. MENTAL HEALTH. As the main retailer of greeting cards, we naturally saw sales spike in the stage 2 lockdown in Victoria as people found other ways to connect. We know from what they said across the counter that they appreciated being able to do that. HAPPINESS AT HOME. People at home crave things to do. Newsagencies are the best diverse outlet for crosswords, jigsaws, craft magazines, craft kits and related products. sales of these spiked in the stage 2 lockdown in Victoria. The decision by the South Australian government has provided key competitors of retail newsagents a valuable free kick. Here is how… LOTTERY PRODUCTS. The _On the Run_ stores all qualify to be open. They have papers, magazines and TheLott lottery products. Them being open while newsagencies are closed provides an opportunity to break shopper habits. It gives them a COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. GREETING CARDS. Supermarkets and Post offices sell cards, again allowing the habit of the card purchase at a newsagency to be broken. MAGAZINES. The habit based newsagency magazine shopper may look at the supermarket range, find what they want and break their habit. The potential for harm to so many small, family run, businesses in South Australia is considerable. Newsagencies has been proven through Covid to be safe retail spaces. They were early adopters of an entry / exit strategy, acrylic screen protection at the counter, easy access to hand sanitiser and earlyusers of masks.
I guess the biggest surprise related to pet shops that were added to the list of what could open after the list was first published. Supermarkets and vets cover all that pet owners could need. Yet, the government added them to the open list. The case for newsagents is stronger than pet shops in my view. Don’t take that as me saying pet shops should not be open. I am notsaying that.
Given the scope of the evolving SA list, I think the case for keeping newsagents closed has become weaker by the hour. I HOPE THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, THE POLITICIANS, THE BUREAUCRATS, THE POLICE RECONSIDER AND PERMIT NEWSAGENTS TO OPEN. MANY IN THE COMMUNITY WOULD APPLAUD SUCH A MOVE.9 likes

Social responsibility WHY ARE NEWSAGENTS NOT ON THE LIST OF RETAIL BUSINESSES PERMITTED TO BE OPEN IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA IN THE LATEST COVID LOCKDOWN? MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 19, 2020 6:56 AM It does not make sense that those in control of the list of retail businesses that can be open in the second Covid lockdown in South Australia, which came into effect at midnight, does not includenewsagents.
All through late yesterday and into the night the list evolved, as you’d expect in such a situation. First to be added to the list of businesses that could open is bottle shops. In terms of priorities, that sends an odd message. Now on the list, in addition to supermarkets from the original list, we can see pet shops, butchers, fruit and vegetable shops andfishmongers.
But not newsagents.
Distribution centres can be open. If I was a distribution newsagent I’d take this as permission to open. Newsagents play a key role in keeping people informed and connected. They were identified as essential in the first national Covid lockdown and also identified as essential early in the second, and more restrictive, lockdown in Victoria. MY SUGGESTION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NEWSAGENTS IS THAT THEY URGENTLY REACH OUT TO LOCAL MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AS WELL AS AT THE LEADERSHIP LEVEL. MAKE THE CASE THAT YOUR BUSINESS IS ESSENTIAL, BE CLEAR AS TO WHY. URGE THEM TO LOBBY FOR THE DECISION TO BE RECONSIDERED. KEEP THE CONTACT CIVIL AND STICK TO THE FACTS. In Victoria we saw News Corp. actively engaged on behalf of newsagents early on, seeking to ensure newsagencies remained open. Indeed, I think I recall seeing newsagents on a list from the Herald Sun of businesses that would be open before the government issued the list. I wondered at the time if that was a lobbying move. I’d love to see News Corp outlets in South Australia lobby publicly on behalf of the channel. Given how these things go, I urge newsagents to engage on this now. In addition to calling and emailing local members of parliament, be active on your business Facebook page and the Facebook page of politicians. Don’t be whiney or needy. rather, speak to the importance of maintaining easy access to news and people to people connection. Stress that you are a Covid safe business, with all the necessary protocols in place. The changes to the list of what can be open from the. it was first announced indicate flexibility. One thing I thought all governments would have learned from the Victorian experience is to BE PREPARED. Lists of essential businesses should be well established and thoroughly debated as part of good planning. That appears to not have been done in SA.13 likes

SA NEWSAGENTS NOT LISTED ON THE SA GOVERNMENT LIST OF BUSINESSES PERMITTED TO REMAIN OPERATIONAL DURING SNAP COVID LOCKDOWN MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 18, 2020 3:40 PM Here is the list issued by the state governmenta few minutes ago:
_THE FOLLOWING WILL BE PERMITTED TO REMAIN OPERATIONAL TO MAINTAIN CRITICAL SERVICES ONLY:_ * _Critical infrastructure including power, telecommunications,water;_
* _Supermarkets for essential food;_ * _Medical supplies and medical services;_ * _Public transport;_ * _Airport and essential freight;_ * _Petrol stations;_ * _Post Offices and Banking institutions;_ * _Child care and schools for essential services workers only;_* _Veterinary;_
* _Essential agriculture services ;_ * _Factories remain open for essential machinery upkeep and production of essential products only; and_ * _Mining and smelting for continuity and to prevent damage._ In that state statement from the government a few minutes ago is this: _PEOPLE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR THE FOLLOWINGREASONS:_
* _To go to work as an emergency services worker or to worker providing essential services;_ * _For agricultural work;_ * _To receive medical care including seeking COVID-19 testing;_ * _To obtain medical supplies;_ * _One person from the household once a day to attend supermarkets to obtain essential supplies;_ * _Organised end of life visits;_ * _In an emergency situation._ This is even clearer: _THE FOLLOWING BUSINESSES WILL CLOSE:_ * _Takeaway food services_ * _Shops (excluding essential food services)_ * _Universities and tertiary education facilities_ * _Pubs/restaurants/café/food courts_ * _Elective surgery/ except cancer_ * _Open inspections and auctions_ * _Fly in fly out worker_ * _Aged care and disability facilities will go into lockdown_ * _Construction industry_ * _Holiday homes and other holiday accommodation and no furtherbookings_
* _Wedding and funerals cancelled and banned_ * _Outdoor sport/fitness/exercise not permitted_ * _Regional travel not permitted_ Taking those three together, supermarkets are explicitly names, as are post offices, banks and petrol stations in terms of retail. It is unexpected among suppliers and others involved with the newsagency channel that newsagents are not listed on this list. My understanding is that discussions are under way. The situation maychange.

Newsagency management A NOTE ON NEWS CORP. REQUEST FOR DATA FROM HOME DELIVERY NEWSAGENTS MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 18, 2020 9:53 AM I Queensland home delivery newsagent mentioned to me a request from News Corp for them to enter data manually in advance of New Corp. taking over newspaper home deliveries. I have spoken to the News Corp manager for the project. They confirmed that they have the instructions for harvesting the data from the Tower software and other newsagency software. If a newsagent does not want to or does not have time to enter the data manually, they can go back to their area manager and suggest that the data upload approach is followed. This is what happened in NSW. Newsagents with a home delivery customer list below a small size are the ones who will be requested to enter the data manually.2 likes

newspaper home delivery THE SIGNIFICANT HIT OF REGIONAL NEWSPAPER CLOSURES MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 18, 2020 9:23 AM I am grateful to have seen comprehensive sales data for October 2020 compared to 2019 for a range of regional newsagencies. In this data, the impact of the loss of regional newspapers is laid bare. In one case, the business lost several thousand transactions in a month. With more than half their local newspaper sales being a local newspaper and nothing else, the paper closure removes a reason for a chunk of shopper visits. Remove enough of these reasons and you impact the broader health ofthe newsagency.
More traditional newsagencies rely on layered traffic courses, with regional / local newsapapers being one of these. While the loss of a local newspaper is not easily addressed by newsagents, the businesses that fare best are those that pull shoppers for a diverse mix of purposes. Net new traffic attraction remains a key business activity for all retailers in our channel. Our suppliers focus on their category, as they should. It is up to us to focus on traffic for OUR businesses.2 likes

For years, we have seen Australia Post chip away at various product categories like greeting cards, games, toys, gifts, sewing machines and more. The government owned enterprise does this, in my opinion, leveraging the benefits of government ownership and relying on that protection and its provision of extraordinary resources to enable the corporation with a competitive advantage. Now, newsagents can either sit back and let this Are media move play out, or they can act. I say the channel needs to act. Having 800+ corporate run government owned outlets taking money from our shops is appalling. This is the government competing with us, taking revenue and taking products we are challenged to get in our own businesses. ALNA is part of COSBOA. They are working for newsagents on this issue through the lobbying route. Newsagents themselves need to think about what they might do about this, especially in the light of the possibility of Are media, through their owners, having a considerable stake in the Ovato business. In case you missed it, here is a video I shot the morning after the Are Media / Australia Post announcement.

Newsagency challenges Newsagency management Social responsibility AN EARLY LOOK AT CHRISTMAS 2020 IN LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS RETAIL INAUSTRALIA
MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 17, 2020 6:27 AM I am grateful to the many retailers who have shared recent year on year comparative sales data. This has enabled me to a deep dive into shopper traffic, basket depth and product category performance. I have done this to get an early look into what Christmas 2020 in local small business retail might look like. The headline is that CHRISTMAS 2020 LOOKS GOOD IN LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSRETAIL.
Local high street retailers are doing considerably better than shopping mall retail. Suburban, regional and rural high street retail businesses, for which we have comprehensive sales data, are doing very well. They are experiencing solid double-digit year-on-year growth. For the dataset of 60+ businesses in our latest analysis, the average year on year revenue growth is 22%. What is interesting is that the spike in revenue growth is not matched in a spike in shopper traffic. Rather, the revenue spike has come from shoppers buying more in each visit, driving better shopper efficiency. We are seeing average sale value increase by between 10% and 25%. The dataset includes business across all states and territories except for the Northern Territory. The results are universal. There appears to be no difference between Victoria, which was in lockdown for some of the weeks under analysis and other states that were not inlockdown.
In terms of Christmas specifically, data indicate excellent year on year growth in Christmas card sales. The same is true for Christmas decorations, Christmas-themed home decor and gift wrap. Year on year growth is, again, 20% and more. Locally made products are doing particularly well. Shoppers continue to engage with supply chain questions. A common question relates to sourcing from China. Also of note is excellent growth in sales of calendars and diaries. The diaries growth encourages an optimistic outlook on 2021. Smart retailers are pitching it as that and having some fun with putting2020 in the past.
Back in March, in the early days of Covid in Australia, jigsaws were hot. They sold out fast. Some expected the surge to fade over time. The latest sales data for October and even into the first two weeks of November suggest otherwise. Yes, jigsaw sales remain strong. half of the stores in the latest dataset sell jigsaws and every one of them is reporting year on year growth. The average of that growth is 150%. Key is breadth of range of supply. In addition to the jigsaw growth, crafts, art, maker kits and similar are all showing strong results. Comfort gifts are especially strong. Core in this category is plush. Plush is often dismissed as being tired or _ho hum_. We have seen sales in the plush space up as much as 50% off a strong base. In one local high street retail business in one recent week, for example, they did $1,850.00 in everyday plush, more than double their usual sales. Range, again, is key this this success. Not reflected in the POS software collected data is anecdotal evidence that PEOPLE ARE SPENDING MORE THIS CHRISTMAS. Many retailers spoke to this. They spoke of shoppers saying they were spending more on loved ones as well as buying gifts for some they would not usually buy for. There is the wonder as to the role of government stimulus funding on the sales results. While retailers think is is a factor, they do not see it as the key factor. If time does reveal it as a key factor, local small business retailers will respond accordingly. They are anagile bunch.
CONSIDERING THE SALES DATA AND THE AND THE ANECDOTAL COMMENTS, CHRISTMAS 2020 LOOKS STRONG. Plenty of retailers are already talking up the first quarter of 2021. FOOTNOTE: I wrote this for my POS software company yesterday as it relates to not only data from newsagencies. I share it here as it speaks to optimism so many newsagents feel right now.7 likes

AUSTRALIAN SHOPPERS PREFERENCE HIGH STREET RETAIL OVER SHOPPING MALLS MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 16, 2020 6:13 AM Looking at retail newsagency sales data for October and the first 2 weeks of November of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, there is evidence that Australian shoppers are preferencing high street retail over shopping mall retail. Newsagencies in high street situations, city and country, are doing much better, often reporting strong double-digit growth, compared to shopping mall businesses. In the dataset I can see plenty of good news flowing from the easing of Covid related restrictions across retail in the newsagency channel. The news for high street situated retail newsagencies is considerably better than for those in shopping mall situations. Looking at the core category of magazines. While the overall channel average is a year on year decline, even in locations where Covid restrictions have been relaxed for months, it is in high street situations that I am more likely see growth in the sales data. Digging deeper into the _women’s weeklies_ segment of magazines, decline in shopping mall businesses yet growth in some high street city and regional businesses. So, what sort of growth am I talking about? There are high street newsagencies reporting 45% year on year growth, off a good base. THE MAJORITY OF THIS GROWTH IS COMING FROM HIGH MARGIN LINES SUCH AS GIFTS, HOMEWARES, GAMES AND TOYS. This is driving up overall businessGP%.
One factor at play here is the diversity in high street businesses. They tend to offer more product categories, thereby appealing to a broader range of shoppers. I do wonder if this is a consequence of narrow permitted use clauses required by shopping mall landlords. While it is early days in the recovery, there are indications of a stickiness to high street retail. That is, shoppers who found high street newsagencies are tending to stay, liking what they saw when those were the only general retail businesses open during lockdown. While I don’t want to read too much into the year on year sales results I have seen so far, I like what I am seeing and am encouraged that the growth plenty saw during the Covid lockdown is continuing. Based on the sales data, newsagency type businesses are, in my opinion, worth more today than they were this time last year and that has to be good news for the newsagency channel and those who supply the newsagency channel.4 likes

newsagency of the future ADVICE FOR LEVERAGING CHRISTMAS NOW MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 15, 2020 8:08 AM Here is a small selection of some of the Christmas marketing and management advice that is part of the newsXpress store management /advice kit:
* ALWAYS:
* Pitch 3 Christmas cards at the counter, on the newsXpress stand – carefully selected, changed weekly. * Have gift wrap tape with wrapping paper. * Have a selection wrapping paper and bags with cards, at the counter and with newspapers. * Run your loyalty programs through Christmas – to bring themback.
* Make the shop smell like Christmas. * Keep all everyday and lifestyle cards up – they sell through. * LET YOUR CUSTOMERS HELP EACH OTHER. Setup a whiteboard or sheets of butcher’s paper, yes keep it simple. Get customers to write gift suggestions under different age/gender groups. For example: Girls 18 – 25, Boys 55+. Encourage your customers to help each other throughtheir suggestions.
* FACILITATE SHARING STORIES. Find space in your shop for customers to share their Christmas stories. It could be a story wall inside or in front of the shop. This initiative encourages storytelling by locals and better connects the business with the community. * SHARE CHRISTMAS RECIPES. Each week for, say, four weeks, give customers a family Christmas recipe. This personalises Christmas in your business, creates a talking point and makes shopping with you different to your bigger competitors. * HELP PEOPLE REST AND RECHARGE. Create a Christmas shopping rest and recovery zone. Offer free tea, coffee, water and something to eat. Encourage people to take a break in your shop – without any obligation for them to spend money with you. I am sharing this today to encourage others to think about and engage with Christmas 2020. It’s an odd year and results will benefit from fresh, not your usual, engagement.6 likes

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2020: My view is that we need to consider what is happening with Ovato in the context of my recent post: _What if the most important stream of revenue for your business was cut off overnight?_.
Okay, this may not be overnight, and it relies on a truckload of assumption … but what if Mercury get into a position of significant influence over Ovato? What if they saw a brighter future for top selling magazines through Australia Post, Supermarkets and Convenience, with newsagents way down the line? I know the folks at Ovato will say that is hot a consideration. I accept that in their offices it would not be a consideration. But, what if Mercury gained a position of influence. It is what Mercury wants that would matter more. Ovato is two main businesses print and distribution. I suspect that given the pivot of supermarkets and mass retail away from catalogues and flyers the print business is challenges. I suspect the magazine distribution part of distribution is doing well. However, that business is currently tied to the print business. While I am no accountant or business strategy expert, what if the magazine distribution part of the business was spun out of a Mercury influenced Ovato, what would that look like for Mercury, their Are media business and for magazine distribution. This is all speculation. I have read a chunk of the Project Walker document. While it is considerable, 624 pages, it does not address how this may ultimately play out. It certainly speaks to the immediate need. Does it speak to what actually matters to us. Ovato has a cash challenge brought on by decay within its core businesses and accelerated by Covid. In the print part of the business especially it appears the company did not have a solid plan b in the event of the lost of an important revenue stream. What was lodged with the ASX yesterday represents an early step. The next few weeks will be interesting for all involved with the business. From a newsagent perspective, I am keen to hear what Mercury Capital has to say, in particular about the future of the magazine distribution side of the Ovato business. Had Are media not pursured the Australia Post trial I would be less concerned.6 likes

LATE NEWSPAPERS TODAY IN NSW MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 12, 2020 8:04 AM Today’s _Daily Telegraph_ was printed hours late, reportedly because of the State of Origin. As a consequence, you have newspapers being delivered now and, likely until mid morning. From a workplace health and safety perspective this is not ideal. You have more traffic on the road now at 8am compared to 5am, plus more pedestrians as kids are off to school. Already, newsagencies are being hit with calls from irate customers. I suspect the publishers will be, too. Newsagents have contacted me, frustrated with poor communication fromNews Corp.
WHAT A MESS.
If you are a newspaper customer and reading this, please don’t be anger at your local newsagent. The lateness is 100% the fault of the newspaper publisher.8 likes

CHALLENGING FINANCIALS FROM GNS MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 12, 2020 6:28 AM Several newsagents have sent me the GNS annual report for the year to June 30, 2020. It details a decline in revenue and an increase inlosses.
With all newsagents remaining open through Covid and many doing so well that they did not qualify for JobKeeper, it is surprising to see the extent of the GNS losses. But … the business is going through realignment so time may show these results to be transitory. The note in the annual report about the reduction in the number of newsagencies cited as a material risk needs to be noted: For what it’s worth, I think the company continues fail on the technology front. Smarter and more modern engagement with retailers, including newsagents could reduce leakage to other suppliers, increase purchase, and provide data that can be leveraged to help newsagents increase stationery sales.1 likes

Social responsibility $500 A DAY IN REVENUE BEFORE OPENING THE SHOP EACH DAY LAST WEEK MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 11, 2020 6:36 AM We have booked more than $500 in revenue every day for the last seven days between when we closed the night before and opening the next morning. These are online sales. On three days, it was more than$1,000 in revenue.
Gross profit percentage for the products is, 50%. There is no retain penance space cost as online uses existing retail space that is required anyway. The labour cost is minimal with it being accounted through everyday roster management at the store. While some purchases are click and collect, the majority ship to people who live hours, sometimes days, away. I KNOW THAT MY SHOP IS NOT ALONE IN OUR CHANNEL ACHIEVING THESENUMBERS AND MORE.
We are not yet where we know we can be. We think that, with little investment, we can easily double the results of this online business. It is essential that every newsagency business has an online outlet and that this is not represented as an online newsagency. Those having the most success online play outside the confines, assumptions and history related to the channel. ONLINE REVENUE IS THERE FOR THE HARVESTING. Sure, it is hard work, but it can be done on a minimal budget. The most important investments are creativity and strategy. There is what I’d describe as a dopamine hit when I open emails in the morning and see the online sales from overnight.9 likes

Newsagency management newsagency of the future Newsagency opportunities THERE ARE SIGNS MAJOR LANDLORDS ARE SCRAMBLING TO APPEAL TO NEWSAGENTS MARK FLETCHER ON NOVEMBER 10, 2020 7:39 AM Newsagents in two different large capital city shopping centres received revised offers from their respective landlords last week to entice them to stay in the centre. In each case their lease was ending and the newsagents had advised they would not continue because of the high occupancy cost. \For months the respective landlords said there was no room to move and then, at the last minute, they blocked and offered a substantiallydiscounted offer.
What makes these cases different is that the discounted offer is a discount on base rent, not some manipulated pitch that enables the landlord to claim higher value for the space than what is actuallypaid.
If what I’m told Wass pitched last week is a trend, it would be good news for newsagents in shopping centres.5 likes
