Several Victorian newsagents have contacted me following this post revealing the 10% discount on stationery being offered to Victorian newsagents joining Newspower in July. This Victorian only offer was news to GNS offices in Sydney and Brisbane. One question is if GNS Victoria has the funds for such an offer why not the other states. Another comment was – why is GNS using funds from all newsagents to try and get them to join the marketing group it controls.
I’m conflicted in this in that I am a Director of newsXpress. However, I am also a GNS customer and unit/shareholder of 11 years standing. I am not happy that my money is used in this way.
