BBC Classic Drama

The partworks year kicked off yesterday with a couple of launches. The one we are most interested in is BBC Classic Drama as we feel it best connects with our demographic.

To promote Classic Drama we have created a display in the entrance which sees 80% of traffic into and out of our store. It stands alone with good space on either side.

There is no point in promoting this in the usual partworks area – new issue partworks are high impulse purchases, hence the location.

Partworks customers are efficient in newsagencies. A couple of years ago I collated data from more than 100 stores and found partworks customers to be twice as likely to purcahse other items in a newsagency compared to those purchasing a regular magazine. This is a key reason we are happy to heavily promote new partworks.

Some reading this will want to comment about supply issues as causing too much grief for partworks. I agree it is a problem. However, I am confident that more effort is being brought to the table to resolve this than at any time in the past.
