The Chat branded crossword titles are not good sellers in any of our newsagencies. We are giving them a final chance by placing them away from the crossword section and with the Chat weekly magazine. With our crossword category growing more than 20% year on year and these Chat titles going nowhere this latest move is their only hope of staying with us.
Thank you for posting these tips. They are always helpful. This blog is a great resource even thought I am not a newsagency.
As the Circulation manager for Lovatts Publications. I visit many Newsagents around Australia. Your comments regarding the sales, or more to the point lack of sales of many of the overseas crosswords is repeated over and over again. I fail to see why many agents continue to tie up your valuable space and a drain your overdraft with non selling products. Be selective, reduce your range and financial outlay. Give better displays for the best selling titles and improve your income
