Rethinking the newspaper stand

newspaperstandx.JPGThis is the stand we are planning to purchase for our Frankston newsagency as part of our shopfit plans.  We will not be including a fixed newspaper stand in the shop-fit, this stand will be it.  While Saturday’s will be a challenge, the rest of the week will be a breeze.  For Saturdays we will stack The Age next to as well as on the stand.  By slightly reconfiguring the stand we can have two bulk in the unit along with smaller volume dailies and foreign language titles.

We like the stand because it is compact and can be easily moved.  Moving where papers are in-store is crucial in this changing marketplace.  It gives us flexibility on space use but, more important, it allows us to surprise customers and stop them being store blind.

The unit has several promotional opportunities which we intend to use – so that the newspaper stand promotes newspapers as well as other product.  We plan to create marketing collateral specifically for the stand.

    I’ve seen a few like that and they make great use of space, probably all we should allocate to them.

    Can you affix a poster holder to the side of it to display poster holders?
