The 5 WAYS TO KICK START YOUR NEWSAGENCY workshop starts on Monday. I’ll be hitting six cities in five days and meeting with between 250 and 300 newsagents. This weekend I am working on the content to ensure it is fresh, relevant and genuinely useful. The location details are:
- Melbourne. Monday Feb. 9 at 2pm. Crest on Barkly. Barkly St St Kilda. Some parking on site.
- Brisbane. Tuesday Feb. 10 at 10am. Brisbane Riverview Hotel. Cnr Kingsford Smith Dr & Hunt St Hamilton. Parking Available.
- Sydney. Wednesday Feb. 11 at 11am. Rydges Camperdown. 9 Missenden Road Camperdown. Basement Level Parking Available.
- Canberra. Wednesday Feb. 11 at 6pm. Rydges Capital Hill. Cnr Canberra Ave & National Cct Forrest. Undercover Parking Available.
- Adelaide. Thursday Feb. 12 at 10am. Rydges Southpark. 1 South Terrace Adelaide. Parking Available.
- Perth. Friday Feb. 13 at 10am. venue to be confirmed.
I’d be thrilled to catch up with newsagents who wish to drop by who have not booked – it’s free. Even though we have excellent numbers in each city I am sure we can make room for more.
I’d love to go but can’t.
I’d encourage newsagents to go if you’ve never been to a newsagent specific workshop before. You WILL take helpful hints away from it that will benefit your business.
Is there anyway we can get a run down for those who can’t attend?
Went today at StKilda and found it informative. The presentaion reinforced some of my own opinions of where newsagent are heading. As a subby I already place a lower emphasis on print media as a profitable line and it is certain that all newsagents will have to change thier businesses over the next few years to survive. I feel strongly that branding of a new look business is the way of the future and that newsagent will will have to develope new business models and probable a new name for our segment of the retail market.
