I have been contacted by HK Consultants and asked to comment about Negotiating Your Payrise, a 2 CD Audio Course they have on offer. They would like to place it in newsagencies for sale. It’s RRP is $19.95. Of the $18.14 (ex GST), HK will bill the newsagency $9.06 ex GST, leaving with $9.08 (ex GST) for each unit sold. Click here for a flyer.
I advised that I was not sure how the Negotiating Your Payrise would go in newsagencies in that it would need to be at the counter given the price and given that it would not easily fit into any department in a newsagency. I can see it working well in some newsagencies and not so well in others. This is why distribution through a magazine distributor would not be ideal.
I suggested I blog about it here so that newsagents could provide direct feedback. The folks at HK agreed. I am pleased for the blog to be used in this way – for suppliers to ask about whether newsagents are interested in a product.
Supply enquiries should be directed to Drew Okawa email: drew@hkconsultants.com.au.
Disclosure: I have no commercial arrangement with this company.
Spot on about suppyly newsagents directly. I agree this is a difficult and unusual one to categorise on the shelf to get noticed and sell itself. When that’s the case in my Newsagency the title goes to the counter for all to see rather than just a category browser.
