Newsagents only need to look at newsagent industry awards and events to see the businesses which support them. Sponsors of awards, conferences and other events provide practical help to newsagents. My frustration is that it seems to be the same businesses each year.
The QNF Newsagent of the Year Awards dinner on Saturday night is a good example. The photo of the left shows the sponsors as published on the program for the evening. While newsagents ought to select suppliers on their merits, industry support has to be a factor for without this some events crucial to the health of the channel would not happen.
Some newsagent suppliers take and don’t give back.
