We have had our range of desk calendars out for several seeks and they are ticking along well. There is nothing fancy about our display – we have these at one of our counters. The price this year is the same as last year – $2.00 a block. I’d be interested in what others charge because one newsagent I was talking with yesterday charges $1.50 and he was convinced he could not charge more. I think we could go to $2.20 without impacting sales. This is a convenience offer.
$2.00 HERE
$2.50 for years
$2.00 HERE
$4.50 Here and no complaints.
$4.50 is surely a joke,if not its a disgrace
Helen, no joke. I’ve owned my shop for two years and although bought it because of it’s location and future developments (still waiting-Doh!) have increased the annual turnover by over $500K per year (not including the big Oz and Powerball draws influence) I’m pretty stoked with my performance.
I know I march to the beat of a different drum with how I operate my shop, but it works – It’s healthy, customers are happy, the bank manager’s happy and I’m happy.
Disgrace though? Customers can spend $5 on petrol and drive to Officeworks and buy one for two bucks for what I care. They can also spend $19.95 for a calendar with a photo of a puppy that’ll tell them what day it is as well.
No one’s holding a gun to their head when they shop at my store. I sell a lot of stationery at very competitive prices as well.
Regards.
I get my price list from Collins and sell at RRP… I think I need to increase after reading this. wow
in my opinion the whole newsagency channel is branded as as expensive when people price at such outrageous margins,perceptions such as these really hurt the channel long term as a whole…it may benefit some in the short term but long term the brand of “newsagency”gets damaged…
Helen, One could also argue that your pricing damages the “newsagency” brand/industry. ie. cheapens, ultimately devaluing the brand
you could argue both sides all day but at the end of the day what ever works works, if you can get more than twice the price than your competitor is selling something for and people are happy to pay it then who really cares ..
I dont recall saying i even sell ’em big boy!!
Im have them at $1.25 how do u guys sleep at night !!!
how much do you sell a can of coke for that cost about 50cents to buy ??
$1.00 a can
Mine are $2, the same as the Supermarket in our centre but cheaper than some of the food outlets nearby.
No complaints on the price either.
u guys must work on 200% mark up
i must say i am a coke drinker and in the past 10 years i have never paid $1 for a can of coke ,that would have to be the cheapest in the country …are you serious ?
We start ours at $1.45 for one and go down to $1.16 each if you buy 20. Ours is a city location with lots of offices and plenty of competition. Officeworks has them at $1.99 which makes a mockery of their low price claims.
2.95 here and will sell out by january.

(diff Aaron to the one above)
About the coke cans, at Uni the prices vary from $1.30-$2.20
even the vending machines aren’t all the same price ($2.8-$3.00)
