Selling the Australian Open tennis program

aust_open_tennis.JPGWe’ll sell out of the official program for the Australian Open thanks to our co-location display of this with newspapers.  We have sold more copies from this location and not the sports magazine location where it is often placed in newsagencies.  Not every magazine works with newspapers – we choose titles carefully for this premium space.  We have an acrylic pocket for a single title above our stack of The Age and the Herald Sun.  It’s terrific seeing a newspaper customer purchase the tennis program on impulse.

    Would you please be able to tell me who the distributor is Mark? I only ask because we never received any copies for some reason after we always have.

    Yes, NDD – thanks Peter.

    I do think this would sell outside Melbourne. Now might be getting a bit late though. If you could get stock in a couple of days I’d give it a go – with the newspapers.

    It would be hard to tell, really. Amazing what people ask for up here, though. The last big golf tourny programme sold within a day, even though it was held in Melb.
