Newsagents can expect a sales lift today with more people out and about voting than the usual Saturday traffic. We notice a lift every election day.
Newsagencies closer to polling places can do especially well with a good offer pitched to passers-by.
Baz is busy at the front counter asking everyone if they’ve given blood yet – just had a customer comment that our front counter is better than television – we expect heaps of interaction with all our regular customers and lots of extras for a lively morning. We know quite a few young first time voters too, so we encourage them to remember that they should be pleased to live in a country where we can all vote, much better than the alternative.Mind you, the papers truck from Sydney has just pulled in one and a half hours late, journos up there can’t spell “erection”, This means lots of folk come into our shop twice today!
Enjoy it everyone!
