Like many newsagents I am sure, we received these sticker sets published by Panini with our Network Services delivery yesterday. While they are on delayed billing, we have to find space for these non magazine items. Our counter is fully allocated. We don’t have a kids department. We tried them in the kids magazine fixtures and they get lost.
Before magazine distributors start spending our money (cash for the stock, rent, labour and shrinkage) on non standard product, they ought to get our permission. Yes, I know that I am dreaming. One day they will realise the damage caused by poor management of what they ship to our channel. I hope.
Quite different to Nz. Can’t you just give ’em a ring and tell them to stop allocating new publications and stock without permission. That’s what we can do with gordon and netlink here.
