I am disappointed with the last issue of Australian Good Food from ACP (Bauer). The publisher has sent us two copies – the current issue and an old issue. They have also increased supply. So, we have a thicker product and more product. Like many newsagents, I don’t have the shelf space, especially at this time of the year.
I suspect newsagents will early return some stock since we are not compensated for shell space used – unlike our supermarket competitors. We are not, yet.
While publishers use free back issues as a gift to drive sales, with Australian Good Food now dead I can’t see the value of attracting new readers.
normaly sell 2 out of 4 this time round i recieve 20 , early return is the only option with this , what ever is not sold by wednesday is going back
Not only did I receive 12 when I sell 1 or 2 half have a extra mag bagged with them and the other half are bagged with a magazine stand, talk about keeping it consistent. I suppose they just looked around the warehouse and bagged what ever they could find. I’ll keep 2 and return the rest before the end of the month.
Happy with my supply 25 as i normally sell 15 to 20
It is silly to bag it as we all know that customers like looking through cook books especially this time of the year.
Sad to see it finishing as I found it a good selling
