Sales tip for newsagents: good chef bad chef selling very well

Check your sales for new food title good chef bad chef. We have sold four of our five copies in a few days and ordered more. I have heard from another newsagent who sold all five copies in two days. They have ordered more stock.

At $17.95 a copy, a sale of good chef bad chef is good business.

This is an excellent Australian cookbook connected with the popular Australian TV show of the same name. It’s an easy sell for us.

Our own experience is that placing it with weeklies works best. Yes, shoppers are prepared to spend $17.95 on impulse!

Food titles continue to do very well.

    Hi Jessie – at this stage with Issue #1 only just going on sale and linked to the latest series on TV we are unsure as to when Issue #2 will be published.

    It will also depend on the next series being televised and the dates etc, we will sure to be in touch when it does…..

    Please contact Network Services if you wish to order more stock – if you have any issues with ordering please contact me at nick@cmma.com.au – Thanks.

    We didn’t get any first issue here and cannot get any through network or even start supply. I’ve contacted Nick from the publisher but not a good start for the mag from network.

    Still cant get the magazine at local newsagents ! Can’t find a seller on line.
    Can you send me a copy and I’ll pay by
    visacard. Have a friend who has the same
    problem. What’s the point of your advertising if the agents say they can’t
    get supplies.

    Good Chef Bad Chef issue 2 is being recalled this week. If you can’t find a copy anywhere ask your local newsagent to order you a copy.

    Hi Nick

    I have been tried to buy goodchefbadchef current and previous editions from my local newsagents a few times, with no success. Is there anyway they can be sold a subscription, as it appears to be big issue. I look forward to obtaining the healthy recipes to become healthier.

    A note form an outside/Joe Bloggs Public.
    Some poor organisation seems to be apparent here.
    Is this still a current issue publication or not ?

    Yeah, I did note that Brendan.
    I was a bit curious about the currency of the mag considering Lauras post prior to mine.
