Newsagency of the Future series for 2013 announced

I have finalised details for a capital city series of new Newsagency of the Future workshops.

Presenting fresh content with a fresh 2013 perspective, this two hour workshop will present a roadmap for those who want a roadmap, insights for those who want insights and hope for those seeking hope for the future of the newsagency business.

Much has changed in the last year. T2020, retail trends, the economy, newsagency sales, what we sell, how some suppliers treat us. Now more than at any time in our history, the future of our individual businesses is up to us.

I’ll talk specifically about ho to move your business from average GP (28% to 32%) to 50% (and more) GP and why this is essential.

Anyone is welcome to attend a Newsagency of the Future workshop – newsagents, suppliers and others.  You can book booking form or by booking online.

Each workshop is free and will run for around two hours.

Venues will be finalised in the next week. They will be centrally located and should have access to parking.

I will also be organising dates for Hobart, Newcastle, FNQ (either Townsville or Cairns), Albury, Canberra and the Gold Coast.

    Are you going to record a session and post it on the blog for those who can’t make it?

    Clive I’ll assess that closer to the end of the run. These sessions evolve over time, taking on board feedback and participant questions. If not a video of the whole thing a specially produced video of the key messages.
