I am guessing other newsagents have received the email from Optus advising that their new account is now active and pitching gifts and offers – when newsagents have not signed up for Optus.
Optus is not handling going direct to retailers well. Indeed, this latest unsolicited communication is demonstrating poor management or dreadful presumption.
You guessed right Mark. The e-mail comes across as very presumptive indeed. I have had numerous phone calls since the demise of Jenlist but as I keep telling them I have not decided the future of phone products in my store. I know one thing though, the massive floor decal I have had on the floor in front of the newspapers promoting Optus recharge for the last couple of months, is getting taken off tomorrow. Are Newsagents sick of low margin returns……Yes`
