Royal baby magazine on-sale changes okay in my view

While it is funny going back to three magazine deliveries this week, I don’t see it being that disruptive in that those of us getting magazines on Friday won’t have to label them. The biggest challenge I can see will be for newsagents with sub agents.  The sales opportunity is what I’m more interested in. I am keen to see what this baby can do for us. This is why we will be going out hard in my newsagencies.

    Massively annoying!

    Merchandisers were here yesterday putting up signs to tell customers to collect today.

    Further, having just re rostered staff for a two day a week pickup for subbies I now have to get them in for another morning.

    Surely it’s only a few extra magazines on Friday, do you really need to have extra staff rostered on?
    I think this will be good for weekend sales and we need it asap as I’m not sure that the interest in Kate and Wills is as big as we used to get with royal stories.

    I think it is a bit of an over kill to have to put on staff for a couple of tittles

    I mean that my delivery team will need to come in, not extra shop staff.

    Poor old SA we miss out again. We got absolutely nothing (it will come on Monday)
    and it is appalling to be treated like a poor relation by these companies.
    By the time we get them Prince George will probably be crawling.
    ps. still wouldn’t want to live in any other
    state though.

    June,

    I believe that the baby will be initially known as Prince Stuart Broad (until he learns how to walk)!
