Street directories still popular for Father’s Day

A few years back I wrote here that I expected street directory sales to slow down due to sat. nav. devices and maps on phone. I was wrong.  While directory sales are off slightly, the decline I am seeing is very small. We expect good numbers from the latest Melway street directory, the 2014 edition. It’s in just in time for Father’s Day and we’re having a ripper go with it.

    Weird, we haven’t sold directories for years. We might get asked once or twice a year for one. Might be our demographic.

    What’s refreshing about all your articles on your BLOG Mark is your honesty. I may not share your opinion, but it is posted anyway.

    To say you are wrong on something you have previously forecast is as I said refreshing and adds quality to your blog…. I mean who ever heard of a male being wrong!!

    … I could have added that sales of street directories are down in my store, but then that would have made you right!!
