While it still has a few hours to run, the GNS Market Fair in Sydney has been considerably busier than Melbourne. To me business is measured by newsagents on the floor, their level of engagement and the business being written by suppliers. I’d go as far as saying this is one of the best GNS fairs in Sydney I’ve been to.
NSW newsagents at the fair were upbeat too, talking about changes they are making in their businesses, talking like retailers more than agents. This has been good to see.
I enjoyed the Fair I like this venue over Homebush and the fair was nice and compact.
I must say I thought the GNS stand was the best layout for some time and not at the end of the que was a refreshing change.
Sad imo that the 2 major Greeting Card supplies could not show any support at all.
Having my child with me I could not see the speakers and I would of liked to. Shame that these talks are not uploaded to the net for people to view.
I must say I enjoy your Video being it Newsagency of the Future or even a support One I would like to see more of our industy imbrace this media.

Thanks Mark and Brett for your comments and feedback.
We have worked very hard to bring about changes to these events from past years and it’s great to see this is being recognised. I also felt the atmosphere was upbeat and our customers were pleased to see new products and solutions.
We will continue to improve wherever we can based on feedback from customers, suppliers and Industry Partners.
Brett, we will Video the presentations at the Brisbane Expo in a couple of weeks and post links accordingly. Thanks for this suggestion.
