Newsagents tweeting about appalling treatment of our channel by Optus

optus-tweetSeveral newsagents have taken to Twitter this week to complain about the 25% margin cut being applied by Optus against small business newsagents. The more tweets the better for our campaign to get the telco giant to take notice.

it’s great to see newsagents engaged in a campaign like this. It’s disappointing, however, that newsagent associations have not hit social media to complain about the pay cut being meted out against us by Optus.

I am planning more tweets as I live in hope that one day Optus will realise that our channel is important to them and deserves better treatment.

    Slightly (very slightly) off topic, but seems as though it has strayed that way……I can’t remember when the last time I sold a calling card recharge that wasn’t a newsXpress phone card. The margin is fantastic, the customers come back time and time again and they just love the value it brings to them. I cashed in another two lots of freebies for customers today, they become very very loyal to it indeed.
