A year ago we received 31 copies of The Block magazine and returned 22. This year, taking no notice of our sales data, Bauer supplied us 31 copies again. Last year we promoted the title prominently. This year we are not. We have better use for the same. Saturday, I early returned stock of this title.
At the ACCC conference Thursday last week Bauer representatives talked about how they want to help newsagents and how the proposed new magazine supply rules they the ACCC are key to this. This oversupply of The Block title is a harm they could have prevented without ACCC approval. That they so grossly oversupplied is what feeds into distrust newsagents have.
Newsagents may want to check supply of this title and resolve any early returns now.
Last year they sent 5 and I sent 5 back , so this year they send 6 not really an over supply but more of a “WHY SUPPLY”. No one is interested in the show anymore (I do watch it ) Just like the cooking shows there is very little or no interest anymore when it come to mags for these tv shows
We are trying to purchase a Copy of the Block series 17.
