I like Forge magazine but I do not like that I get four copies when I only need 2 and that I have to keep it on the shelves longer than viable given the cost of the space it occupies.
It is tough and often unprofitable work being a magazine specialist.
Hi Mark we received 75 national geographic kids as we only sell about 50 womans day weekly a little excessive
Andrew, out of all the newsagents local to me, I’m so far “winning” on this one.
Most of my neighbouring newsagents got NONE, one got 36, I got a WHOPPING 145….thats not a typo…one hundred and forty five!!!
and on the last day of the month too. How convenient for them….by the time I got around to calling IPS, they had closed for the day. Their office hours are only until 3:30pm. Maybe we should keep office hours too…
I meant to say that was refering to national geo kids…
The National Geographic Kids are for a Sunday Age / whatever the Sydney version of the Age is called promotion. $3 with the Sunday Age.
Well it would have been nice to have some paperwork with it to explain,
but it doesn’t explain why a lot of my neighbouring newsagents got none at all, or 36 in one case
we got about 30% of our total Age supply, way to many.
here is the email from IPS sent on Wed.
