This past week I have been at the Gold Coast at the Australian Newsagents Federation Annual Conference. Good and bad were my observation on how Newsagents must learn to be proactive and involve their Newsagency with the Internet. It was obvious that in the future Newsagencies are not going to be around if they think that they can continue to profit from their business by relying on Newspapers and magazines sales. It was quoted at the Newsagency Conference that in the top 10 Magazines only one magazines had an increase.
By the end of next week, I intend to have a shopping cart attached to the website where people and companies can shop for stationery on line and have it home delivered for free.
Next week I am awaiting my supplies and brochures for the Mid Yera Stationery Sale. My predecessor never sent brochures out to customes, so I am looking forward to the response I get from the brocures that I send out.
