Hints and Tips for Success
There are lots of things that you can do to help the newspaper and magazine category perform at its best in your store. Here’s our step-by-step checklist to make sure you’re maximising sales.

It sounds obvious, but, if you have an outside stand, is it clean and not damaged? Does it look inviting to customers? Does it display your newspapers at their best? If your stand is inside, can customers easily see the newspaper headlines? Make sure you give them the best chance of picking up a copy. Displays at the entrance or near the tills are proven to sell more copies.
Make sure you have the right range for your store. Yes, you will need the top national sellers, but there will be titles local to you and your area that you should look to stock. You should also consider stocking collectables as an additional revenue stream. Are you stocking enough kids’ titles or interesting monthlies? Are you stocking new launches and titles that support new trends? Are there any special-interest hobbies popular in your local area? If you are unsure, ask us for a top-sellers list for your area or browse titles available on SNapp.
Make sure your returns are securely tied and labelled. Leave them out daily in a secure location for your driver to collect.
