Newsagents win the hearts of footy fans

Two newsagents have won over local footy fans with their own online Footy Tipping Competitions. Sunbury Newsagency and Campbell's Newsagencies websites are always active and interesting sites reflecting the customer loyalty these newsagents generate. Now this is even more so with tippers visiting each week and keeping up to date with the special offers and promotions available at their local newsagency.

What's News? at Nextra Sunbury Newsagency

On the Nextra Sunbury Newsagency site, footy tipping helps to further promote the always up to date and regularly visited "What's News?" section. All of the latest competition winners are announced in "What's News?" making it the ideal place to also share the current special offers and promotions on offer at Nextra Sunbury Newsagency. With over 300 footy tippers participating in the competition there's sure to be even more activity on "What's News?" building on the great relationship this newsagent has with the people of Sunbury.



Building on the great customer loyalty of many years for this family owned newsagency, Jenny Carland has used the website to extend the relationship with customers into the current day and the online environment. As the competition got underway Jenny's comments were, "The staff are very excited about the tipping competition. I am so pleased I did it, its’ created a real buzz around the store."

Campbell's Newsagencies Club Card


Footy Tipping on the Campbell's Newsagencies site is helping to drive membership to Club Card where among other rewards members can join the second chance draw which offers a jackpotting SA Lotteries Maxipick ticket each week. Customers can find the winning card number for the second chance draw either in store or online. Customers may also sign up online to join Card Club and view recent e-mail newsletters. This site is a great example of how newsagents can bring online and offline promotions together to build on customer loyalty.



Alf Spronk of Campbell's Newsagencies has used the Club Card and e-mail newsletters to help maintain customer loyalty throughout their shopping centre re-development. With a number of updates completed and footy tipping up and running Alf commented, "In all seriousness I don't cease to be amazed by your service - always prompt and always smiling. If you ever have any potential customers who need to be convinced that Peter gives great service give them my contact no."


With footy tipping already considered a great success by these newsagents we'll be sure to be giving all Newsagent's Club-Web members the opportunity to participate for the 2010 AFL & NRL season. While that's quite a way off there is still lots of promotional opportunities with Easter, Mother's Day, End of Financial Year, Father's Day, Christmas and Back to School all to pass by before the next footy season.

People are finding your business on the internet, do you like what they see?

Every day every newsagent is displaying their business online through internet search results. Every day thousands of internet searches take place for information about newsagents. How is your business being presented? While you are unable to control how people search for information about your business you are able to control what they find and how your business is presented.

What people find when searching for information about their newsagent varies widely across the industry. For newsagents without a website basic listings on local community and business directories will appear in search results. While these listings can often be expanded to include additional information they normally contain only basic information such as address and telephone number. Compare this type of listing to search results for newsagents such as Sunbury Newsagency, Patterson Road Tatts, News & Post and any of the other newsagents you will find listed on http://www.new-web.com.au/. To see how your business is presented simply try some typical searches that people may use to find information about your newsagency. As an example, a list of 361 keywords may be viewed by clicking here. These are the actual keywords that have been used by hundreds of people who have found the Patterson Road Tatts, News & Post website through internet searches.


There are a number of options available to newsagents to ensure their business is presented as professionally online as it is within their store.

YourNewsagent.com.au - Visitors to YourNewsagent.com.au are able to: find information about the products and services offered by their local newsagent; view their local newsagent's special promotions and community notice board; pay their customer account online; arrange to stop / start newspaper deliveries; and readily find location and contact details for their local newsagent. Each newsagent's page will cater for the varying needs of newsagents and their customer base, including the varying features required for distribution only newsagents and retail only newsagents. Examples: Clayton Newsagency, Clayton, VIC, 3168 newsXpress Scott's Lismore, Lismore, NSW, 2480 Camp Hill News, Camp Hill, QLD, 4152 Poomundi News Kununurra, WA, 6743 Manfield Newsagency, McLaren Vale, SA, 5171 Roses Newsagency, Scottsdale, TAS, 7260 newsXpress Parap, Parap, NT, 0820 newsXpress Woden, Woden, ACT, 2606 For more information visit: www.new-web.com.au/yournewsagent.jsp

The ABC Centre and Valley Officesmart feature on the Morwell Newpower Centre site.

The Kooringal Newsagency site includes up to date NSW Lotteries information including the Jackpots Board and Superdraw information.

Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

We will be taking a short break over Christmas and New Years, closing from Christmas Day and returning on Monday 5th January.

For any urgent matters during this time please contact me on 0431 156 767.

We hope you have an enjoyable festive season and look forward to working with you in the new year.

Merry Christmas, Peter

It's Christmas trading for newsagents like never before . . .

This Christmas trading season is like no other before with many newsagents providing their customers with access to their Christmas promotions to be viewed any time of the day or night. Here's a glance at just some examples . . .

Newspower Christmas Catalogue

The Newspower Christmas Catalogue is now prominently displayed on Newsagent's New-Web-Sites and newsagent's sites on YourNewsagent.com.au. You'll find the catalogue on display at www.yournewsagent.com.au/mclarenvale, http://www.campbellsnews.com.au/ and http://www.millicentnewsagency.com.au/.

A Timely Launch for Nextra Sunbury & Nextra Mornington

Two new Nextra sites are making the most of the excitement of the launch of their sites to promote their Christmas offerings.

Nextra Mornington Newsagency entered the online world this month just in time for the Christmas trading season. A busy trading season is ahead for the ABC Centre within Nextra Mornington and all the great gift ideas that are packed into the ABC Centre Christmas Catalogue are now accessible to anyone, anywhere at anytime from the Nextra Mornington website.

The site at http://www.morningtonnewsagency.com.au/ also features the wide range of newsagency and lottery products and services including the store's ABC Centre, Canson Creative Art Centre & Darrell Lea Confectionery.


Nextra Sunbury Newsagency was released to the online world recently and offers customers a wealth of information about Nextra Sunbury Newsagency and the Sunbury Community. In addition to all the regular Newsagent's New-Web-Site features the site at http://www.sunburynewsagency.com.au/ includes an enhanced messages section that includes What's News?, Community Corner & Geyer's Gold Card Club which are all being actively used to reflect this newsagency's involvement in the local community.

In the "What's News?" section you will see how Jenny Carland of Nextra Sunbury Newsagency is working to keep customers up to date with the Christmas offerings.

Here's what Jenny has to say about the development of the Nextra Sunbury Newsagency site:

" Thank you. I wanted to contact you to tell you how happy I am, and what a pleasure it has been to work with Peter.
I know I am fussy about things and like things to be just right and as a result kept worrying that I was being a nuisance, but nothing was a bother and as a result I am just thrilled that the site looks even better than I imagined possible.
I wrote to Peter thanking him last night saying that it just looks so simple… but I know how much work went into it…and that’s the secret. It’s simple and easy for people to use, but so professional.
I will be telling everyone, I already am. I wish you every success in your business, you do it all so well.
Thanks again
Jenny "
