Delivering the Ideal Solution

In The SA Business Journal section of Tuesday's Advertiser (page 44 23/9/2008) this week there is an article profiling Somerton Park Newsagency. Its not on Adelaidenow that I could find so I can't link to the article.

The brief article seems to paint a pretty positive picture of a Distribution Newsagency, especially as it seems to be saying they only work three and a half hours a day. To me it grossly simplifies the duties of a Distribution Newsagency, I guess this gives us a pretty good picture of what ANPL thinks an Agency does and what they are worth.

There are three more profiles to come in following weeks in the SA Business Journal. This is something ANPL has offered to do to help raise the profile of Newsagencies, especially Distribution Newsagencies as they are proving hard to sell at the moment. To come will be a profile on a multi-round Agency, a third generation Newsagent and one more. This was discussed at the MEPC Distribution meeting in August.

It is a good plan, and something positive on offer from ANPL. The article though is quite light, and misleading.
