'The Australian' Requests for Expressions of Interest
Australian Newsagents’ Federation Ltd
The newsagency channel is a cornerstone of Australian retailing, servicing nearly every town and suburb in Australia. Newsagents make up the largest group of independent retailers in Australia, with industry turnover of $7 billion per annum. Newsagents are one of the most frequently visited retailers in Australia - more than half the population over the age of 18 visits a newsagency weekly.
Newsagents’ core products include newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, stationery, lottery products and an increasing range of electronic and service based products such as bill payment, phone card recharge and Western Union money transfer services. Newsagents possess the unique blend of excellent community profile and high customer visitation, making them ideal retailers for the successful distribution of a wide range of products and services.
The Australian Newsagents’ Federation Ltd (ANF) is the peak national industry body representing the interests of over 2,000 member newsagents. The ANF operates under the nationally recognised ‘N’ brand, which is currently being rebranded and scheduled to be relaunched nationally in May 2008.
The ANF is looking to establish long term partnerships with organisations that have commercial products or services that may be offered to newsagents, or to Australian consumers via the newsagency channel.
Parties are invited to submit an Expression of Interest by 30 June 2008. For further industry information that may assist in the preparation of a proposal please contact Cathie Trezona, Commercial Manager, at cathie@anf.net.au or on 0403 205 115.
