I actually feel sorry for my local newsagent...

They offer daily paper delivery etc, and are struggling. They are honest about this, and they not have much longer to go in the Biz... They simply are not making the cash.

So, in order to try and support them, I order a monthly magazine. I 'could' buy it elsewhere, but I choose to order through them, so they can benefit from it. Its only £4.99 a month, but every little helps...

Yet when it arrives, not only does the magazine have about 3 printed pages that offer me a discount if I buy direct, they also have 2 printed inserts that encourage me to purchase from them.

If I buy it direct, they will give me 3 issues for a pound, and then give me 25% off the rest of the year - And deliver for free...

So i think its a shame that they themselves are trying to eliminate their own distribution network (The Newsagents) and in the process, take LESS money than they would via the newsagents.

Weird...

When it comes in the post it will be stuffed full of leaflets for other things that they are effectively an affiliate for.

they need to revert back to the old days.. selling individual fags for schoolchildren. The newsagent at the top of my road used to make a fortune.

All magazines always offer massive discount for subscriptions. This is because the publishers prefer to have money in the bank for 12 months ahead rather than hope they will get money from newsstand sales.

It's nothing new.

And both newsstand and subs get the same loose inserts.

This brings me back... my first job, at age 13, was a morning newspaper delivery round before I went to school.

The local Ice-Cream Van is the place for single fags today
