Exclusively for independent retailers, we can offer deferred charges for magazines and seasonal goods to help you maximise your sales potential and manage your cash flow.
Magazines
Magazines represent a lucrative area of the retail market:
- Consumers in the UK spend £2bn a year on magazines
- 80% of all women, and 67% of all men read a consumer magazine
- Magazine buyers spend on average 60% more in store than non-magazine buyers
To help you take advantage of this trend, Menzies Distribution can offer extended payment terms, which means that you effectively pay only for net sales on all your magazine sales
Seasonal goods
Annuals and calendars are also included in our attractive seasonal offer of extended payment terms, allowing you to develop and even extend your range of seasonal goods in order to encourage sales at key times of the year.
Home news delivery
Independent newsagents lead the industry on operating home delivery. If you operate a home news delivery service, you will almost certainly be able to benefit from our offer of extended credit. Provided you pay by direct debit and can provide evidence that at least 25% of your weekly home delivered news/magazine sales are paid for on a monthly basis by customers, Menzies Distribution can offer you extended payment terms.
What do I need to do?
All that we ask in return is that you commit yourself to:
- Accepting promotional allocations for new titles and promotions
- Giving display space to magazines for their entire on-sale period
- Paying your Menzies Distribution invoices by direct debit
