Yesterday saw the launch of the new Boost Mobile $10 UNLTD offer on Pre-Paid. This offer is targeted towards the youth market, that traditionally use low-denomination recharge as a short term fix until they earn or receive pocket money for their next recharge.
But I also see this as a great product for tourists, who are only in Australia for a week or two at a time. The unlimited calls and txt allow them access to make bookings and call other people they are traveling with and the unlimited access to facebook, twitter and 500MB of data is enough to communicate with family and friends back home, thru status updates and photos on facebook, tweets on twitter and skype video calls, which are all things I like to do when travelling (apart from the tweets).
Boost $10 UNLTD
-UNLIMITED TALK (to any standard national number excluding Pivotel)
-UNLIMITED VOICEMAIL (both deposits and retrievals)
-UNLIMITED TEXT (to any standard national number excluding Pivotel)
-UNLIMITED mobile access to Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, eBay and foursquare
-PLUS 500MB WEB (Data)
...for 5 days when in Australia
*Value expiry in 5 days and is reset on next recharge, no roll over*
There will be some prizes again for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
More people that enter, the better the prizes and entry is free, so if you think you have what it takes, join our comp and invite your staff.
Cassie is the reigning champ after taking out the 2011 comp, but I will be hot on her heels after tasting success in the RWC. Or will there be a new champion?
What opportunities does the impending demise of Dick Smith stores, offer shopping centre based Newsagencies?
With headlines like the ones today on news.com.au “Woolies tipped to put Dick Smith chain in the firing line” and in the Australian “Woolworths to slash Dick Smith by up to 189 stores” what opportunities are there to be had?
Plenty!
Firstly newsagents have a great track record with competing successfully against Dick Smith stores. For many years now newsagents have been known as the place to go for the best priced ink cartridges in the country. This success opens up the opportunity to expand on printer and computer accessories, especially mouses, keyboards and printer cables.
Looking at the Dick Smith online store their cheapest Mouse is $12.95 RRP (after a 35% discount) and standard Keyboard @ $19.95 RRP. Currently Jenlist Distributors give Newsagents the ability to sell mouses (mice) from $9.95 RRP andKeyboards from $14.95 RRP.
The second avenue newsagents compete favourability in is the technology category with Telco. Current results show Jenlist Distributor stores make up approximately 1/5th of all pre-paid activations to the Optus network. This proves that when it comes to Pre-Paid Telco, impulse purchases are the driving force in sales.
With this in mind we introduced the new Optus and Boost Mobile handset dump bin. It now makes sense to display this at the front of the store, to grow those impulse sales.
Once you have a market for Telco products, the next transition is to find the right accessories to offer for the upsell opportunities. With Jenlist Distributors “Sale or Exchange” policy on Telco accessories it’s a no brainer to try out a few items and find the right fit for your customers.CLICK HEREto see our range.
Our Technology offerings are ever changing and expanding to meet the opportunities that show themselves in a changing retail environment.
Are you identifying and taking advantage of these opportunities also?
When Amy left Jenlist Distributors to attend University, Wally was very sad, as the two of them had got along really well.
So when Amy decided to take a trip to Latin America and asked if Wally could join her, we were more that happy to let Wally tag along.
If you want to see some of Wally's Latin America adventures, or see where Wally gets too around Australia, go to our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/jenlist.au
Also let us know where your greatest adventure has taken you or where you are planning to explore.
