Newsagent Testimonial
Mr Will G of Eastbourne
"We have been acquiring HND businesses during 2010 and we now deliver to around 1500 customers, covering a large area of Eastbourne. Realising the need to change the way we collect money from our customers, we approached Stefan last Summer (2010) with the idea of setting up direct debits.
He showed us the direct debit system to which we have converted many of our customers to this method of payment. The advantages of using direct debit is that it puts us, the newsagent, in total control of when money is collected from the customer.
Initially we contacted around 1000 of our customers – many of which were already asking to pay via direct debit. We had 700 replies of which 500 wanted to use direct debit.
The online system is so easy to use – we just decide with our customers when to collect and how much and we just press a button. The money is in our bank account within the week. Once past the initial set-up, it is simple and cost effective. Outstanding debt is reducing and we are now further encouraged to continue to grow our HND operation.
Direct debit is the future of Home News Delivery - especially considering that cheques are most likely to discontinue."
