Great read in the headlines

Nineteen year old Queenslander and marketing student, Sarah Risley, who works at Cleveland Newsagency in Brisbane, was given a challenge – how to promote the books selected as the Great Read by The Australian Women’s Weekly?

Sarah Risley set up a fantastic display just inside the front door of Cleveland Newsagency, where customers can check out all the Great Reads in one spot. “Our sales have increased and it’s also saving time when customers come in looking for a Great Read and they’re a bit vague about the title or the name of the author,” says Sarah. “This way they’re not scattered through the shop, but all on one stand.”

Sarah loves reading, so we thought we’d ask her to nominate her favourite Great Read, so far: “My favourite Great Read is Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty. It is hilariously funny and a must read for anyone with sisters, or female friends.

“I particularly love the way this book shows both how the sisters deal with their lives and how the public view the three sisters. It makes you realise how our actions affect other people’s lives in ways we can’t imagine.”

As a further incentive to book and magazine lovers, Cleveland Newsagency plans to offer 10% discount to all customers who purchase an AWW Great Read and a copy of The Australian Women’s Weekly at the same time.
