With their large range of products and marketing expertise, nextra™ creates a better environment for both the store and our customers. Being part of nextra™ is like belonging to a family of professionals…

The nextra™ Group is an integral part of our business. They have assisted us immensely in some very difficult lease negotiations…We have also been very fortunate to have the team provide regular product updates and zoom conference calls during a time when we can’t easily view and/or source products oursleves. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the nextra™ team!

The key to surviving in modern retail is to be the best you can be every day and exceed your customers’ expectations.  To do this effectively requires innovation, a desire to learn and improve and a support network.  Being a member of nextra™, engaging with other likeminded members and the suppliers that support the nextra group provides us with the support network we need to make this happen.  From head office leasing support, which I rate as second to none in the country, to the marketing support and the BDM support, nextra™ are there to assist at every stage.  Then there is Laura (BDM), the Energiser Bunny whose eye for detail and merchandising skills help to ease the stress of opening a new shop with the look we wanted to achieve.  Her help and advice was invaluable and was key to the successful re-opening of our renovated store.  Not only is everyone in nextra™ so good at what they do and genuinely interested in making a difference for their members, they are also great people.  Becoming part of the nextra™ family 12 years ago was the best decision we have made to help future proof our business.

With the support of the nextra™ team we had the confidence to make changes that were necessary in our new business. The positive comments from our customers and increased sales are affirmation to how successful our nextra™ partnership is.

I feel that it goes beyond support 9 – 5 like most other groups. (They) all clearly believe in the service they offer and of course provide… (The team) all deserve a pat on the back – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend (the nextra™) services…

The Leasing Industry knowledge together with impressive negotiating skills was exactly what we needed when it was time to negotiate our lease… nextra™ turned our original lease offer around with much better terms. Overall, joining nextra™ was a great business decision!

I have been a member of The nextra™ Group for 12 years, During that period I have negotiated 3 leases. The team at Nextra have heavily involved in supporting me in those lease negotiations. The rea; strength of the nextra team is that they have an intimate Knowledge of all aspects of leasing negotiations across all the various landlords. This Knowledge and experience has helped negotiate the best possible outcomes for nextra Esastland.

There are many reasons to be part of The nextra™ Group. For us, the two major reasons are product choice and networking. nextra™ has created a collection of outstanding suppliers who go the extra mile to support your business… Networking is the other stand out reason to be part of The nextra™ Group. We are in constant contact with other members and head office staff. This enables you to identify market trends and to capitalise on them before they become mainstream. It also creates friendly competition as we strive to improve our bottom line.

Greg was most certainly instrumental in our latest lease negotiation and we apperciated his time and industry knowledge over the course of our lengthy negotiation. The zooms have been great and allows us to check out new products and suppliers.The Product Team is super helpful when we’re looking for something new with advice on suppliers and what’s working around the country.

With the knowledge of industry insight, retail trends and vast lease negotiation experiences, Greg Campbell (CEO of nextra™) has assisted our business to renew lease a couple of times. Despite operating a few newsagency businesses for almost 20 years, either independently run businesses or part of other franchise / marketing group business models, Greg’s capability to negotiate, advise and assist us to navigate through the lease renewal process still amazes and surprises me. Being the largest expense of a business, the lease term is the most significant factor of a brick & mortar retail store. It determines the survival, sustainability and profitability of the business. This experience, added to the extra rebates, supplier benefits and group marketing opportunities that would otherwise be lost to us, our membership is so valuable to our business.
