Mail Newspapers has launched a new end-to-end home news delivery (HND) subscription across the UK, which will give independent retailers that offer this service the opportunity to acquire new orders and improve cash flow for Mail HND copies. 

While the service is available for all retailers across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland it is only accessible to users of PaperRound news management system. 

The publisher told Better Retailing the initiative has been designed to assist reader experience and simplify retailers’ administration processes by removing paper vouchers from subscription processes, resulting in improved cashflow.

In order to access the service, retailers will need to employ the PaperRound system and provide details on their delivery area and delivery charges.

The information will be loaded onto the Daily Mail subscription portal and will allow readers to sign up for a home newspaper delivery subscription and choose a retailer from the selected options who service their postcode.
