Newtrade Media has launched a free news and insight app for independent news and convenience retailers.

The publisher behind the trade publications RN, Retail Express, and Better Retailing, launched the app this week as part of Better Retailing’s rebrand.

In addition to the latest news for the independent channel, the app will offer Better Retailing Club members access to features such as the nationwide price comparison tool, Pricewatch, data-led insights and peer-to-peer shop floor advice.

Retailers will be able to stay competitive and improve their margins by comparing what other store owners are charging for more than 350 bestselling products.

The app can be found by searching ‘Better Retailing’ on the App Store and Google Play.

Editor-in-chief, Louise Banham, said: “More than 70% of our news stories are exclusive and sourced with independent retailers’ key interests in mind, so our Better Retailing app will help us keep our audience of store owners informed with the latest news that impacts their businesses, as it happens, with alerts on the latest stories and product trends.”

Newtrade Media’s managing director Parin Gohil added: “Independent store owners are incredibly busy, so we know that the Better Retailing app will help them easily stay ahead of what’s happening in the fast-paced convenience sector, particularly when it comes to legislation and key events that directly impact their businesses.”
