The visit offered him an opportunity to interact with them and appreciate their challenges as well as reward those who sell more of the only weekly financial newspaper in the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) newspaper stable.
He was accompanied on the visit by the Sales and Circulations Manager of the company, Mr Kwaku Ofosu, and his Deputy, Mr Martin Sarfo Omari.
Mr Okine said the Graphic Business had, within its five years of existence, set a lot of agenda for national discourse and gave an assurance that the paper would continue to offer its cherished readers the best of financial, business and economic news every Tuesday.
He noted: “In our quest to boost the business of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs), we provide a platform in the paper to enable them to tell their stories because we also share in the fact that the private sector is the engine of growth.”
Consequently, he urged players in that sector to reach the paper with information about their business for publication and added that: “you could count on our nationwide reach to get more people across the country to know about your businesses.”
“We also have a dedicated page, Business Life, for the celebration of distinguished business personalities in the country and so I will encourage more of such people in the country to come to us to tell their stories for free to enable others, particularly the youth, to learn from their experiences,” he said.
Mr Okine asked the vendors not to target customers who only subscribed to the paper but display them more often on their stands “to enable those who do not subscribe to also buy and read more about the economy.”
“I also want to assure the general business community that we are open to report more on their activities than we have done in the past so they can always fall on us to do accurate and balanced reportage to help boost their businesses,” he said.
He said the exercise would be extended to other parts of the country in due course.
Mr Ofosu, for his part, told the vendors that the GCGL cherished them and pledged the commitment of the company to do what it took to enable them get more people to get access to all the newspaper brands of Graphic.
