Textile fibre forum magazine is an example of an independent magazine which can work for a newsagency. In our case this title has a good sales. Supply quantites are close to what we sell which helps. It its nicely in our arts and crafts category and reinforces our credentials as a magazine specialist. It is a fine balance between being the specialist and drowning is non-viable titles for the sake of it. If I could manage my mix of magazine titles more effectively and be sure that supply is more closely aligned with sales I’d take more independent titles. Independent publishers reading this could consider talking with newsagents and their distributor about such arrangements.
