I have been thinking about the comments from newsagents on my post on Friday about an alternative billing model for magazines. I know from my work with newsagents for many years that most do not look at their own magazine performance data – data that could have been used by them to address the magazine supply issue. If you want to get an accurate understanding of the performance of magazines i your newsagency run your MPA Magazine Performance Report and or the Magazine Sell Through Rates Report. Both will provide a factual view of the performance of magazines in your newsagents. I’d be happy to discuss reports you produce.
This is so true Mark. I followed your advice to me a few months ago about this report and was surprised at what it showed. Got to cut some titles and increased supply of others. All in all a good report that is making me money.
