A group of newsagents met online on Thursday to discuss magazine management including early returns. It was a practical round table discussion of the processes people follow and how to undertake early returns based on sales data as well as how to set your software to suggest early returns based on recent sales history.
What was interesting was that unlike many magazine discussions, this one was about business and practical steps – without the usual emotion associated with magazine supply.
This meeting was facilitated through my newsagency software company and open to anyone as promoted here.
This was a good exercise, for both myself and a new staff member. Picked up a few tips, would like to see more online discussions.
Unfortunately our Wednesday magazines arrive Thursday morning about 9.30 – 10am so the time was not suitable for me.
Sorry I missed it.
Carol we’ll do more. They’ll have broad appeal – i.e. not software specific.
