Have you been oversupplied Home+

magshplusoversupDespite a poor sell through and plenty of returns, Bauer Media increased supply of Homes+ by a small amount, wasting our time, space and cash. What a waste. There is no excuse for supply creep – increases by small steps.

    and more on still they come…WF titles from Bauer. Should be WTF. Too small don’t sell on extended terms and then reissued with normal terms and still don’t sell.

    Mark, we sold 13 first issue, then 8, 3, 1, 2 and 4 with current issue.. It looks like it maybe bi-monthly now?. We received 19 for the current issue. Our previous 5 month average is 5.4 sold. This is including its launch, were several customers bought it to ‘have a look’. Why did we recieve 19? With declining sales.. I would have expected 10 to 12. Can you tell me in your travels, do you get a chance to ‘talk numbers’ with publishers? Do they ‘just let Network do their thing’, or are these, over supplies, in our eyes, acceptable by the publishers.. part of the way it’s always been done.
