Pitching issue #2 of Art Therapy

IMG_9764We received plenty of issue #2 of the Art Therapy partwork. We sold out of our 160 copies of issue #1. Issue #2 is on the lease line with other colouring titles. It will be expanded today with new titles. With adult colouring titles everywhere, the bubble has to be close to bursting. Be careful.

    Ah to have 60, we got 12, sold them all in a hour, have no confidence that we will have success getting any backorders at all.

    Jess I’m in WA and have been wondering if and when we’d get it seeing supplies so tight. However I just a XIT invoice this morning for a Monday delivery so all is good.

    Your supply of this part work is based on their algorithm, not your influence. I got 100 of part 1 which sold out and plenty of part 2 as well. They allocate based on what their computer says you will sell. I have a part work which is the direct opposite where I am getting more than I want. The system is broke both ways.

    If they had an algorithm that worked we would not get excess magazines and we would have received 100+ Art Therapy – neither happens

    4 new adult colouring books today on top of the bulk oversupply already received from mag publishers. This oversupply is really stressing me out, can anyone suggest an activity which will help me relax and forget my problems for a while?
