distributors, printers, suppliers, advertisers

From
Publishers of and

The Magazine Retail Sales Experience
series of studies

 

John Harrington, a leading authority on magazine distribution and newsstand trends, offers customized seminar programs to those involved in today's volatile magazine business. Publishing professionals from every industry area, as well as publishing suppliers and advertisers, will find these seminars the best way to explore the impact of magazine retail sales on their businesses. Mr. Harrington uses the material from his company's annual series of studies, The Magazine Retail Sales Experience, to examine trends among publishers, wholesalers, and retailers, and to apply these findings to clients' special concerns. The Magazine Retail Sales Experience seminar program is available for full and half-day sessions, and can be modified to meet other time requirements. It can be produced for large audiences, or presented in a more interactive, hands-on fashion for smaller groups.

 

Seminar issues include:

  • The changing profile of magazine sales in the 1990's -- The growth of the business has been in special interest titles. Can it continue?
  • Efficiencies -- the declining rate of sell-throughs -- Why has it happened? Can it be turned around?
  • Cover price increases -- They have not slowed sales. How aggressively can prices be raised?
  • The growing power of retailers -- How is it changing the business?
  • The consolidation of wholesalers -- What is the impact and what are the opportunities?
  • The rise of the title list -- Does it help or hurt? Is there an end in sight?

"The Magazine Retail Sales Experience seminar provided our senior management with an objective, accurate and comprehensive overview of the single copy sales business and the challenges of the distribution channel. Its presentation was expertly done."

"RODALE requested a comprehensive overview of the newsstand marketplace, a market in great flux and at a critical juncture. It was important that all circulators and managers understood the stress in the distribution and sales of periodicals. More than that, the coherent and thoughtful presentation of
The Magazine Retail Sales Experience helped to create a more open dialogue on how to get our magazine into the hands of readers."
