We have been early returning Swank porn magazine to NDD because it did not sell. We expected that supply would be reduced as a result of no sales recorded – trusting the magazine distribution system. Well, not really. Here we are, months on, zero sales and we still receive the title. The NDD system is failing us. I am not against us carrying porn.
My preference for erotica / porn titles is the same as the rest of my newsagency – branded product with a market presence and good promotion to drive interest. Swank is not such a title. I wish we had more control – it’s my money at risk here.
How do you stop any title from NDD????
I’ve had the same thing happen with titles that have NEVER sold and keep being rejected when I try to cancel them.
Even after being happy with have one title stopped, it returned a few months later in full force. A waste of my time and money.
Here’s some stupid/not so stupid ideas on how to stop a NDD title :
*Phone up each month and say the title is missing, untill they get the hint. (Might not work though, they might think you really miss it)
*Report it damaged all the time (Will probably produce the same result as above)
*Send it back via post straight away (Stupid, because that costs the Newsagent more money)
*Cancel your account (100% Guarrenteed way to stop the title. – Unfortunately other good titles get stopped, which isn’t fair to them.)
*NDD listens to Newsagents and adjusts to what we want.
