The value of some imported titles

uk-foodtitles.JPGHere are more magazine titles which demonstrate the value of imported titles in the overall magazine range.  These titles are a welcome extension of Australian cooking titles.  They make our food section more interesting that Coles or Safeway.

Magazine distributors need to make it easier for newsagents who want to specialise in a magazine category.  Right now, there are too many hoops to jump through and the results too uncertain.  Give newsagents more control and I think you would see some interesting and competitive specialisation emerge.  I know that I would play more with the mix if distributors engaged with us in a more business like and fair manner.

While we do not sell masses of these food titles, they set us apart from our magazine competitors in the shopping centre and that’s certainly a good thing.

    With today’s shipment from Gotch I have the unrequested and expensive U.S. title “Concealed Carry Handguns”. As far as I know these are illegal in this country. Some customers may be concerned about displays of Zoo and naughty gift-wrap, but what about this title? Who would want to buy it apart from hoods? It won’t be going on my shelves.
