No more Simpsons thanks

simpsons-comics.JPGWe are not making any money from the various Simpsons comic products.  There are too many copies of too many titles.  We are not even covering the cost of the retail space. Despite providing accurate sales data showing the sub 40% sell through rate for the various Simpsons titles, we continue to be grossly oversupplied – as I suspect are most other newsagents.  I am writing to Gordon and Gotch to advise that I will no longer carry this brand.  Since they cannot deliver fair allocation, there is no point in me continue to waste time and money on this. The constant shuffling of space, processing of returns and trying to resolve the oversupply issue is just not worth it.

    Good luck! I cancelled all regular issues a while ago, but they have recently started making a reappearance. The bigger problem is the redistributions either through Gotch or Network due to varying title codes making them impossible to cancel.
