Newsagents might want to check their supply of the British edition of Glamour magazine. Click on the image to see how our supply from Gordon and Gotch has been all over the place with little impact on sales. We sell one copy of Glamour if we are lucky. Gotch has supplied 4 copies, then 2, then 1 and now back to 4. There is no justification in the sales data for them supplying 4 copies. It makes me wonder if they have more stock than they know what to do with and would prefer to have us act as the warehouse rather than them.
If the Gordon and Gotch magazine supply system worked as they claimed we would not receive four copies of Glamour.
I plan to continue to publish details of oversupply like this to provide a record of distributors disrespecting newsagents and to document to other publishers why newsagents may not be behaving as they expect in terms of their titles.
