Grand Designs Australia magazine launched yesterday. This title lives up to the expectations of fans of the TV show and packages the projects and stories in a magazine format which, I predict, will see the title a hit.
We are supporting Grand Designs Australia with a display at the entrance to the magazine aisle. We are also featuring it at the counter indicating it as the launch issue – offering customers a reason to take a look at the title.
We have other plans for the title through the on-sale to make sure that we achieve the best sales result possible for the title. In addition to this, we have the title located with home and living titles.
This launch is a wonderful opportunity for newsagents. Get behind this title.
I hope that newsagents have not early returned the title.
i hope this is a good seller as well. great work getting it out early in the billing month…. why not give it a try, and if space is a concern, dump a title you dont sell enough of to make room.
i wish more mags came out early in the month
WE RECEIVED A HEAP OF ADVERTISING AND ONLY RECEIVED 10 COPIES OF THIS MAG, SOLD 9 ON THE FIRST DAY. I WOULD OF THOUGHT I WOULD RECEIVE MORE THEN 10 COPIES CONSIDERING IT BEING A NEW LAUNCH
Order more. I think you will find supply was set by the publisher not wanting to be accused of oversupplying.
Mark from Universal Magazines here, Publishers of Grand Designs Australia.

I prepaid a subscription last year at the Grand Designs show and am yet to receive a copy! Not happy. Subscribers are supposed to receive the mag before it goes on sale in the shop.
Yes Mark I should have mentioned the delayed billing.
Customers are loving the title!
Mark F, we have provided it with high exposure with titles such as House & Garden, SA Life and Vogue Living. Mark D feedback from customers has been that they thought it would feel more ‘luxurious’ they thought it it would be on higher weight stock, more like Habitus and Houses, less like BH&G….
Ben – thanks for this feedback which I will pass on to the publisher.We wanted it to be accessible and middle of the road to appeal to a broarder audience of readers.
The content is unique and original.
I can understand that Grand perhaps extends the expectation to something more upmarket but then there is the balance of cost and we wanted it to be a good value offer, over 200 pages for $8.95. It is always a balance.
Network’s website says no more stock available. i’ve sold all my original allocation since 2nd may, could sell plenty more before August.
I’ll chase for you h.
Grand Designs Australia Stock still Available.
There is still stock available from Network Services nationally.
If anyone is having problems ordering please email me direct mdarton@universalmagazines.com.au
