We received four copies of SugarCraft magazine a few days ago and have already sold three. The last issue sold out in two weeks. The success of this title is an indicator of interest in all things baking, something I doubt will decline for some time yet given the new cooking shows announced for Tv next year.
SugarCraft is a terrific title for people serious about cake decorating. I’m glad we have it as it reinforces our magazine specialist status in a category that is important to us.
So, amid all the hubbub from newsagents about margin and supply, here is a title off of which I am making a good financial return – both from its sales and from related business thanks to the cred the title provides the newsagency.
Mark you recieved 4 copies and i assume your newsagency has very large magazine sales . My newsgency is just a small country newsagency with sales to suit . I recieved 9 , maybe they worked this out from previous sales but that would make no sence either because i recieved 9 last issue as well and had not one sale . This issue i still have not sold one ,lets see what they can work out with my data on the next issue . Being a new magazine i am more than happy to give it a go for at least 3 issues but come on at least have a look at previos data …..
Shaun we have large sales in some categories and small sales in others. If Cake decorating has done well for you put it next to that.
Shaun we are a small newsagency also we receive 12 the first time sold one and receive 12 again.
Mark we only sell one of Cake decorating.
There is only so many magazines you can promote.
Still try to sell my 53 receipt+ sold 7 so far
