The launch of the three-part MasterChef mook has been odd with little warning for newsagents and little in the way of in-store support. It’s like they don’t expect it to be a success. The supplied quantity is low too. Oh, and a six on-sale with no delayed billing. I’m not sure what they are thinking here in terms of supply to the ‘selected’ newsagents.carrying the title.
we received 7 copies of this book and at the end of the month, which means I kept 2 and early returned the rest.
masterchef is not even on TV at the moment?
Peter it is on tv I watched it last night ,pizza night
Didn’t know about until I read the blog just now.
Ahhh, found it. It down loaded as Homeck which is why I didn’t recall it.
We received plenty of stock and posters, given a good display but only sold 2 so far.
I think this might be a dud as the show is not rating well this season.
We received 135 copies and my husband
was visiting a friend at a nearby Westfield and he received 27. We are just a second
tier shopping centre – a long way from a
westfield so what is the motivation of the
distributor.
Half have been returned.
Cook books aren’t a seller here, but I received 5 copies anyway. I’ve kept all of them because of the TV crossover which seems to work for other titles, but we’re off to a very slow start. I’ve got them on display front and centre to give them the chance to move before the end of the month.
Have just noticed return date is week 52.
I don’t think so!
Is any one getting any sales (over 2) of this or has everyone early returned already?
Not one Jenny, and we had it at front of store in THE MOST PRIME LOCATION we have for the first two weeks. I must say I thought it was going to be an easy one to move…….
That’s where we had it Allan, I’d prefer a magazine, might have sold better. Off to the rubbish bins.
We received 23. Have sold 8.
Has been placed in 3 prime locations (including on the counter) as well as in the cooking section of the mag department.
Sales might be a reflection of struggling ratings.
Sold 1, unless it starts moving which I doubt the rest will be returned before the end of the month.
