Launching a title
There are a range of areas a publisher needs to address for a successful launch in to the magazine market. Outside of the magazine content and marketing strategy you may need help in:
- Ensuring national distribution of your title and Smiths News can help in providing further contact details to ensure the opportunity to distribute your title in areas not serviced by ourselves
- Ensuring your title meets industry standard product quality and technical requirements
- Provide key contacts and information to enable planning of the launch, including market data on sales and market trends
- Provide information to support your launch when trying to get the major retailers to stock your title
Launches remain a key part of the magazine market and we continue to launch hundreds of titles each year in to new market niches.
We will try to provide whatever support we can to help you launch a successful magazine in to the market.
