The majority of our stores are located in the northeast (New York, MA, CT, NJ, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore). There are also stores in Chicago, Florida and Mississippi). We planogram every store to allow for single facings in nearly every location. When we take in a new title, we confer with the publisher on where that title should be located on the mainline to guarantee that we maximize sales. Every store is instructed where to merchandise this title. The details of the execution are as important as the plan. Follow-up is key to our success. To this end, we have a highly experienced individual who is dedicated to only magazines. Our press manager determines the draws for each title, in every location, each month. The wholesalers are not permitted to add titles, adjust draws, or in any way determine what magazines or quantities our stores receive. Therefore, We control our distribution and authorization list. This assures that your title will have the opportunity to boost its sales in our stores. As a title increases its sales, we monitor and increase the draw. And we do this every month…not once a quarter. By having a person, and not a computer, analyze the sales, we are able to react more quickly and accurately to sales. We have proven that you can increase sales and reduce returns effectively, if you properly manage your business. We do that, and we do it well!
