does anyone know how to find a list of magazines yhat accept a per inquiry or per order arrangement for an ad?
Im trying to sell a cookbook-and have a very limited budget-looking for the best way to get advertising in magazines for cheap-i heard that some will advertise for free if you dropship the orderds for them-and give them a cut-any idea how to find these magazines-i have not had a great response emailing some large magazines directly–thanks for any help
You are not going to find too many magazines that will let you in without a contract. Reason being, their ad layout dept. has to have the ad laid out a month ahead of time, meaning they have to know what to put in even BEFORE that. What I would suggest is calling some of these magazines and coming to an agreement where they will call you for "dropped" space at a discount. If you could have your ad ready at a minutes notice, they will work with you. I worked with the local newspaper for this…my rep always called me first on the dropped space and offered Sunday ads to me at 1/3 of the price. Another thing to do is create a glossy flyer and pay to have it "blown in" to the paper. You can usually choose your distribution area. (for instance, if the south end of town is nothing but college students, you may not want to waste your distribution there)
