Executive Summary

The Group Publishing, Inc. (Group Publishing) is the publisher of “Artists In Business” magazine. The magazine, which has already printed an initial issue in July/August 1996 is directed at artists at all levels of business throughout the United States. The management of Group Publishing is targeting a total combined circulation of “Artists In Business” of 206,000 in year one, increasing to 310,000 by the end of year three. The magazine will be published bi-monthly with increased press runs throughout the first three years. Sample distribution, organizational sales, and direct mail to targeted lists of artists will be utilized to build subscriptions.

In addition, Group Publishing will market books via direct marketing and through established artist distribution channels. The direct marketing of Group Publishing books will be implemented through its magazine readership base.

Publishing is a high profit and high margin business. The key to success is successful marketing. The Group has a highly focused multi-dimensional sales and marketing plan to build its total circulation base quickly. The same channels and methods were utilized to establish a circulation of 500,000 in the first year for the Visionary Artist’s periodical.

Successful execution of The Group’s plan will produce sales revenues of $3.1 million in year one, $4.8 million in year two, and $6.4 million in year three. Net profit will increase steadily over the next three years.

The highlights of the business plan are illustrated in the following chart. Sales, margins, and net profit increase each year. The lowest margins occur in year one, reflecting the marketing costs of building the circulation base.

1.1 Objectives

1. To raise seed capital of $150,000 to ensure publication by month two and to establish a cash reserve to market subscriptions.
2. To have 90,000 subscribers by the end of year one through direct sampling and marketing.
3. To have an additional 50,000 subscribers by the end of year one through organizational sales.
4. To have 10,000 more two-year subscriptions sold.
5. To publish two 36 page issues initially with press runs of 50,000 promotional copies each.
6. To go to 48 pages by issue number three and increase press runs to 75,000 promotional copies.
7. Increase to 100,000 promotional copies in issues five and six.
8. Increase average ad page cost from $1,819 to $2,618 by the end of the first year.
9. To sell an average of 17.5 ad pages per issue throughout year one.

Our mission is to promote the concept of “community” in the workplace.

How to Sell Magazine Advertising. By

Step 1: Write Your Pitch

When writing a sales pitch, it is important to remember that a pitch is an outline, not a script. It is not designed to be read verbatim, but is intended to serve as an outline for the sales conversation. At the

 beginning of the pitch, make a note to get the name of the person you are speaking with and use it often throughout the conversation. The second thing you should ask is if they have time to visit. Then outline the magazine’s unique features so they will be organized when you are making calls. At the end of the pitch, list a few common objections and the appropriate response. For example, if an advertiser says, “We don’t really have much to spend right now,” your response could highlight your low ad rates or flexible payment terms.

Step 2: Find Potential Advertisers

Making a list of potential advertisers requires a great deal of time. You will want to have a rather large list to book enough ads to fill your publication. Potential advertisers can be found everywhere. Look through competing magazines, websites with similar content, television commercials for products your audience would like, and local event advertising. Put all the contact information for these companies into an Excel sheet or Filemaker Pro database.

Step 3: Start Calling

With your pitch, client list, and any necessary marketing materials in hand, you are ready to start making calls. When you call the company, ask to speak to the person who handles their advertising. Sometimes this

 will be an outside agency and sometimes the person in charge is in-house. Once you are in contact with the right person, ask if they have time to talk so they know you value their time. If they have a few minutes, follow the outline of your pitch by highlighting a few of the magazine’s features. After covering a few points of interest, ask the client about their business. This can develop into a discussion of how the magazine can be beneficial for the client’s business and marketing goals. You will get a better response if you approach your sales call as a consultation rather than a hard sell. Hopefully at the end of the conversation you will have gained a sale. If not, be sure to ask the potential advertiser when a good time to follow up is. Write down the follow up time and be sure to call when you say you will.
