3) Publishers who are very dissatisfied with current revenue could implement a visionary strategy. Here you seek additional sales to buyers in corporations, associations and in other non-retail segments. There is no distribution system in place, so you must do the selling yourself or find a sales agent to sell for you (example is guy@msgpromo.com). However, most sales are in large, non-returnable quantities and you may be paid in 30 days.
