distribute your
product and why?
Question 3

2. Bauer
When deciding on what type of Media institution might decide to distribute my music
magazine I decided on Bauer as they are one of the biggest conglomerates for
magazines, if not the biggest. The server over 19,000,000 people. One of the most
popular magazines currently out is ‘Q’ and that magazine is published by Bauer so
therefore I feel my magazine would gain a lot of benefits from being published by
Bauer.
Bauer state “Our business is built on millions of personal relationships with engaged
audiences” which shows that this company is very successful in what they do and they
would be able to do a lot for my music magazine.
‘Q’ is a multi-platform brand which is what I want for my magazine so I feel Bauer
wouldn’t have a problem with publishing my magazine.

3. Frontline
Frontline are the largest music magazine distributor in the UK
therefore I feel they would be able to do a lot for my music
magazine. Not to mention they’re also owned by Bauer so if
Bauer was the publisher it would only help having Frontline
as the magazine’s distributor.
Frontline distributes over 100s of magazine titles including
magazines like ‘Q’ and ‘Mojo’ which I feel could help as my
magazine just like ‘Q’ has the idea of a subscription, where
subscribers get extra things for subscribing every month.
