Hello Everyone,
We have some great news to share!
KOI USA has been working with a major magazine distributor for several months now to forge a new partnership with national distribution implications.
That time has come: The contract has been signed and starting with our Nov/Dec issue, KOI USA magazine will be distributed in 165 Barnes & Noble locations throughout the United States. If that’s not enough good news in and of itself, KOI USA will also be distributed in newsstands, airports, specialty stores and other name brand stores all across the country. Furthermore, KOI USA has developed a relationship with a gentleman oversees who has expressed his willingness to distribute our magazine in Europe.
For our current and future advertisers out there, this is the best kind of news you could ever want to hear. KOI USA, along with all of your ads and articles, will now be seen by hundreds (if not thousands) of people new to our magazine - with circulation numbers sure to go up! In addition, this deal brings us increased brand recognition (especially throughout the Mid-West and East Coast). Exposure is critical to KOI USA and our advertisers - that’s why we’re so excited about the new marketing arrangement we have finalized.
Some more good news: Our subscribers will now have the opportunity to tell their friends and family members that they can pick up extra copies of KOI USA Magazine at local pet stores or name brand stores in their area. No more having to share their copies! The only down side to this is that they will have to pay retail price instead of getting the discounted subscriber rate. The retail price for our magazine in these stores will be $6.95 (vs. the current AKCA member subscriber rate of $25 per year).
Rest assured that KOI USA will continue to find new ways to develop more national and international exposure for our KOI USA partner’s. So thank you for your continued support of KOI USA!
Sincerely,
Ron Nugent
Advertising Director
