How can my business benefit from it?
Magazines attract attention. They encourage customers to spend more time and, therefore, more money in your store
Magazines sell BIG in a small space. They deliver higher than average profit per square foot.
Magazines attract loyal readers. They generate repeat sales and trigger countless impulse purchases of other products.
How do I return what I do not sell?
With each magazine order you receive you will also receive a Credit Worksheet (CW) Notice. This indicates which titles are being called off sale and should be returned. It is important that this form be used for all returns. The steps for returns are:
1. Remove all covers from the magazines that are listed on the CW
2. Enter the quantity for return in the appropriate box on the CW
3. Sign and date the CW and attach all matching covers
4. Keep a copy of the CW for your records and send the original to Disticor Direct.
How do I receive my invoices/statements?
Retailers can view and download their invoices online by logging into the Data Centre. They can review their statements and credits 24hrs/day, 7 days/week. They can also easily download their invoices and credit notes into Excel easily and efficiently.
How often is my information updated in the Data Centre?
Since Disticor’s billing system is linked to the Data Centre on our website, Retailers can access the most up to date sales information 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
How can I improve and/or grow my sales?
Disticor’s online Data Centre affords Retailers the opportunity to assess what publications are doing well within their stores both by title and by category.
