2 The Self Select Service Who Are Self Select? Self Select Distribution offers free newspaper and magazine publishers a cost effective alternative distribution service via the UK leading retail groups. Previously local magazine publishers were gaining access to stores via local agreements with stores. This led to chaos with several racks, styles and empty units. The supermarkets realise that customers clearly enjoy the free magazines and have developed a pay and display system via Self Select Distribution for publishers to utilise approved Self Select Distribution branded display units. All other free display units and magazines have therefore been removed leaving stores clutter free from unofficial displays. Self Select Distribution formed a dedicated distribution organisation to bring a high level of professionalism and quality control into the pick-up distribution market. Distribution outlets, their customers and pick up advertisers all benefit from clean, regularly serviced, branded displays carrying a choice of free titles. The basis of the Self Select Distribution proposition is built upon the fact that the only people who will pick up a copy are those interested in the magazine subject. The selfselection process allows customers to pickup whichever magazine appeals directly to them. They are therefore much more likely to respond to the advertising. By gaining access as a free title via Self Select Distribution publishers can quickly get access to major stores to distribute significant effective quantities to the public in the area. 1 2 Providing a cost effective route to market We secure the outlets We sell the space and distribution service to the publisher on behalf of the stores Supply racking into Stores, maintained and cleaned Satisfying the needs of: READERS.
