What is the easiest way to buy a British copy of Elle magazine (ELLE UK) in the United States?

October 31, 2009 - 10:35 pm 3 Comments

I’d like a copy, and I’m not sure which way is the best. Local magazine vendors do not have the foreign issues, clearly.
Also, I don’t need a year round subscription, perhaps just an issue or two.

http://www.crazyaboutmagazines.com are based in the United Kingdom and sell single issues of magazines (including latest issue magazines and back issue magazines)

BENEFIT cosmetic discount codes needed for shopping online?

October 31, 2009 - 10:34 pm 1 Comment

Hey guys and gals, I am trying to earn myself a discount for the wonderful cosmetic brand ‘BENEFIT’, the website is www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk
I purchased some stuff yesterday from there and got a free makeup bag, and in a separate transaction used my more magazine discount codes which were ‘MOREDELI’ for free delivery and ‘MOREOFFR’ for 15% discount. I tried using the same discount codes again today but they’re not working for me, I think it’s because I have used them once already. Anyone know any others I can use? Or even a website where I can buy it cheaper (other than ebay)? Thanks :-)

How are the job prospects for a fashion magazine editor?

October 31, 2009 - 10:34 pm 1 Comment

For our career planning project we are doing a project about what we want to be when we grow up. And I want to be a fashion magazine editor. But, I need to know how the job prospects are… Have any ideas?

Well we publish Http://www.e-styling.info and would love to share some information with you on what the job details are. Technically the prospect of editor does not just fall on the shoulders of journalistic prowess, its a job for a candidate that not only picks the best content available but understands the appeal of the product the magazine writes about. In terms of becoming an actual magazine editor the window is very small and not many people will get such an honor in their lifetime. It requires years of dedication that most people just aren’t willing to put into it, see the story of Anna Wintour.

How do I get a pet product featured in a magazine?

October 31, 2009 - 10:34 pm 1 Comment

I have a pet product that I think many magazines would be interested in for their magazines (we are not interested in paid advertising at this point). This is a large product, so it is hard to send out samples to magazines. How can we get a magazine to feature our product, and also will they take their own pictures of the product or use images that we send them?

You’re going to have to be choosy, but you will need to send samples for the magazine to review. Magazines only profit by selling advertising- a story in essence would be free advertising and unless there is some angle that can be worked, an editor is not going to give the go-ahead on a product story with no interesting qualities. For example, if you had invented and marketed a new dog collar that keeps the dog from barking without electric shock or anything uncomfortable or painful and had trainers using it, you might be able to sell a story, however, if your product was just smaller than existing models, there is no story there.

Entertainment or Women’s type Magazine in Arabic language for subscription in USA?

October 31, 2009 - 10:34 pm 1 Comment

I am looking for a magazine subscription (print copy, not an online magazine), in Arabic. Something that would include entertainment news, women’s issues, fashion, etc. would be great. Published either in the USA or abroad are both fine, but I need it sent to me in the United States. Anyone know of any that are available?

there’s ‘zahrat al- khaleej’ زهرة الخليج

and ’sayedaty’ سيدتى

i prefer the formal one, very great hot- topics

i’m sure you find them in the Arabiab grocary stores

there’ll have an address of their headquarters where you can send your subscription; they have a monthly and a year subscription as well. good luck!

What should I do with all my old magazine subscriptions?

October 31, 2009 - 10:34 pm 3 Comments

I have years and years of Cosmpolitan and cooking magazines that I cannot part with. They are great to take along when traveling, the beach, lend to friends if they’re in the hospital, I love looking back at them here and there, you get the idea. I don’t want to toss them but have no idea where to stash these?

What do you do with all your old magazine subscriptions?
…i don’t want to get rid of them…

have a bonfire and invite your friends over. Thats what I would do :) ha ha lol. Actuallly with all my old magazines I make magazine collage art. Its a great way to kill time.

How can I get my products promoted by certain magazines in their colums?

October 31, 2009 - 10:34 pm 2 Comments

HI,
I am just starting out on a small venture of hand made products and I wanted to get my products promoted in magazines. I am interested in small articles that talk about new finds etc. How do we get the attention of those magazines? Do I send them my samples and pray for the best or is there a more sure fire way?

I am talking about magazines like Oprah, Living, etcor any popular lifestayle magazines.

I am guessing that once recommended, these products get great sales.

Getting to the best advertising spots may be difficult try writing reader digest, Im sure they would be happy to help you in your venture.
