Through strategic placement, day-time delivery and careful monitoring of copies collected, we have set a standard that is unique in the Adelaide market. We deliver directly into stores during business hours, removing any old copies and tidying the site (which our outlets certainly appreciate) We don't drop bundles of magazines on doorsteps and run.
Passing Out's high quality distribution and consulting for our publishers provides ongoing, valuable market feedback alerting them to market trends and changes to any readership take-up rates. Databases are updated weekly.
All of our publishers expect in excess of 90% of their copies to be read and taken. We achieve minimum wastage by counting returns, determining what every site needs and adjusting the delivery number accordingly.
As Street press publications are given away, they rely on advertising for their existence. Maximizing readership is the key, integral role entrusted to Passing Out to maximize the success of street press publisher campaigns. Half-read publications with cheap distribution models wont keep advertisers for long.
