Alan Centofante's consulting and cover database has helped bring the editorial and circulation teams together in an understanding of what will sell on the newsstand. We utilize the cover database during editorial calendar planning and also throughout the year for inspiration and statistics on cover lines and images.

We are operating in tough times and the cover database helps us make smart cover decisions to maximize our sales, profit and visibility in the market.

Newsstand marketing for a small publication is a daunting task. We have worked with Alan Centofante for two decades because he has given us insights into the cover designs that work, along with strategies to keep us in checkout locations with important retail chains. With his help, we have covers that sell so that we can retain those positions.

We have long admired Alan Centofante’s unique perspective into the industry. Our magazine covers a recovering city that remains rich in culture and lifestyle. With Alan’s expertise we hope to more effectively bring the city’s story to a wider readership. Within the industry, he’s worthy of being a cover story himself.
