I run an auto magazine that will soon be releasing it's 9th issue since beginning in January of 08. It's a pocket sized book that is distributed for free. It has been growing, though very slowly. Up until now, we have been selling at or just over what the book costs to print. I do not see a major change to this anytime soon.

Being a photographer, the reason I started my book, I am not the best sales person in the world. I have been looking for ways to generate more sales for the book. I am in a position that makes it difficult to sale. I am not local or national. I am regional. We print 10,000 copies that are distributed to over 200 locations in 5 states. This makes it tough to sell to local or national accounts.

I'm thinking that an independent sales rep may be the answer, but am not sure. I just purchased your directory and will be anxious to see what I may be able to use from the book.
