Concerns for the 2008 Retail Conference
March 31st, 2008
The 2008 Retail Conference, co-sponsored by the Magazine Publishers of America and the International Periodical Distributors Association, begins today in Tampa. Concerns that are speculated to arise deal with rising cover prices, wholesaler incentives, and the tension between publishers and wholesalers, and a list of other affairs. A survey by the Periodical Book Association of America reveals that the levels of distrust between publishers and wholesalers have been increasing at an alarming rate over the past decade. Hopefully the 2008 Retail Conference can help to smooth over some of the concerns. Folio (Mar. 30, 2008)
