Traditional Distribution Research #1

Supermarkets like Target, Walmart, Wholefoods, etc. usually have an entire isle dedicated solely to the sale of print media like magazines and such. Classic magazines like the Times and Peoples were distributed like this for years before other methods became available. Even new-gen magazines like food network and Real-Simple use the traditional ways despite having various digital  alternatives because these methods still work.
Door to door distribution is the most conventional method of spreading a product. Monthly subscriptions allow for customers to receive their magazines in the comfort of their homes. This 'door to door' method has always worked since the beginning of media distribution to satisfy readers and draw in new subscribers.
