3rd quarter submission

Revised articles

Article revisions

After receiver feedback of my articles I knew what needed to be changed. The Most common piece of feedback I received was that it was hard to tell where new questions of the interview began. To overcome that I bolded and changed the color to a light blue of the written questions to differentiate from the dark color of the text in the rest of the article. The next thing I did was rearrange the pictures to be on the right side and left side of the article for a cleaner and more professional look. I also updated the article pictures from my most recent trip to the Sebastian inlet with my Edward Nicolace. I also added page numbers along with Florida angler brand name at the bottom of the page.

Revised cover

Revised Cover

After the feed back I received on my cover page I realized their were some changes that I needed to make. Many of my peers had issues seeing some of my text. To over come that problem I changed the text to a color that was more visisble in a certain position on the page. Next I added more specific details that would be included on a real magazine. Such as the Month of march and the year so the reader would be able to determine which issue of the magazine they are reading.

Revised Table of Contents

Revised Table of Contents

After receiving feedback from my class mates, my group and I decided to make so changes to make our table of contents lay out more professional and better looking. We chose to add five Photos and place them on the right side. I added our magazine name Florida Angler to the bottom left corner. We all decided on the font ''Lato'' size 30 for the word table of contents, and "Abril Fatface'' for our page numbers.

Distribution plan

My group and I plan to distribute our magazine in many different ways, we decided on using traditional and digital distribution. Our magazine would be sold in fishing stores, book stores, and even local grocery stores, but that is not the only way we will sell our product. Either on our website or our app there would be a section where you can subscribe to the magazine electronically, and have it delivered monthly to your doorstep. Not only are you able to subscribe to our magazine, you can also get the inside scoop or tips and tricks about fishing as well. Also, you are able to receive updates on what is going on in the Florida Angler community.

Distribution post- Florida Sportsman

Florida Sportsman magazine distributes their product in may ways including the traditional plan along with also online sales. As I researched Barnes and Noble along with local fish and tackle stores carried the magazine in store. Barns and Noble also carried copies online. The most common companies that carry the magazine online are Magazines.com and DiscountMags.com.

Distribution post- Florida Sportfishing

       

Florida Sportfishing tends to stay more conservative on the online market. The only place places I found that sells the magazine are Barnes & Noble online along with their own Magazine website where you can subscribe. In the local tackle shop here, I also came across a few copies of the magazine.

Distribution post

Most companies use the traditional distribution model which includes the Producer, the retailers, and the wholesaler. Usually the producer will sell the products to the wholesaler then the wholesaler will sell it to the retailers who then sell it to customers. In other instances companies that sell magazines will take action into their own hands and set up locations such as a tent at events to directly sell to their community. We would most like utilize both of these strategies because selling to the wholesaler sell more product in bulk, but selling directly to the buyer makes a name for the brand.
