The Big Issue - Distribution & Marketing

DISTRIBUTION

  • There is an open door policy in regards to vendors
  • Vendors buy the magazine for £1.25 sell for £2.50
  • They receive free magazines to begin with
  • Training & support offered to vendors
  • Vendors cannot be: non-homeless, under the influence of drugs or drink or potentially vulnerable on the street, among others.
MARKETING

  • At the forefront of the website is their appeal as the counter point to charity and their ideologies of helping others - banner, flip-through articles at the top
  • They won't use the internet to the same extent as LOOK or Empire because they aren't as reliant, and the magazine's content is kept in the magazine, not online.
