PUBLISHER'S LETTER
The MeasuresOf Success
There are a lot of different ways to measure success. Obviously, in
business, the bottom line is sales. Start-up publications face an
uphill battle, especially in adult interest magazines because the
saturation of the market is so high. There are just so many men's
magazines vying for the same audience that usually only established
publications can win a piece of the pie. A large percentage of startup
publications die after the first couple- of issues, making survival of
a new magazine very rare. Even rarer is a new men's magazine that has
paid subscriptions because most readers won't subscribe to a new
magazine until they have seen a few issues of it. This is why we at
Plumpers and Big Women feel especially lucky. We have not only
survived, but have enjoyed an unheard of increase in paid
subscriptions. Before PBW ever hit the market there were close to 1,000
paid subscriptions. Since then the number has almost tripled.
Another way to judge success is by the number of imitators who follow.
There have been a lot of magazines that have brought us the beauty of
the bountiful body and we are not the first to dedicate an entire
magazine to the plumper format. But we feel that PBW has taken plumper
magazines to a new level. While some others were busy degrading big
women in their copy and making fun of large ladies, we set out to show
that plumpers are just as glamorous and sexy as other types of women.
And if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then we must have
succeeded. At least two other men's magazines are currently planning to
publish magazines with styles similar to Plumpers and Big Women. One of
these copycat publications is being headed by former Dugent editor John
Fox. Of course, borrowing a format is nothing new to Fox. He originally
left Dugent to start a magazine that, like our sister publication GENT,
is dedicated to big-busted women. John's next publishing inspiration
will probably be a magazine dedicated to black women. Sorry, John, but
Dugent beat you to the punch there as well with the publication of
Sugah.
While the number of sales and imitators are in constant flux, one thing
which hasn't changed is the support and interest we have received from
the readers. We were overwhelmed by the response to our vote for the
favorite cover (which, by the way, ended in a three-way tie). And the
mail has been just as plentiful and positive. All of this leads us to
believe that the best barometer of our success is our wonderful
relationship with our readers.
