Cottage Life SIP Results
On December 2nd, 2013 Cottage Life produced a Special Interest Publication called:  How to Buy a Cottage.  The cover price was $9.99 compared to the regular price of $6.95. That’s a variance of $3.04 or a 44% increase in the price for the SIP.

So, how did it perform? In a word, brilliantly. The issue sold 9,444 units, and generated  $94,346 gross newsstand dollars. The average sale of the regular six issues that year was 6,090 copies, generating $42,326 dollars.

Therefore the SIP sold 55% more copies than the average regular issue, and generated 123% more revenue. No other issue from 2012 to 2015 has sold more copies.

The April 2015 issue of Cottage Life is a beauty.  It went on sale March 9th, and I suspect it will do well too!

I really love the Cottage Life West cover from January 2014, which is a best-seller since Cottage Life West took over from Cottage.
