Cooperation wanted
For those who regret that the contents of this magazine are in German
language only I would like to point out that I am strongly interested in a
cooperation with a native English collector, publisher or distributor to
establish an English edition of PHOTO Deal magazine. As there is nothing
comparable available in English language except club magazines to which only
the respective members have access I see quite a promising demand for such a
venture.
A possible partner could either be an ambitious collector who is
interested to build up a (new) existence or an editor or publisher of another
photography magazine or publishing company. The entire contents are available
digitally including the photographs which could be exchanged on a CD-ROM, the
layout is done with a Power Mac in Quark XPress. With regard to the huge
number of international collectors may they live in the UK, the USA,
Australia, Asia or whereever English is spoken or at least understood I am
convinced that this magazine has an enormous potential which would make an
interesting business for the cooperating partner regarding the sale of
subscriptions as well as commercial ads.
Any serious suggestions are appreciated. Please contact me by phone (0049-2137-77676) or by eMail. Thank you.
