The ad sales platform that thinks in issues, not just dates
Generic CRMs were built for quarterly sales cycles. Your business runs on closing dates, ad sizes, rate cards, and tearsheets. Magazine Manager was engineered from the ground up for exactly how print publishing works.
The problems every print publisher knows
These aren’t edge cases. They’re what your team deals with every single issue cycle.
Closing dates buried in spreadsheets
Your team tracks closing dates, material deadlines, and issue ship dates across multiple spreadsheets and email threads — and something falls through the cracks every cycle.
Rate cards that don’t fit in your CRM
Full page, half page, quarter, spreads, back cover, inside front, ROP, B&W, 2-color, 4-color, bleed, frequency discounts, agency commissions — Salesforce has no idea what any of this means.
Manual tearsheets and co-op chaos
Co-op advertisers need proof the ad ran. Your team pulls tearsheets manually, emails them individually, tracks agency commissions in separate spreadsheets, and re-invoices retailers — every issue.
Your pipeline organized the way print actually works
Most CRMs organize deals by date range or quarter. The Magazine Manager organizes by issue — because that’s how you sell. Every deal, contact, and advertiser is tied to the issues they run in, with closing dates and material deadlines front and center.
- See every open ad opportunity per issue at a glance
- Closing date alerts auto-fire to reps before deadlines pass
- Track ad inventory by page, position, and size — in real time
- Carry advertiser history forward issue-to-issue automatically
- Set advance booking periods and see fill rate by issue
- Manage multiple publications in a single login
Every rate, position, and discount — built right in
Stop copying rates out of a PDF and into an invoice by hand. Magazine Manager stores your complete print rate card — every size, position, color surcharge, and frequency discount — and applies it automatically when you place an order.
- Full page, half page, quarter, spreads, inserts — all ad sizes configured natively
- Premium position pricing (back cover, IFC, IBC) handled separately
- Frequency discounts calculated automatically at booking
- Agency commissions (standard, co-op, house) applied per advertiser
- Multiple rate cards across multiple publications
- Rate card version history — see what you charged and when
Built for the full print ad sales cycle
From the first sales call to the tearsheet in the mail — every step handled in one place.
Tearsheet Delivery
Send digital tearsheets directly from the platform the moment the issue closes. Track delivery and confirmation per advertiser automatically.
Co-Op Billing
Handle split billing between retailers and manufacturers natively. Track co-op documentation, approval status, and reimbursement — no manual spreadsheets.
Closing Date Alerts
Automated reminders fire to reps and advertisers as closing dates approach — 30 days, 14 days, 7 days, final call. No deadline is missed silently.
Production Workflow
Track ad materials from booking to art received to approved to press-ready. Designers, reps, and production staff see exactly where every piece stands.
Renewal Automation
Automatic renewal reminders sent to advertisers before their annual or seasonal contracts expire. Track renewal status per advertiser per issue.
Issue Revenue Reporting
Revenue by issue, by rep, by ad size, by advertiser category. Compare this issue to the same issue last year. See pacing in real time — without exporting to Excel.
From first call to printed tearsheet — in one platform
Every step of the print ad sales cycle tracked and coordinated in Magazine Manager
Print publishers who made the switch
“Their latest feature released, the ability to email digital tear sheets, just SAVED ME over $9,000 a year by not having to buy stamps, envelopes, paper, toner for my printer and pay a staff member to sit there stuffing envelopes with invoices and tear sheets. Thank you Mirabel!”
