I'm looking for someone out there who compiles back issues of MAGAZINES for niche related interests...

Let's say the Dog World magazine.

I'd like to see the last 5 years of that magazines Advertisements. The idea here is obvious... (find ads that run repeatedly - see the hot buttons the market responds too)


Anyone know a great starting place besides doing the work myself?

    You could try contacting some ad clipping services to see if they maintain magazine back issues and what it would cost for them to go through and compile them all for you...

    but it would probably be much more effective if you went to a library with a stack of back issues and just flipped through the pages so you get a feel for what the magazine has been covered during those past five years and see if there are any pattern changes in the ads/companies advertising based on the changes in the magazine - both seasonal and long term editorial changes.

    Thanks for the reply Shabotte...

    I found a site Bienvenido a Zimio - Avisos Clasificados that lets you look at magazines online exactly what I was looking for. Just have to pay $5.00 per issue.

    My down town des moines iowa library only had the very common magazine titles... bummer...
