Distribution
Methods:
We Offer A Five-Tier Distribution Method
1. City Wide 'Branding' Locations:
We can place your publication in as many locations, city wide, as you’d
like (click
here for our coverage map). Price is based on the number of stops.
Categories for delivery locations examples are: Community Centers, Restaurants/Cafes,
Medical Facilities, Retail Locations, Fitness/Exercise Locations and
Financial Institutions, to name a few.
2. Partner to Partner Program (P2P):
These are our own multi-pocket racks. We have many locations that we
believe would benefit your publication and include many locations with
conference/banquet rooms where business and social events are scheduled
daily. These sites are restocked weekly due to heavy traffic.
3. Resort/Hotel Locations:
We can distribute your product to approximately 24 high-end resort/hotel
locations. These locations are at, or near 100% capacity during the
peak season (Oct – Mar).
4. Outer Market Rack Program
We have pockets for rent, for a very nominal fee, in all Albertson's,
Blockbuster's, Fry's, K-Mart's, and Osco Drugs in Casa Grande, Nogales, & Sierra
Vista.
5. Home Delivery:
We can target one or more zip codes each month with a driveway throw.
Price will be determined by the number of pieces we will be throwing.
We have access to a variety of demographic data that we can use to
determine your 'target market'.

Affiliations
National Chains:
We can assist you with displaying your product in locations such as Supermarkets,
Blockbuster, Wal-Mart, etc, in all markets. We will help you find out
the right people to contact, or contact them for you. If you miss one
of their scheduled delivery dates, we can also deliver your product
to these pockets outside of the standard schedule. Contact us for more
information.
Mailing Houses:
We have affiliations with several local mailing companies should you
be interested in doing a mailing.
Printers:
We have developed relationships with printers all over the country. If
you are considering switching printers, we can refer you to any type
of printer you may be looking for ... and show you samples of their
work before you buy!

Receiving & Storage
We have facilities in both Tucson and Phoenix in
which to receive and store your product. We will receive your delivery
vehicle at our warehouse, and off-load it utilizing forklifts
and pallet jacks. We will even coordinate with the shipper and/or
carrier to arrange delivery, if desired. Our facilities are secure,
alarmed and fully insured.
Our storage rates are monthly, and are
based on the number of pallets to be stored and the length of storage.

needs. The unique structure of our business allows for flexibility in
our pricing and it's all within YOUR control! Call for
details, you won't be disappointed!

Problems
vs. Media Solutions
| Your "Problem" |

up too much of my time. |

party verification to support your distribution.

have the time to build.

|
| Your "Problem" |
Our "Solution" |
Delivery
Drivers are
always a struggle. |
- We actually have drivers that have been with us for years!
- We provide enough work that our drivers do delivery full-time,
not as a sideline!
- Our drivers are reliable, dependable, and hard working!
- Expensive classified ads for new drivers ... no longer
your problem!
- We handle all the paperwork, interviews, and 1099’s!
|
| Your "Problem" |
Our "Solution" |
Unloading
the truck is a
lot of work, so I have
"issues" with
Receiving & Storage. |
- We have all the equipment necessary to receive and unload
your delivery vehicle (From a small truck to a huge tractor-trailer!)
- Your truck is met upon arrival, unloaded, and quantities
verified!
- We check sample bundles to verify condition upon arrival.
- There is never a charge to receive your product!
- Our storage fees are very nominal, and are based on quantity
and length of storage
|
| Your "Problem" |
Our "Solution" |
Keeping
it all straight, Routing
all the stops, and Verifying that
the driver actually did the route ...
yeah, it's a problem. |
- We have customized software designed for:
- Efficient Routing
- Fast Delivery
- Supply vs. Demand
- Verification & Routing
- We maintain your database and can provide reporting by
class, quantity and location, as well as other demographics.
- We run "spot checks" on our drivers to verify
accuracy.
- We accept NO excuses from our staff, or our drivers.
|
| Your "Problem" |
Our "Solution" |
We
only need to restock ten locations,
but they're
all over town!. |
- Want restocks but the number of locations are too far
apart, or too few, to warrant a special route?
- Media Solutions solves this problem with our ‘All
Pub Restock’ on specific day.
|
| Your "Problem" |
Our "Solution" |
Everything
costs so much
money, I can't afford a
professional distribution
company, with what I pay
for racks & pockets already! |
- We will deliver to your racks or ours!
- We have pockets to rent for a VERY LOW price!
- Our prices are very nominal, and our pricing structure is very
unique!
- We LOOK for ways to save you money!
