"That's because the owners of the newsstands where magazines were sold at the time would often eat up the free gifts privately, and the things we gave away would never reach the hands of customers, so we wasted money and let them take advantage. Sales volume was not affected, so we simply stopped giving away free gifts," explained an editor-in-chief.

"So that's how it is," Lin Huayin nodded, "I was wondering, I saw my classmates always buying magazines, and every time they bought a magazine they would show off what good gifts they got, and everyone was so happy!

But suddenly one day, they stopped giving out anything, and everyone complained for a long time. So this is the reason.

But Director Song, the situation is different now.

Our magazines no longer need to be sold at newsstands. I remember that magazines are now pre-sold online and then shipped directly to readers, right?

So can we go back to our previous practice and give everyone free gifts?"

"Give away gifts? Actually, we are giving them away now. We give away some celebrity postcards or posters in every issue." said another editor.

"Oh, how come I still don't understand after I've been talking for so long?" Lin Huayin waved her hands and sighed.

If you give away business cards to celebrities, aren’t fans the only ones willing to buy them? Who among the ordinary readers would buy something just for a celebrity?

As soon as Ni Rong saw it, she immediately added, "What my artist means is that your magazine can still give out some fashion items that everyone likes and is practical, just like before!" Forget about the celebrity photos!

"This..." Director Song hesitated for a while. He had never thought about this. "But if you want to give away fashion products, you need to go to the factory to make them separately, which is more expensive..."

Seeing that Director Song was still hesitating, Lin Huayin couldn't help but say, "Just look at the fashion magazines in Japan. They give out gifts in every issue. I bought one last time and they gave me a small makeup bag with an eyebrow pencil and lip balm. These are small things that are very practical for ordinary people. I think they are pretty good."

"This kind? This kind of thing still needs to find a sponsor..."

Director Song was already a little shaken. He felt that Lin Huayin's analysis made sense. It was just that their magazine was already running out of money, and it was not easy to find sponsors...

Lin Huayin immediately smiled and said, "Hey, what a coincidence, isn't it? I'm about to negotiate an endorsement for a skincare product and a beauty line. I can talk to them and try to get them to sponsor our magazine!"

Everyone said in unison: “Huh?”

The director and two editors-in-chief of "Fashion Guava" were all confused.

No, aren’t they here today to talk about this star’s magazine debut?

Why do I seem to be going in the wrong direction now? Something seems to be wrong!

Ni Rong held her forehead with her hand.

She said that this girl might cause trouble, and it turned out that she was waiting here.

The two endorsements haven't been negotiated yet, but you're already thinking about taking advantage of them. Will they agree to that?

Lin Huayin said seriously, "Since I entered the circle, I have never allowed my fans to sign in for me or do data rankings. Instead of wasting precious time on these nonsense things every day, it is better to work and study hard.

As an actor, the most important thing for me is to produce more and better works, so that I can speak with confidence! Instead of relying on sucking the blood of fans to promote myself.

The same thing happened with this magazine shoot.

I don't want my fans to spend dozens of dollars just to buy a magazine with my photo, and then buy a lot of waste paper to pile up at home in order to increase my sales.

At the very least I hope that there will be some practical products given away along with the magazine.

At least not less than what they paid for the magazine.

This way they won't gain nothing.

"So," Lin Huayin sat up straight and looked seriously at Director Song opposite her, "If I shoot the first issue of your magazine for the first time, can you agree to give away samples of skin care products and cosmetics along with the magazine?

And we have to ensure that these samples can be securely sealed in the magazine and delivered to readers intact?"

Director Song pondered and said, “It takes a certain craft to seal the gifts. I can go to the packaging company to discuss it. It’s not a big problem.

But where can I get this little sample...

You know, our magazine is in a bad state nowadays, I am afraid we don’t have enough money to buy samples… the cost is too high!”

If they fail to sell enough products by then, their losses will be even greater, and the risk is really too great.
