Finding the contacts for Holiday Gift Guides
2019/06/12 6:00 AM
The big question seems to be – How do you know what they are working on? Editors usually work on a calendar schedule and know what is coming up at least a few months in advance. If you can get up the courage, try to get them (or their assistant) on the phone or via email, then you can ask what they are working on. They should be willing to tell you as they need story material and always want something new.You can find media calendars on the websites for each publisher – here are a few links to help you get started:
http://www.condenast.com/brands Select magazine and media kit – most have editorial calendars.
http://www.hearst.com/magazines/index.php – select magazine on left and then select media kit. Some have editorial calendars and others you have to look at the advertising calendar.
https://www.meredith.com/national-media/brands most have editorial calendars.
Remember – print magazines work very far in advance. They may start working on the holiday gift guides as early as late June – or at least gathering items to show to their boss. Final decisions are usually made later on and some space is usually reserved for last minute HOT items that they want to add in.
So what are you waiting for? Jump on it now and see what you can make happen!

Oh So Fitting
"20px" /> the website looks great. I am so… 
I know it can be hard to keep up. Believe me, I know. But I can tell you from experience, that being organized and having a checklist is one way to start tackling the hard stuff. What I like about a list, is that when I get a brain freeze and don’t know what I should do that day, I can get some ideas from my task list and see what I can wrap my thoughts around and actually get something done, rather than sit there wondering……. yes sometimes sitting there is the best thing on the menu, but I bet you’ll feel more full if you take charge and get ahead.![]()

Magazine editors are always looking for the next HOT thing. It’s your job to keep them looking at your products. Use different subject lines to entice them to open your emails. Share different ways to use your products, wear them, share how they smell or how they improve your skin etc..![]()
