Thrift Pays: All You Hikes Circulation Guarantee by Another 200,000 Copies

Magazines' paid circulation continues to suffer from a plodding economy and proliferating competition, but All You, a title devoted to thrifty living, is growing again.

Next January All You will raise the paid circulation guarantee it gives advertisers by 15.4%, to 1.5 million from 1.3 million, the magazine said. That follows a 6.1% increase in July and a 16.7% increase in January.

All You, part of Time Inc., seems to be benefiting from interest in its editorial mission. While magazines' newsstand sales sank 9.2% from the first half of last year to the first half of 2010, All You -- whose only newsstands are in Walmart -- saw single-copy sales grow 8.9%, according to publishers' reports with the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
