Baur  make a large range of magazines. For example T.V, Motorcycle, Music, Garden and Cooking
A "big name" magazine they produce is "GRAZIA" and a niche magazine is "Bird Watching"
Other big names are:

• Heat
• Grazia
• FHM
• MOJO

I dont think i would put my product on their list as there is too much other competition of popular music magazines with a similar genre to mine and this is not creating a wider range for the company.

NME

IPC Media make a large range of magazines. For example Sport, Design, Pornography, Animal and T.V
A "big name" magazine they produce is "NOW" and a niche magazine is "yachting world|"
Other big names are:

• Look
• TeenNow
• Soap Life
• TV Times

I thing they would be interested in adding my magazine to their list of other products as it has a very similar genre to NME and they dont produce any other music magazines, this could give them a bigger and wider range and there will be less competition between magazines.
