What They're Saying About Us

"After a short period of getting up to speed on our complex account, due to the number of titles, I could not ask for more in terms of CSI's energy, dedication and results being generated for the Weider History Group. The successful new direct mail packages, the regression analysis, the extensive modeling, the customer service, the fraud detection, the cross selling, the partnerships and the overall care and commitment to our account exceeds what I could hope for from a vendor. Our account director, Pamela Novik's personal dedication and skill have been most impressive. Please know how appreciative we at WHG are for your commitment and the results you are generating."

Eric Weider
President, The Weider History Group


"It has been my privilege and pleasure to have worked with CSI since 1994 on Worth, Civilization, Equity and The American Benefactor. They have handled our business with the utmost professionalism and honesty. We have benefited greatly from the collective knowledge base at CSI as well as cost savings through their considerable buying power with printers, lettershops, and other key vendors. I have also been impressed with the level of creativity and proactive testing done on our behalf when budgets permitted."

Alison Parks
Chief Operating Officer, Worth Media


"We’ve been with CSI for over 4 years. They have always put forth 100% effort and delivered excellent results. I have found them to be honest, professional and have enjoyed working with them. They treat me more like family than just a client. CSI can handle all our circulation management requirements, from strategy and budgeting, to promotion and fulfillment oversight. A true turnkey service. And we get a level of experience and expertise that we could never afford to have on staff. I think they are a tremendous resource for any small magazine publisher and would recommend them without reservation. "

Peter Wild
Publisher, Spirituality & Health


"Bringing CSI on board was like hiring an entire circulation department but with the added bonus of having the contacts and clout of a large publisher. Without question BBC Music Magazine has benefited from CSI's stature, expertise, and good common sense and my only wish would be to have found and hired them sooner."

Christopher Payton
Associate Publisher, BBC Music Magazine


"I'm convinced that more and more magazines will be outsourcing certain functions as time goes by. Smaller companies may be much better off with the expertise and professionalism of a company like CSI than maintaining their own circulation department. We have worked with Greg Wolfe and his team for more than two years and I feel that we get their fullest attention and are as much a part of our team as anyone else on staff. They dedicate themselves to the success of La Cucina Italiana on a full time basis. Our circulation has grown a great deal over the past two years and they deserve much of the credit for it."

George Hirsch
Publisher, La Cucina Italiana

 

"CSI has consistently shown flexibility, innovation and commitment to the highest standards of quality. Their work for us was recognized in 1998 with a well-deserved Circulation Excellence award. I would without reservation recommend CSI as circulation managers: their team is professional, knowledgeable, highly effective, and always willing to innovate."

Max Henderson-Begg
Publisher, strategy+business


"Greg Wolfe, Michele Jones and the group at CSI have been an invaluable part of The Atlantic team across the last five years. From big picture circulation strategy to the complex details of fulfillment, the CSI staff approaches each task with energy, creativity, and professionalism. And CSI is not what you would expect. They deliver all the efficiencies of an outsourced solution without forcing clients into a 'one size fits all' model. Their flexibility and willingness to adapt to the client's needs and goals is what truly sets them apart."

Paul Unglaub
Circulation Director, The Atlantic


"CSI has handled ARTnews for the past seven years and has contributed greatly to the magazine's growth in circulation. Their expertise in all areas — from promotion to fulfillment to newsstand sales — is unmatched, and their monthly report package provides me with everything I need to monitor our progress. The CSI staff is attentive, creative, professional, results-oriented and a pleasure to work with."

Judith Esterow
Associate Publisher, ARTnews


"As a Consultant, my name and reputation is on the line with every recommendation I make to my client Publishers. With CSI, I don't have to worry — they always make me look good.

No matter what size publisher, CSI can help. Whether I tap into a small segment of their expertise or turn over all of the circulation responsibilities, they have they breadth and depth of staff to handle it. And, if for some reason they don't think they can, they will tell me rather than disappoint.

Without a doubt, if you are looking for circulation help in any area, from developing and profitizing circulation, including all of the details like modeling and strategic planning, direct mail, fulfillment, newsstand, etc. CSI is the place to be."
