Telemarketing has increased nearly 500 percent in the past decade—by more than 17 million subscriptions—to become the largest source of controlled circulation for publishers, according to an article in Folio: sister publication, Circulation Management.
Circulation fulfillment has changed fairly drastically over the last few years, thanks to the Internet and the advent of new technologies. But it’s still all about customer relationship management.
Just a few years ago, publishers didn't have many options; they could either develop their own CMS or go through a third-party vendor. Each solution seemed time-consuming and expensive.

Some new technologies on the production front promise to save publishers time and money on their print process, while giving magazines a little more time to make money, like selling ads later into the cycle.
