Circulation Distilled.Subscribers Acquired.

Contrix has operated one of the largest online print magazine subscription properties since 1998 — and turned that experience into the platform we now run for the publishers who've done the math. Acquisition, checkout, renewal, customer service: one integrated system, built for how print circulation actually works.

What we do

Two businesses, built on one operating system.

01 — TOTAL SEARCH

The Total Search Program brings capital, systems, and operational expertise to a channel most print publishers struggle to cost-justify alone. We invest the media budget, operate the landing page, and handle the subscriber experience from first click. Capital-light for the publisher. Engineered for sustained acquisition.

02 — MAGAZINE-AGENT.COM

One of the most trafficked magazine subscription destinations on the web — 2.4 million customer accounts, over 1,000 titles, A+ BBB. It's a business in its own right, and proof that we know how to run subscriptions operationally at scale.

The backbone

Built on technology we've run ourselves for nearly three decades.

Both businesses run on the same platform — built in-house, operating since 1999. We don't sell it as a product. We use it every day.
