Ask your best advertisers. If might be a simple way to increase circulation for the cost of a phone call as you add value and increase sales for your key partners.
Natural combos are easy to imagine. Like New For Baby (a great site for baby clothes started by Lyn and Michael Huffman and their partner Leigh Rubio) and one of their favorite magazines, Fit Pregnancy.
Can you think of other profitable marriages of convenience?
