Don't take it personally if a print buying prospect declines to meet with you. She (or he, but typically a "she") is constantly working on multiple projects. They're not all print-related, either. She might be doing project management, budget development and mailing and fulfillment. It's possible she's in charge of procuring other products and services as well. And I have a hunch that many buyers are getting more involved in other media for their employers' marketing communications needs.
