There is less adult magazine trash to clean up today compared to two or three years ago. By trash I mean plastic bags left from sealed magazines opened are read or stolen. While this could be due to browsers who open sealed adult magazines cleaning up their trash, It is more likely that there is less interest in these magazines. Sales in the category are down so it stands to reason that browsing is down. Theft too. The adult category is one where online is impacting sales, and trash. I know in my shop this category is browsed less frequently than I can recall in my last 11 years here.
Erm… my friends have told me that you get better for free on the internets these days. Like me they only have an academic interest in such things.
Mark, is it a common occurrence for people to be stealing adult mags from newsagencies? What would be the most stolen product?
Sid, the main magazines stolen are women’s weeklies. Adult titles used to be hit but not so much now. Mark
