Suite101 is claiming that Justin Bieber cannot sell magazines. This is based on sales data for a Bieber covered edition of Vanity Fair. regulars here would know that the experience in my newsagencies has been quite different. The pacific magazines Justin Bieber one shot sold out five times for us. We kept reordering until there really was no stock left.
The Suite101 article references a report by USA Today which claims that a Bieber covered Teen Vogue issue of also experienced lower sales.
From what I could see, the girls purchasing the Pacific Magazines Bieber one shot were not sophisticated magazine shoppers, probably not the target audience for Vanity Fair or Teen Vogue.
All I know is that I sold a ton of the Bieber title to young girls. I’d love to be able to do that regularly for that important demographic. I hate to say this but we need more Justin Biebers.
nope not here , could not move them
Sold fine for us and not always with the tweenies applying pressure to parents and grandparents. Some parents were on a mission to find Justin Bieber product. Must be a demographics thing.
He just got dusty here.
no one likes beavers here.
Sorry, no go here. Only interest we got was from the kids saying ‘OMG not More Bieber!!’
Mark do you know how the mag went overall ?
Sorry Shaun I don’t.
