It frustrates me when a magazine uses a card insert to grab space from another magazine title – as is happening with the imported Weight Watchers Just Say Yum title. They are using my space to sell membership to their weight loss program. When I noticed this on the shelves I took out the blue card (after taking the photo).
I don’t mind the stick-out cards for a higher profile title which is waterfall displays – like Good Health – as they are only blocking their own cover.
Magazine publishers need to respect that they share space with other magazines and that this is space we newsagents own. Stealing space from another title is disrespectful, especially if you are using it to sell something from which we do not benefit.
