One Direction magazine out today in newsagencies

The One Direction one shot arrived in-store today, under the Girlfriend masthead. I’d urge newsagents to NOT early return this title. Place it at the counter as this is a title which will be purchased on impulse. Treated well within the store it should sell out. That is our plan. Indeed, we are ordering more stock based on what we think we can achieve with the title based on sales of Justin Bieber titles.

One Direction is a UK boy band that has teen and tween girls in Australia going nuts. If you have these shoppers in your shop or can attract them or those who buy for them, here is a great chance for you to make some good money. Contract Gotch, check your supply numbers, make sure you are getting enough stock.

    Im not a newsagent but I fully support Mark’s post. One Direction’s Australian concert sold out in 3 minutes. If you make it known you have this mag, you will sell out. I am talking from watching my daughter and her friends go mental about this band.

    Niall you are right. Front of sore. Bold display. Over the counter pitch to anyone who knows a teen or tween girl.

    Further on this, the team at my Knox store offered the Total Fanzine One Direction poster to each customer purchasing the One Direction magazine and every single one purchased the second title. Nice work!

    One Direction is great, the world needed another manufactured boy band because there has been such a hole in this genre for far too long……LOL!!!!!
