Justin Bieber Hurting Magazine Sales
Adweek is reporting a curious trend: When magazines feature Justin Bieber on their covers, that issue doesn’t sell well.
When People had the teen sensation on its cover last Spring it sold few copies, and now Vanity Fair is getting torched by The Bieber Effect as well, says Lucia Moses. “VF’s February issue, with Bieber on the cover, is selling 40 percent-50 percent below the magazine’s average newsstand sales.”
Moses says that the reason simply might be that Bieber fans wouldn’t be intersted in buying a magazine like Vanity Fair, but we think that’s the wrong way to look at it.
