National Geographic’s May 2012 issue looks like a winner.
Americans remain fascinated by this defining moment, the moral issues, the economic issues, the political heroes, the generals, the horrific loss of life, that helped shape the nation.
National Geographic’s covers are of such a consistently high calibre artistically, so when combined with a cover feature that expands their market (Rule #2: Subject Matter Matters), success at the newsstand is practically guaranteed. Love the Koala cover inset, the free poster, and the two additional hooks at the “floor bar”. Look for sales to jump.
