Last call for issue #2 ad placement! There is still time to get in!

You think nobody reads magazines? Think Again!

Great youtube video link.  Have a chance to verify any of those stats?  They are certainly very impressive!

Like most statistics, they can be spun almost any way depending on the goal.  

The first one...
"magazine readership is steady.... despite the biggest economic downturn in 80 years"

What does that mean?  Is it true?

Well if you look at the number of people who say they read magazines in a poll, it is pretty steady.  
If you look at the total circulation of magazines, it is down despite a growing world population.

The rest of the stats are mostly geared to people selling magazines at retail.  In those cases it is a clear win.  Considering most publishers 'take back' unsold magazines there is little cost to most retailers.

B&N saga is just beginning. It is not an instant thing. We have an agreement in principle with them and negotiating a few finer points now. We expect to have signed exclusive 2 year long contract with them imminently. We do not know yet which stores it will go in and we do not know yet how many copies they will request us to print. Could be 10k, could be 100k, could change over time. They told us "your title is a bookstore title", whatever that means. I am rounding up finances to be able to print 20k of #3.

Once thing is known, you should not expect to see BM  on the shelves before 1st of September, it will be either #3 or #4. This is just how long it takes. But still go now to their stores and bug them and tell them to make sure that they stock it once it becomes available. It helps a lot.

No guarantees here, but advertisers do take notice that you can book now up to 6 month of the most valuable advertising real estate in BM (some have done it already) and potentially get huge exposure in B&N distributed issues at silly low prices. One advertiser, for example bought some full page ads in the very beginning for 3 first issues for some champ change, like 150$. And now he will get not just #1 ads, but #2 and #3 ads too (potentially with big print and in B&N stores). Likewise you still can book ads for up to 6 month in advance now for just a few thousand dollars (we even give decent discount on long term deals). Some advertisers have seen this opportunity and locked in the most valuable spots for many month in advance. As soon as we know how many copies we need to print to cover B&N order, the ad prices are going to skyrocket again, most likely.

There also will be minor pricing changes. The prices in stores will be higher than what one can get on subscription or direct from us. Overall price of one copy will also be increased slightly for some regions. Naturally people who subscribed already are not affected by any of this.

Also it is highly likely that starting from #2 we will print in UK on the same presses that Wired and their ilk are being printed on. We will have much more robust logistic solution and shipping to both EU and North America will be much quicker starting with #2.

With the successful launch of Bitcoin Magazine Issue #1 it is our pleasure to announce the sale of ad space for Issue #2. We initially planned to print 2000 copies but demand lead to a final print run of 5000 copies.
 
The magazine will soon be available on every major digital newsstand (Apple, Android, Kindle, etc.) enhancing exposure. We are also working on a distribution deal with Barnes & Nobles, meaning that in the near future Bitcoin Magazine will be available at physical newsstands all over USA.
 
As an added bonus, advertising in Bitcoin Magazine means your ad will be distributed at Bitcoin conferences and conventions all over the world. One of many planned promotional events are giveaways at the future London Bitcoin Convention. This is one of many reasons why Bitcoin Magazine provides unprecedented niche market penetration you will not find anywhere else.
 
Our website, www.bitcoinmagazine.net, has been found noteworthy and was quoted by several mainstream publications including Forbes, Time Magazine, National Post, The New American, Silicon Angle and several others. To celebrate the successful launch we are now also offering our print advertisers free advertising on the site for a limited time. As a reward for purchasing 1 full page ad or higher you will also receive a minimum of 10 complimentary copies of Bitcoin Magazine.
 
The deadline for Issue #2 is June 8, 2012. Submissions received later than this may be considered but will likely be printed in Issue #3.
