I noticed several retail businesses in manila selling magazines including this large homewares store. Yes, those three stands on the right of the entrance all contain magazines. Each from a different distributor or publisher from what I can see. I am guessing that they pay for this placement.
I was shocked to see magazines for sale in a homewares store. Yes, some of the titles – homewares etc – made sense for this type of business. But selling magazines in such a business, outside of a traditional magazine department was a surprise.
One of the stands was branded for the distributor or publisher while the other two promoted the title categories.
