Kudos to ACP Magazines for turning around a tribute to Steve Jobs in a reprint of Rolling Stone magazine to go on sale this Friday. Promoted properly, this issue should sell out, especially in newsagencies where we are positioned to treat this as the special edition that it is.
Click here to see the Rolling Stone Steve Jobs Consumer Flyer from ACP. I love the place left for the newsagency stamp. Smart newsagents will have this on their counter already.
I was at the newly opened (just this past week) Apple store in Hong Kong at the weekend and was surprised to see the make-shift shrine created by Apple fans in honour of Steve Jobs. Click on the photo to see what I saw in detail. What the photo does not show is the constant stream of 40 or 50 people standing in silence, some taking photos.
I passed the new Apple store at the IFC Centre several times over two days on the weekend and every time it was busy in front of this wall of messages.
Apple users and non Apple users are fascinated with Steve Jobs. This issue of Rolling Stone will become a collectors item for these people. I’m already chasing extra stock.
