In Men's Health there is actually a "centerfold" girl, well, not exactly "center" because she's only on one page. But, you get my drift.
Here is what I found:
ITEM | MEN'S MAGAZINE | WOMEN'S MAGAZINE |
Clothing | 6 | 10 |
Shoes | 5 | 5 |
Deodorant | 2 | 1 |
Cologne | 4 | |
Hair | 4 | |
Cars | 4 | 1 |
Trucks | 1 | |
Weight | 19 | 24 |
Sex | 2 | 1 |
Cancer | 2 | |
Tampons | 1 | |
Toilet tissue | 1 | |
Dishes/Tide | 2 | |
Cell phones | 1 | 1 |
Insurance | 1 | |
Febreze | 1 | |
Vitamins | 1 | 1 |
Time-off stuff | 1 | |
Sports Beverages | 1 | 1 |
Beer | 1 | |
Tech | 1 | |
Stocks | 1 | |
Water | ||
Golf | 2 | |
Glasses | 1 | |
Tires | 1 | |
Motor oil | 1 | |
Pet food | 1 | 1 |
It is absolutely amazing! I expected ads pertaining to health, you know--vitamins, bottled water, diet foods, tennis shoes, but Tide and Febreze in the women's magazine? K-Y Jelly and a centerfold in the men's magazine? Incredible.
Who thinks of these things?
And, if I like anything I see, I have to order it by mail, or make a phone call, when I am browsing through print media as opposed to clicking to a link and making a purchase on line.
So, I'm wondering--is it different online? Is there an online version of either of these magazines? If so, is the advertising different and is it more accessible?
