At a recent newsstand seminar, (the MBR Conference at the Old Mill, on October 25) Glenn Morgan, CEO of Coast to Coast, and Craig Sweetman, presented some interesting findings from the recently completed 2015 CTC Boxscore. The CTC Boxscore looks at 3,091 English language magazines sold in Canada.

One factoid in particular was a real eye-opener:

• In this country 3.6 magazines are sold every second.
• In the next minute over 200 magazines will be sold in Canada.
• In the next hour close to 13,000 magazines will be sold on Canadian newsstands!
• In the next day over 152,000 magazines will be purchased by Canadian consumers!
• In terms of total retail dollar sales, almost $1 million a day of magazines are sold in Canada.
