This will entice there target market to buy the magazine. Also, many other stories are arranged at the bottom of the page in all three editions. This will make sure that the magazine has a range of stories to stop it from being boring with the same stories in each edition. Also in each of the editions shown there are special offers or freebies that may come with the magazine are shown in bright colours. This banner on each edition will attract its audience as everyone loves a freebie or an offer for a certain product to do with music.

Also, their audience will know where to look for any stories or design.

This is a great way that the magazine attempts to sell.
