i'm surprised that no ones thought of it before

also, someone with sme sort of magazine information, if you stick freebies on the cover, do you sell more copies?

and does the extra sales generate enough profit to cover the extra cost of producing the printed freebie/manfacture of dvd/etc and plastic bag to wrap it up in?

thank you please

The short answer is yes, the uplift in sales more than covers the cost of the gift and bag.

Glad you found the map useful.
