An Open Letter to Cosmopolitan Magazine

Posted on the 02 June 2012 by Karibestrycki @bloglikeitshot

In order to keep up with basically everything…I subscribe to Cosmo. I have learned so much from this magazine. For example:

  • What type of BFF I am (the awesome one…obvi)
  • How to scoop a man by July (still working on this one)
  • What kind of sunblock I should wear that compliments my skin type

And the list goes on and on.

As a dedicated Cosmo subscriber, I was surprised to receive a postcard in the mail telling me that they have received a rush in subscriptions and I’ll be receiving my magazine asap. I was totally okay with that, until I read the other side of the postcard which said my subscription would begin with the August issue.

So Cosmo, what happened to the month of July? Does that one not count anymore?

I tweeted Cosmo a few days ago about this debacle…no response of course. Can someone explain this to me? I would like to know how this is a good business practice.

P.S. If you haven’t figured it out yet…I’m upset!
