04 Macbook Air Advertisement sells stickers
From MacStories: “When Apple published their new “Stickers” ad for the MacBook Air last week, I presumed it would be a boon for sellers of MacBook stickers and decals. So earlier this week I decided to reach out to a few sellers of MacBook stickers and decals to see what kind of impact the ad from Apple has had on their store visits and sales.”
