December 6th, 2011

b2C

Establishing credibility and providing valuable content through books, magazine articles, and white papers has been the industry norm for decades. The world is already accustomed to looking to advertising and public relations agencies for guidance and that next big idea — be it creative, communicative, or a combination thereof.

11% Of Magazine Exposures Are Digital-Only, Survey Shows

November 22nd, 2011

Paidcontent

Eleven percent of U.S. adults’ exposures to magazines are exclusively via digital platforms, new data from GfK MRI says. But with newsstands available on more devices, that number should increase.

Between March and October 2011, GfK MRI estimates that the total U.S. gross magazine audience (the number of consumer exposures to magazine-branded content on any platform, including print) was 1.58 billion. Of those, 135 million exposures were print + digital, and 166 million were digital-only. That digital-only group is made primarily of men (63 percent), and they’re more likely to be young, affluent and well-educated. The sample size for this survey was 12,546 people, and GfK MRI extrapolates its results to the entire U.S. adult population.

AdweekMedia Forecast 2011

December 12th, 2010

Adweek, 12/12/10

Our editors take a look at what’s ahead in key industry sectors

FORECAST 2011: PRINT

If 2010 was a year of digital innovation, in the form of iPad apps and online paywalls, 2011 will be one of continued tinkering. Publishers will test tablet subscription offers and metered paywalls as they recognize the need to offset shrinking ad revenue and increase their haul from consumers. Four of the biggest magazine companies start the year off with new leadership, raising expectations for transformation at a high level. Expect to see the continued expansion of marketing services, deeper integration of print and digital sales, and creation of digital products driven by consumer needs—steps many would call long overdue. “The biggest thing that needs to happen is a lot of listening to what the client wants, listening to what the consumer wants,” says Carolyn Dubi, svp, director of print at Initiative. “It brings us toward the golden ticket, which is about performance.”

ASME Releases Updated Ad Guidelines

October 21st, 2010

Mediaweek, 10/21/10

With ads popping up on covers, traipsing across editorial white space and woven into magazines in otherwise unusual ways, the American Society of Magazine Editors’ guidelines—which say how to keep ads and editorial content separate—haven’t always kept up.

On Oct. 21, ASME released revised guidelines for the first time in five years (posted at magazine.org/asme), with new language concerning the use of false covers, sponsored sections, interruptive advertising and ad adjacencies—high-profile examples of which have lately come before the association.

ASME also is working on revisions to its digital guidelines to reflect the growing use of invasive and interruptive ads online and federal rules requiring bloggers to disclose commercial ties. That process is expected to be finished later this year.

Macworld Rolls Out Tiered Online Subscriptions

September 8th, 2010

Paidcontent, 9/8/10

Macworld, the magazine and website devoted to all things Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), is launching a range of online subscription products. The various subscription plans fall under the Macworld Insider program. Membership is required for Insider access, with the first level starting at $19.95 a year up to $39.95 annually. With the inability of online ads to offset the declines on the print side, more publishers are trying to find ways of presenting premium content. But aside from that, Macworld is also gearing Insider membership to one of parent IDG’s big moneymakers, the Macworld Expo in January.

Among the benefits of the Insider membership are full access to the magazine’s online archives, full-text RSS feeds of all Macworld content along with a PDF archive of back issues. The archive currently dates back to January 2007 with more back issues to come. In addition, each PDF is a DRM-free file that’s completely searchable via Spotlight and compatible with the iPad.
