Top 15 Reasons

Why Magazines Should be on the Plan

1. Reach ‘High Value’ Consumers – Magazine readers are better educated, have higher purchasing power and watch less TV — they deliver the hardest to reach and most influential of opinion leaders.

2. Bonus Impressions – The average magazine page is viewed 1.7 times, providing more impressions per ad than newspapers or TV. These bonus exposures increase a brand’s opportunity to be seen when the consumer is ready- to-buy.

3. Active Medium – The active, involving process of reading ensures focus on and understanding of the brand message.

4. Magazines Communicate Better – Reader involvement in magazine advertising delivers 39% more awareness of the brand message than TV, on that all important first exposure.

5. Tell The Entire Brand Story – Magazines allow in-depth, detailed communication of the entire brand story, not :15 or :30 sound bites. And they do so with exceptional reproduction values.

6. The Most Informative Medium – Consumers rate magazines as the most informative medium. Magazines influence purchase behaviour early in the decision-making process, giving readers ideas of what to buy, more so than newspapers or TV.

7. Selective Targeting – Magazines tightly target all areas of reader interest and passion — there’s a magazine for virtually everyone! Use magazines to reach/cover your target audience in a meaningful way — a way in which Specialty TV just can’t compare.

8. Brand Relevant Imagery – Magazine editorial imbues ads with brand relevant imagery, associations and a frame of reference that delivers greater reader receptivity to brand ads.

9. Build Relationships – Magazines are the most personal of media, creating private and intimate connections with each individual reader. Magazines are invited guests, creating strategic or tactical one-on-one conversations with yourcustomers.

10. A Lasting Message – Consumers clip and save magazine ads for future reference. They provide a lasting, durable message with time to study a brand’s benefits.

11. A Credible Message – Magazine ads are perceived to be highly credible, believable and trustworthy sources of information.

12. Flexibility – Magazines provide opportunities for inserts, supplements, advertorials and a variety of size and positioning options to meet any advertiser’s specific creative needs.

13. Media Multiplier Effect – Magazines are additive to most any TV plan — they add ‘readers’ not just viewers. The net effect is increased net coverage, faster and more efficiently, delivering hard-to-reach light TV viewers. Together, magazines and TV communicate the same message in different ways, ensuring improved brand messaging.

14. Magazines Generate Response – Magazines make it happen. After reading ads, consumers are motivated to shop for and purchase products, call 1-800 numbers or go to a website. Response is immediate.
