TOP TEN REASONS TO ADVERTISE IN MAGAZINES

1. Magazines and magazine ads capture focused attention: The focused process of magazine reading leads to less media multi-tasking, ensuring singleminded attention to advertising.

2. Magazine advertising is targeted: Magazines engage readers in very personal ways. There’s a magazine for every passion and a passion for every magazine. Use magazines to reach your target audience in a meaningful way — a way in which Specialty TV just can’t compare. Plus, magazine readers reach the affluent, those with disposable income to buy advertised brands.

3. Magazine advertising is relevant and welcomed: Consumers value magazine advertising, reading it almost as much as the editorial itself. The ads are accepted as an essential part of the magazine mix.

4. Magazines are credible: Consumers trust magazines so much that they are the leading sources of information that readers recommend by word-of-mouth to others.

5. Magazines offer a lasting message: Ads keep working 24/7. They provide a lasting, durable message with time to study a brand’s benefits. Consumers clip and save magazine ads for future reference.

6. Magazines deliver 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.

7. Magazine advertising drives web searches and visits: Magazines are where consumers go for ideas and inspiration. That’s why magazine ads are leading influencers, driving readers to advertiser websites and to start a search.

8. Magazines drive the purchase funnel: Magazines are effective across all stages of the purchase funnel, especially brand favourability and purchase consideration, the most sought-after metrics that are hardest to sway.

9. Magazine advertising enhances ROI: Allocating more ad dollars to magazines in the media mix improves marketing and advertising ROI.

10. Magazines sell: Study after study proves that magazines help drive sales objectives, as a stand-alone medium or in combination with others. Over half of readers act on exposure to magazine ads.
