Marketing

-


The main objective of a magazine is to get information across and provide advertisers a means of sharing information on their products with consumers. The most efficient way of making this possible is by distributing out the magazines through marketing strategies.

Ways of promoting:

List segmentation- "Create a separate email list for each area of interest in your magazine. This makes it easier to target readers with specific reading tastes and convert them into subscribers."

 Include a subscription offer in every email- "Every email you send should have a prominent digital subscription offer that clearly tells the reader the benefits to subscribing."

 Affiliate marketing- "There are two great ways to use affiliates and not enough publications are doing it. The first is to reward existing subscribers with free issues or subscriptions for every reader they bring in.
The second is to work with influencers in your space and give them a cut of new subscriptions. Affiliates are a great tool for finding like-minded people and turning them into subscribers."

 Leverage your social media pages- "Whether you are active on Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform, utilize them as a medium to reach your potential audience and inform them about the latest issues or information. Ask them to opt for digital subscriptions and tweak until it starts converting. Also, run ads on social media channels, mostly used by your ideal readers. Run A/B tests and determine what works best for you."

 Have a great offer- "Make sure your digital subscription price is so good that it’d be crazy not to say yes. And dangling a free tote bag as a present never hurts. You may work with sponsors to create great contests and giveaways and promote digital subscriptions."

 Native advertising- "There’s more than one flavor of native advertising. Use sponsored content, branded content, advertorials or in-feed ads on the websites your potential readers love."

 Offer all types of different subscription options- "The digital era is all about options. Why not give your readers a range of subscription choices from a single issue to multi-year subscriptions."

 Reach out to lost print subscribers- "If you’ve got a corresponding print edition, take the list of people who didn’t renew and send them an offer to try a digital issue free of charge."

 Track and analyze- "Track the marketing efforts you’re undertaking and double down on the ones that are working best for you."

Introduction

G reetings, my name is Juan and this is my very first blog post of many more to come! What is my Goal? The reason I created this blog is in order to log my procedures in creating my magazine for AICE Media Studies. I will be posting these blogs on a regular basis in order to accurately explain how I intend to reach my end product (the magazine cover). My blogs will cover things, such as rough drafts, ideas, possible pictures, and essentially my entire thought process in coming up with the magazine. How will this be done? Since this is AICE Media Studies, I will be going about this blog in a very specific manner with specific tasks in order to abide by the rubric. The magazine will consist of a front-page, contents, and a two-page spread. There is also the possibility that I will be working in a group of up to 4 people. If I am to work in a group, each member of the team will be assigned a specific portion or job, all of which will be discussed in more depth later on.

Codes & Conventions of a Magazine

The next step in properly understanding how a magazine works is to learn the conventions and codes that make it up. This is something that I must learn in order to successfully create my magazine. The information that I obtained through research led me to this: Masthead:  When it comes to publishing, this term refers to the name of the magazine. This is a very important component of the magazine as it is one of the first things read and it also gives off the genre of the magazine. Sell line:  This is the statement made by the magazine that will try to convince someone to buy it. This is because it usually states any extra gains that a person will obtain from buying the magazine such as competitions or prizes. Cover lines:  These essentially serve as teasers as to what information is inside for the readers. They run down the sides of the magazine and is another technique to gain the attention of potential buyers. Main image/central image:  Just as the name implies, t

Preliminary Task (Genre of Magazines)

Genre of Magazines Before I can go about creating my magazine, I believe it is important that I understand what a magazine is, starting with the genres of magazines. I need to get my thoughts flowing as to what genre of magazine I am looking for. I conducted some research in order to outline the different genres, and here is what I found: Food Magazines: This type of magazine revolves around the advertising of food. It can range from foods that can be made at home, how to cook, home recipes, and even foods that can be found around the world. Fashion Magazines: This genre of magazine revolves around clothing and other forms of fashion. Fashion can be displayed through the use of people or individual objects. It is usually what people use to find out what is trending in clothing, but many magazines regarding fashion can also display very extravagant and unorthodox dresses. Automotive Magazines: This particular genre of magazine revolves around cars and e
