WHY DO SMART MARKETERS EMBRACE MAGAZINES?
■ Readership. Magazine readers seek out their favorite publications because they are interested in the content and are seeking information or entertainment.
■ Response. The prime prospects for most products are more likely to respond to a magazine ad than to a television commercial.
■ Believability. Magazines rank among the most trusted and credible of all media, print or broadcast.
■ Usefulness. Magazines satisfy the need to know in depth, and cater specifically to personal interests.
■ Tangibility. A magazine is a substantial purchase, offering long shelf life and high pass-along readership. Magazine ads can produce results six months and even a year after publication.
■ Efficiency. Magazine advertising rates are reasonable, especially considering their effectiveness at zeroing in on prime prospects.
■ Compatibility. Magazines create an environment of their own. As a result, the advertiser purchases a frame of mind as well as a frame of reference.
■ Accessibility. Magazines aren’t relegated to missed time slots. They will wait for their readers to return to them in their own good time.
