Particularly in media, everyone wants big numbers. We don’t want big numbers. We want engaged, quality readers, listeners, viewers… We want to create and craft an environment where we’re not getting into a discussion about cost per thousands. It’s the cost of a quality audience.” —Tyler Brule, Monocle editor For 44 years, Powder has strived for skiers’ attention by conveying the realities of our beloved pastime with irreverent wit and quality storytelling. What denotes quality? It’s a sincere effort to uncover the authentic—characters and places, therein— without trite or convenient fabrications. Of course, everyone—you, Powder, our collective audience—want to effectively promote what we’ve all worked hard to achieve. We use quantitative tools to measure the qualitative effect. And now that promotion has seen a greater investment in content from brands and individuals striving to tell their own stories. For the last four decades—and, most notably, the last five years with the rise of multiple storytelling channels—we’ve earned the trust of our audience by telling accessible stories of the common skier to the common skier. The goal for originality has taken us down different roads— from the magazine to website to video and digital features—but the message has remained consistent. Because of this, Powder’s vibrant and intelligent audience demands legitimacy, leery of contrived messaging, as if they’re looking to avoid a sharky rock hiding underneath the illusion of deep powder. In the following pages, we give you the tools to make an educated decision as to why Powder attracts the very audience you’re hoping to reach. We could champion our strength and breadth by highlighting our seven national media awards—for print and digital—the last two years or our burgeoning print and digital readership and engagement. But really, the story is the actual story, and Powder has been doing it longer with one goal in mind: quality. —JOHN STIFTER CHRISTIAN PONDELLA/NIMBUS 02 BLAKE JORGENSON/MSP 01 01 P O W D E R M E D I A K I T 2 0 15 / 2 0 16 REUBEN KRABBE RE ADER FAC T S & FIGURES Print Demographics AGE 13-17 3% 18-24 18% 25-34 38% 35-44 22% 45-54 14% 55+ 5% Median Age: 34 SEX INFLUENCE Male 90% Female 10% - Median HHI: $102,500 - Employed Full Time: 75% -C onsider themselves a peer group leader: 78% -H ave advised others on ski travel: 83% -A verage # of times have advised others on ski travel: 10 -H ave advised others on ski equipment/clothing: 82% -A verage # of times have advised others on the purchase of ski equipment/clothing: 12 - Have made a purchase in the last year as a result of reading an advertisement in POWDER: 54% E D U C AT I O N COMMITTED TO POWDER - Bachelors/graduate degree: 71% - Average # of years subscribing to Powder : 11.1 - Read it cover to cover: 62% INCOME - Average hours spent reading each issue: 3 - Keep each issue of Powder : 67% - Pass thier issue of Powder along to others: 26% SKIING EXPERIENCE P OW DE R R E PR E SE N T S T H E M OS T DE D I C ATE D, A FFLUE N T A N D QUA LIFIE D CO N SU M E R S I N SK I I N G . -A verage # of days skied per season: 39 -A dvanced/expert/pro-level skier: 95% -A verage # of years as a skier: 27 -O wn a season pass: 77% O T H E R AT H L E T I C I N T E R E S T S - Hiking: 79% - Mountain Biking: 66% - C amping: 64% - Running/Jogging: 49% - Road Cycling: 39% T R AV E L - Canoeing and Kayaking: 36% - Climbing: 29% - Surfing: 20% - C ow-Tipping: 5% -T ook an overnight ski trip in the past year: 86% -A verage amount spent on ski travel last year: $2,956 -A verage # of ski trips taken in the last year: 7.8 -A verage # of days per trip: 4.8 Winner of 3 Western Publishing Association 2014 Maggie Awards: T O TA L C I R C U L AT I O N 45% -T otal distribution: 105,500 - Circulation: 72,500 -T otal reach: 326,250 [average of 4.5 readers per copy] - Subscribers/Controlled: 49,500 BEST SERIES OF ARTICLES: “DEEP: THE FUTURE OF SNOW IN AMERICAN AND EUROPE” 3% BEST VIDEO CHANNEL: POWDER T V NORTH AMERICA BEST ORIGINAL OR REPLICA OF A D I G I TA L P U B L I C AT I O N F O R A TA B L E T: “ F R O Z E N I N T I M E ” C I R C U L AT I O N B Y R E G I O N Canada: 3% Foreign Markets: 2% - Plan to buy skis/boots in the next 12 months: 76% - Plan to buy ski apparel in the next 12 months: 72% - Average amount spent on ski equipment last year: $1,850 - Purchase items at a local retailer: 62% 2015 National Magazine Awards Finalist, Multimedia Category: “The Human Factor” Circulation Pacific and Mountain: 45% New England and Atlantic: 33% Central: 17% PURCHASING 2% FOREIGN MARKETS 45% 17% 33% 02 P O W D E R M E D I A K I T 2 0 15 / 2 0 16 EDITORIAL CALENDAR Monthly Issues ISSUE DAT E S DESCRIPTION Buyer’s Guide Trans-Siberia Traverse Space Close: Jun. 16, 2015 Materials Due: Jun. 23, 2015 September 2015 Volume 44.1 On Sale: Aug. 21, 2015 The must-read issue for gear-junky skiers.
