the power of print
Somehow, amidst their infatuation with Facebook, YouTube, Twitter
and the like, young adults are still making time for another one of their
favourite pursuits: reading magazines.
Average paid subscriptions reached nearly 300 million in 2009 (Source:
MPA estimates based on ABC first half 2009 and second half 2009 data).
In fact, in 2009, 22% of all new paid magazine subscriptions were done
online. People love magazines as much as ever. What they don’t love is
filling out little subscription postcards with the best intentions of mailing
them only to discover those cards under a pile of mail a month later. The
Internet has not supplanted magazines as the preferred medium; readers
are simply using it as a tool to get their magazines through a simpler,
faster and more efficient process. And what’s more, just as the Internet
is aiding the increased rate of magazine subscriptions, magazines drive
web searches-readers want to know more about the fascintating content
found in their favourite mags.
Compared to other forms of media, magazines have a competitive
edge when it comes to delivering long-lasting, high impact advertising.
Magazines deliver advertising messages over time, and as readers pass
Compared to other

them along to family and friends, ads constantly reach new markets and
demographics.
Declining advertising also works in the favour of companies and business
owners who dare to see the value of advertising in magazines, especially
now. There is less so-called “clutter” in the market, which ensures that
your brands will stand out. Less clutter also gives you an edge over your
competitors who have slashed their advertising budgets. Your brands
achieve dominance in a less crowded marketplace, which brings more
consumers to your products.
So, why advertise in magazines? Magazine readership has grown over
the last few years, with the 18-34 year old demographic among the
most loyal readers and quickly growing sector. Not only are they more
loyal than their older counterparts, they read more issues per month and
spend more time on each issue (MRI Fall 2009 data). This means more
exposure to your ads. Consumer confidence is starting to go back up,
which means consumer spending is also starting to improve.
Things can only go up from here. Magazines are here to stay.
