Advertising in Magazines

Today we're going to focus on just one media...magazines. They offer the highest quality printing and generally provide a longer shelf life. The nice thing about this media is that there are targeted magazines and there are broad mass market magazines. More times than not you'll want to focus on on the ones that have readers closely matching the profile you've targeted. Every magazine has a media kit which should give you that information.

Magazines Command Respect
The simple perception advertising in the right publication can give your customers is sometimes worth spending more.

They Cost More
While magazines have a tendency to cost more, the overall quality of advertising is better. They also have a longer shelf life than a newspaper. Readers usually revisit magazines several times, working their way through the articles they find of interest.

Know the Magazine
Do some research. Know who subscribes to the publication. If you know someone who buys the magazine, ask them how long they keep an issue and how many times they look at it. This will give you a good idea if it's right for your business.
