NEA Task 3: UK Magazine Industry

 Phones and portable screens are adding to the rise in popularity of magazines. With larger avalability of high-m speed broadband, streaming and downloading online content has become greatly popular. There has been a move of digital formats by publishers in the hope to improve customer engagement and reach a wider readership. 

Interactive advertisments are becoming more common within printed magazines. This is having a good impact that is a factor to the predicted growth. 

Magazine Publishers have seeked innovative ways to make their readers use the content and find similarities with magazine content and advertising. This entails gaining the attention of it's readers utilising campaign- tailored links and partake in printed advertisisement. This entails gaing interest to build brand awareness. Some change the content reader's see making it dynamic depending on their responses as they are happening. 

An example of furthering the digital experience for it's subscribers is creating an app. GQ France gives content from the printed magazine which is altered for digital devices. Each day a feed of exclusive content about the topics of food, wellbeing, fashion, style. which is specifically designed for it's subscribers which creates a sense of exclusivity and like they are in a club. This content can then be bought. Exclusives feature also like bonus masterclasses, podcasts and weekly contests.

The progression of computerised programmed advertisment aquiring is also rising use of magazines as intent advertisement platforms. The advertisements seem intergrated within the editorial content of a page which increases the chances that the brand will be noted by the reader.  

Companies are also bringing out their own magazines to promote items and services particularlty in Europe. The car and consumer goods industry. Alternative European Magazine publishers are improving their magazines and overhauling content to accumilate customer loyalty and lure new customers. Some examples of titles, especially in Supermarkets include Sainsbury's, Waitrose food and Lidl Weekly. Brochure's to advertise cars and travel are also popular but are more commonly found online, now in a PDF format. Catalouges can also be used to promote products like clothing and cosmetics. 

Magazine advertising is still being succesful because audiences are distinctly approachd. Content is satisfactory and mostly creative. The reproduction quality is high and readers can select what they look through- all of this aids in increasing reader participation. There is also a flourishing interest in the standard of brand awareness that can be cultivated to go well with other platforms. 

Want for creative and interactive print advertising in gaining momentum particularly because of the range of magazine titles that are based on entertainment, education, infomation and other customer requirements both in the home and commercially. These media literate readers offer a key market to advertisers.  Anchored content like podcasts allow further access to an audience that mostly like to use voice searches and voice assistants. 

Printed magazines are still expected to have a major share of the estimated growth. Print magazines are published periodically so reliable delivery is an important factor. Managing the entire supply chain can be complex and have an effect on finances. Despite this, people prefer to read printed magazines and believe the content the audience find there which is helping to further growth.
