Magazines and Their Readers are Influential

• Readers enjoy magazine advertising more than in any other media
• Consumers trust magazine advertising the most
• Magazines influence word of mouth
• Readers invest money and time in their magazines
• Leading companies consistently depend on magazines for marketing (and so should you!)
• Magazines are the #1 medium of engagement for media — scoring significantly higher than TV or the internet in “ad receptivity,” “personal timeout,” and “social interaction,” and people find them to be the most “life-enhancing” and “inspirational.”
