Advertising within mobile apps is new to many—and yet it is one of the most promising venues on the horizon . Smartphone ownership doubled in 2011 and 1 in 3 US consumers now own a tablet . According to the November 2011 study, “The Mobile Magazine Reader,” released by the MPA (The Association of Magazine Media) and Affinity Research firm, 73% of tablet and e-reader owners with magazine-branded apps engage with magazine ads . With regard to magazine-branded apps:

• 90% of users are consuming just as much, if not more, magazine content

• 86% want to share articles or issues

• 59% want the ability to buy products and services directly from ads

• 70% want to be able to purchase directly from editorial features

Two kinds of advertising space are available within mobile apps . Like digital editions, remember that images and text in the app edition can also be hot linked to websites, request forms, and eCommerce pages .
