Good reasons for advertising in print

A lot of money and quick decisions are involved every day in the media business. That is why when media planners and marketing bosses, advertising buyers and sellers are selecting the right communications channels, they need good, solid and relevant reasoning to support the development of their strategy.

Every medium has its intrinsic strengths, which it contributes to the communications mix – but here we focus on the strengths of print, or more precisely on advertising in consumer magazines. Our claim is:

Advertising in magazines is intense, precise and enduring.

As evidence we document here the most compelling reasons, which also provide an overview of the medium’s strengths. For more good reasons, information, data and facts you are welcome to visit printwirkt.de – and of course consult your contact partners at the publishers.

Double advertising exposure

CONTACTS PER ADVERTISEMENT

Magazines have one big advantage over other types of media: You can pick them up and read them again, and again, and again. Whereas spots and banners disappear forever after just one (paid for) appearance, the ads in magazines are seen on repeated occasions. For advertisers this means paid for once, delivered twice. What other medium offers such a good deal?

Reading equivalent to watching a filmDURATION OF MAGAZINE READING

You make time for yourself to enjoy reading a magazine. On average, readers devote an hour and a half in total to reading and flipping through pages.

That is equivalent to the average duration of watching a film on TV – if you disregard all the commercial breaks. In comparison, magazines have the advertising already integrated into the programme.

Concentrate on what is importantUSAGE WHILE DOING SOMETHING ELSE

In modern society, the media is a constant presence in daily life – there is scarcely a moment of the day when we are not affected by media or the advertising it carries in some way.

The question is whether we pay attention to the medium: Do we focus on it, or is it simply in the background?

There is practically no medium people engage with as intensely as they do with magazines. Only 13 per cent do not fully focus on it, so that means 87 per cent of readers concentrate exclusively on a magazine. By comparison, only 49 per cent concentrate on the television.

Every day is magazine reading dayCONTACT DISTRIBUTION IN THE WEEK

Throughout the working week as well as at the weekend, from Monday to Sunday, magazines generate contacts with their readers. This applies equally to the medium as a whole as it does to the majority of individual titles..

It is only at weekends, a time of relaxation and openness, that all titles experience a slightly higher usage.

These facts provide optimum conditions for intense advertising effectiveness.

MAGAZINE TYPES

More than three quarters of all the German consumer magazines that are printed are bought by readers from their own pockets. They spend some 278 million euros a month for them.*

Obviously whatever people are prepared to pay for, they also make good use of.

Choosing your own means acceptance“I SHOP FOR MY OWN MAGAZINES”

Magazines are by far and large a personal matter. Three quarters of all Germans over 14 state they buy magazines for themselves in person.

They assess their personal preference for and interest in magazines so highly that they are not only willing to pay for them, but also go shopping for them in person.

Advertising could hardly be seen with more acceptance by its target group.

Lack of bias lends credibility

REVENUE STREAMS OF THE PUBLISHERS

Roughly a half of the income of magazines comes directly from its readers, rather than completely from advertisers.

That is a significant contrast to most electronic media, such as independent TV channels and the internet. It preserves the independent image of the free press and gives it more credibility with readers.

And this applies equally to editorial and advertising content.

One major difference between printed media and other forms: Print invests heavily in the quality of its content.

Roughly two-thirds of all German journalists are on the payrolls of printed media, while the remainder are employed by television, radio and the internet.

Content quality is one of the most important factors behind the success of magazines and the respect their readers have for them.

MOST QUOTED MEDIA IN GERMANY

Magazines exert a significant impact on public discourse in Germany. From the 15 most quoted media of the republic, 12 are printed media, four of which are magazines.

Of course, other media are occasionally much talked about and clips with unusual slip ups and strokes of luck are happily and frequently cited. However, true agenda setting generally arises from the investigative work of magazines – and this draws intense advertising contacts.

USAGE OF ONLINE CONTENT

The extent of the trust that exists between magazines and their readers can be seen every day in the internet usage of Germans.

Among the most popular content-oriented websites about a third originated as internet sites – while a quarter stem from magazine titles.

This means magazines are also stable and popular as online media brands – and promises ideal conditions for intense advertising contacts.

Print generates clicks

DRIVE TO WEB

The internet plays a central role in lots of consumer purchasing decisions and it has major significance in marketing for many advertisers. In the digital age, all types of media have to justify how many potential customers they activate online.

On average 34.6% of observers of an ad with interest in the product will visit the website of the manufacturer or product.

This means that advertising in consumer magazines has very strong drive to web.

ONLINE SEARCHES ORIGINATED BY MEDIA USAGE

Clearly a lot of visits to company and campaign websites originate from search engines, rather than direct entry of the web address. The question is which medium prompts the majority of searches?

And here magazines occupy the top ranking in a media comparison. Naturally, because magazines inspire, they are important motivators, delivering ideas and guiding their readers to online targets. Magazines are hugely successful as click generators.

Print motivates

ACTIVATION BY AD MOTIF

Advertisements activate their observers in a variety of ways, ranging from a desire for more information to purchasing the product.

The sum of all conceivable activations of an observer to an ad motif together shows that 42 percent are motivated to do something. And for every fifth advertisement more than a half of the observers have become more acquainted with the ad or the product – or actually purchased it.

This means the print advertising contributes significantly to the success of a campaign.

Print awakens interest

“MAKES ME AWARE OF INTERESTING THINGS”

Nowhere near the entire media life of a person is spent composing targeted search engine inquiries. Most of the time we have no idea what to look for until we are made aware of its existence by something.

And that “something” is more often than not a magazine. 62 per cent of German media users state that magazines provide them with interesting suggestions. Only 40 per cent say this about television, while with newspapers and the internet, it is only 30 per cent.

Print has a big footprint

COMPARISON OF AUDIENCES

It is clear that no advertising plan will cover a whole medium. However, the cumulative reach within the whole population of an advertising medium says a lot about its strategic talents: the more reach, the more universally it can be applied.

And no other medium in Germany achieves more reach than consumer magazines. This means print is the absolute number one in the arsenal of the strategic media planner.

SHOPS AND FACILITIES IN GERMANY

Wherever you happen to be in Germany, magazines are already there. Thanks to there being over 120,000 periodical retailers, you are never farther than 1200 meters from the nearest magazine seller, calculated as a pure average.

That is half as far as the nearest cash machine, an order of magnitude closer than the nearest airport, station or bakers – and where you also generally find an extensive range of magazines on offer.

The “technical coverage” – the proportion of households that could use the medium if they so choose to – amounts to practically 100% for magazines.

CUMULATIVE MAGAZINE CONTACT

Magazines do not simply appear in the house. The household pays for them and chooses them carefully. Curiosity about what is in each issue is correspondingly great. Half of readers have read the magazine for the first time within the first two days of purchasing it. This applies more or less equally for all weekly, fortnightly and monthly magazines.

That means: magazines reach your target group quickly.

TV AUDIENCES v MAGAZINE CIRCULATION

For years the circulation of consumer magazines have consistently achieved the largest media audiences, out-performing every other medium. Magazines often reach more people than the highest rated TV programmes. Even enormously popular shows like “Wer wird Millionär?” (Who wants to be a millionaire?) achieve an average audience less than the circulation of one issue of “stern” magazine.

ABOVE-AVERAGE MAGAZINE USAGE

Reading is an essential cultural ability in the western world. Success or failure in our society depends heavily on access to texts, and this was well-known even before the PISA studies. Without question the media provides lots of our text.

The socio-economic position of a person is determined by the amount of their magazine reading, or perhaps vice versa. What is important is that you have an above-average chance of reaching a target group in the upper echelons through magazines.

Stays in the mind

AD RECOGNITION PERFORMANCE

As an overall average, a specific advertisement in a magazine is recalled by 26 per cent of all German readers.

That means that advertising in magazines quickly generates an enduring image in the minds of Germans. And when we focus on groups who actually are have an interest in a product of that kind the average is even higher at 55 per cent.

Advertisements really do leave their messages behind in the minds of their readers, deeply and enduringly.

35


Lasting residual effects

AD RECOGNITION OVER TIME

Advertisements stay in the minds of their readers for a very long time. Commencing with the first day of purchase, an average magazine achieves the maximum value for recognition of an ad motif after six weeks, from the cumulative effect of repeated contacts.

After half a year, a good two-thirds are still remembered. The half-life of ad recall, meaning the time it takes before half the original effect has dissipated, amounts to as much as 10 months.

Magazine contacts are therefore a very enduring form of advertising.

Magazines stay visible a long timeMAGAZINES HAVE SOCIAL AUTHORITY

Magazines persist in the household for long periods and by preference on show, for example on a coffee table in the lounge. From this we can draw two remarkable conclusions about advertising in consumer magazines:

First, that magazines appear to be a status symbol; they carry social authority. That is a plus for the qualitative effectiveness of the advertising they contain.

Second, they have the possibility to accumulate many additional contacts. And that is a plus for the quantitative effectiveness for the advertising they contain.

Print enjoys trust

CREDIBILITY OF ADVERTISING

Magazines are so highly valued for the quality and content of their journalism, that people are prepared to pay for them. This level of trust is obviously also extended to the advertising they contain:

Of all types of media, print advertising enjoys the highest of trust. This is especially good for effective brand communications.

“ADS IN THE MEDIUM REALLY ANNOY”

Advertising forms an integral part of magazine content. This causes no annoyance, or at least ads are not regarded as annoying by readers.

In no other advertising medium do ads annoy less than in magazines. The ideal preconditions for building and retaining trust and appeal.

Three is all you need

EFFECTIVE WITH LOW CONTACT DOSES

Ultimately, advertising effectiveness is always a question of dosage, along with the medium employed. Frequently the most important question is: How can the maximum effect be achieved for a modest budget?

The answer is relatively simple: by using consumer magazines. Here we show that magazine advertising effectiveness is, for example on assisted ad recall after comparably low with other types of media.

Source: AIM Brand Tracking 2010/2011; basis: entire population of 14 years and above; modelling based on 346 campaigns (n = 21,038). Legend: persons with 1–3 magazine contacts increase the assisted ad recall by 2.4 percentage points.

Optimum mix

CONTACT MIX WITH LOW CONTACT DOSES

In combination with the internet, magazine campaigns are very effective for modest budgets with low contact doses, too.

The uplift on ad recall for a combination of magazines/internet is marginally better than for a TV/internet combination.

This means magazines and the internet compliment each other exceedingly well.

Source: AIM Brand Tracking 2010/2011; basis: entire population of 14 years and above; modelling based on 346 campaigns (n = 21,038). Legend: persons with 1–3 mixed contacts in magazines and internet increase the assisted ad recall by 5,0 percentage points.

When we analyse the campaigns of 346 brands by media type using the figures from AIM Tracking, we note some significant differences in the efficiency.

Per average contact, magazine campaigns improve the assisted ad recall only slightly more than internet campaigns, but significantly more than TV and newspaper campaigns.

In this respect, magazine campaigns have maximum efficiency.

Extreme leverage

LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS

Like practically everything in commercial life, advertising is subject to the law of diminishing returns: Each additional contact has a lesser effect.

The technology and business models of TV stations and websites often operate so they deliver very high contact doses per target person. This brings only tiny incremental returns on investment.

Campaigns in consumer magazines generally operate with relatively low contact doses. For more investment this usually results in very high returns.

This means ads in consumer magazines exert a high degree of leverage on the ROI.

Source: AIM Brand Tracking 2010/2011; basis: entire population of 14 years and above; modelling based on 346 campaigns (n = 21,038). Example: an average campaign achieves with 10 average contacts a parameter uplift of 5.0 percentage points, for 13 average contacts it is 5.4 percentage points.

Capital investment with yieldSPENDING VERSUS EFFECT BY MEDIUM

An analysis of the influence of advertising spending on major key performance indicators such as awareness, appeal and purchasing intention in some 900 models show that in very many instances magazines have a far greater effect in relation to spending. Their effective contribution is around one and a half times the size of the investment part.

That means magazines contribute a very high return on investment.

Source: AIM Brand Tracking 2010; 906 models (ISBA, Nielsen Media Research), brands with spending > 1 million euros in consumer magazines and > 2 million euros in total based on the KPIs purchase intention, appeal, usage, brand awareness, assisted and unassisted ad recall.
