Reverse Publishing Guru

I have just found out that I am a Reverse Publishing Guru - consultant and helper to those online companies who have decided that print + online is the best way forward so they have started looking at print options to back up the online offering - catalogues, for example, with no prices to lure people to web sites and increased online spending. Of course the travel sector has done this for a long time and, despite lower volumes, people still like checking out a brochure or catalogue before commiting to their family holiday, especially if long haul. It's been held as doctrine for a long time now that print + online offerings work well for any magazine with a good subscription base - "give the punter a good deal and you'll keep them"! We all know the mantras - "Easier to keep who you have compared to getting new clients" etc. I am just pleased that the circle is getting squared with those formerly only extolling the virtues of online - print is still here but evolving as it must.

Great to read that more online publishers are seeing print as a necessary addition to help reinforce their brands ...we at Magazine Heaven (champions of print) welcome these new products .... surprising how many customers rank print over digital ... with an online brand / company underpinning the print edition it is likely to last longer than a lot of launches ....
