“TARGET MARKETING”
Why it matters to you
In an age when advertisers seek to engage consumers on multiple
“touch-points” it’s important to consider not only the medium, but the
quality of that medium’s audience. SNOWEAST’s circulation program
is unique. Our editorial is not written for a national audience and then
placed in an “Eastern edition.” Our focus is only the east!.... and our
readership likes it that way!
SNOWEAST’s editorial focus engages avid eastern skiers and riders.
And they’re out every season skiing and riding with multiple trips a year. Pop into an Eastern ski club and you’re likely to find us there. Head to
your favorite eastern resort, lodge or ski shop, and you’ll find us there
too. (Check your local library, we are often there too.)
What’s UP in the EAST?
The SIA (Snowsports Industries of America) in conjunction with Leisure
Trends Group in their annual Retail TRAK Sales Report for snow sports
through February 28, 2014 showed;
•Equipment Sales: $782M, up 3 percent in dollars sold and up 2 percent in units sold
• Apparel Sales: $1.3B, up 4 percent in dollars sold and down 1 percent in units sold
• Accessories Sales: $1.15B, up 14 percent in dollars sold and up 8 percent in units sold
The Niche Publication Market
Boomers, GenXr’s, Millenials…for each demographic
group; their magazine readership levels are consistent.
(see chart to right) That story is quite different with TV
and internet media usage. SNOWEAST editorial reaches
across all demographics with features relevant to each
group’s lifestyle interest.
What Does MARKET RESEARCH
say about niche publications
Magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the internet
in the purchase drivers of brand awareness and favorability and brand purchase intent.
Magazines are also the medium that best complements the web in reaching the social
networkers who build buzz.
Magazines are # 1 in reader engagement with the average reader spending 40 minutes
with an issue. – Source: Grtk, MRI, Fall 2012
“Newspaper publishers fret that younger readers go online for their news, but magazines
continue to command loyal audiences, many of them young. There’s something very easy
about reading a magazine. It’s high-quality. It is easy to scroll through and one doesn’t
need an Internet connection. Online can be a pale representation and I think that’s something we tend to forget.” – Peoria Journal Star
