Good reasons for advertising in print
Alexander von Reibnitz
Managing Director of Print Advertising and Digital Media Association of German Magazine Publishers (VDZ)
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.

USAGE 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.

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.

Confi dence in sources of informati on
The rapid expansion of online media and technologies has drastically reduced the barriers to access in the information market. And it is good that it has. However, the sheer volume of information requires that users are able to select and evaluate.
One of the most important criteria for this is confidence in the source of information. In terms of trust in them, print media enjoys the highest ratings of all traditional media types. And that applies to their editorial as well as to their advertising content.
Print inspires trust.

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.

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.

Magazines exert a significant impact on public discourse in Germany. From the 15 most quoted media of the republic, 13 are printed media, five 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.

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.

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 39% 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.

“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. 53 per cent of German media users state that magazines provide them with interesting suggestions. Only 35 per cent say this about the internet, 33 per cent about television, while with newspapers it is only 29per cent.

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 43 per cent are motivated to do something. And for every fourth 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.

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 118,000 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.

Target group precision
As a rule, a person who buys a product shares a general interest in products of that type. The most sustainable and efficient way to increase the effectiveness of a campaign is to reach the product interested target group accurately.
An analysis of over 380 campaigns in the AIM Brand Tracking shows that magazine and online ads reach persons with product interest at least 30 per cent better than TV ads do.

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.

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.

Weekly magazinesalso deliver additional (multiple) contacts after two weeks
Fortnightly magazinesalso deliver additional (multiple) contacts after four weeks
Monthly magazinesAlso deliver additional (multiple) contacts after eight weeks
Magazines are read over and over again. After the initial, rapid contacts, ever more are added over an extended period. So ads communicate their advertising messages equally enduringly.

MAGAZINES HAVE SOCIAL AUTHORITY
Source: TdW 2012 II; basis: German-speaking population of 14 years and above (70.3 million, n = 20,167)
Agreement to respective statements as percentages 3.1.4 Print works enduringly, because it achieves solid residual effects with great efficiency.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.

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.
Source: CN 15.0; basis: German-speaking population between 14 and 69 years of age (58.99 million, n = 19,032); statement: “On the whole advertising (in the respective medium) is credible: broad/full agreement”

“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.

3.2.3 Print works enduringly, because its ads are highly likeable and credible.
Magazines qualify as the advertising channel most accepted by consumers, as well as being the most popular. And not just in Germany, but also in France and the UK. This was the conclusion of a study undertaken on behalf of software supplier Adobe.
Thus magazines provide the ideal conditions for the perception and acceptance of advertising messages.

EFFICIENCY OF AVERAGE CONTACTS
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.
Source: AIM Band Tracking 2012 basis: entire population of 14 years and above, n=17,450; modelling based on 383 brands and 214 medias. Legend: magazine campaigns achieve an improvement of the assisted ad recall per average contact by 1.5 percentage points.

SPENDING 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.
Proportions of spending and contributory effect in percentages 3.3.2 Print works enduringly, because ads deliver a very high return on investment.
