Revenue Mix From big to small; few to many
Less Dominance More Variety
Past was characterized by few
dominant revenue streams

make up for decline in traditional
standard bearers

Revenue Mix
Less Dominance More Variety
”In India, revenues are not down but the sources are undergoing a
change as there is more contribution from non-subscription-based areas.
While advertising (currently about 70% of revenues), sales and
subscription may contribute a large portion together, events, innovations
and digital presence are contributing more," said Ashish Pherwani,
associate director, Ernst & Young.
Whether this will be enough to sustain magazines, going forward, is
unclear. "With the cost levels going up, consolidation is the only way
forward for the magazine industry."

Two questions …
• Is it real? Will somebody actually
pay to buy what you offer? Can
your team produce it and sell it?
• Is it worth it? Is there revenue to
move the meter? Is there any
margin when fully costed? Does
selling it provide an intangible
benefit?
