Distribution research- Food network Magazine

-
The Food network company has a website dedicated to their magazine. On this website you have the option to subscribe to get the magazine to your house. They provide to options, 2 year plan for $22 or a 1 year plan for $12. When you subscribe you will also get a free e-cook book from the food network. When scrolling down on the main page they have an offer going to start a free trial for the magazine. You fill out all of your information and they say on the website if you don't want to continue the subscription you, can cancel right away. They also have an app dedicated to the magazine. when you click on it you have 5 free minutes to view the magazine before you have to pay $4.99 for the issue or login to your subscription. This applies to all of the magazines, they have the most recent and goes all the way back to April 2012.
For my magazine I would definitely be interested in making an app. Nowadays, people are reading magazines online then physical, so the app would really help my profits and distribution of my magazine. Also creating a website, would allow more people to have access to my product. The idea of having a promotional free first issue could persuade people to but more.

For my revision deals with my two-paged article. My first version didn't have enough text and I needed to fit my pictures. So, When I went back to fix it, I used Adobe InDesign instead of Publisher. I fixed my body text and even added a quote from the owner that was off their website. Also, I made the title bigger and added a dominate photo underneath. On the second page, I fixed my other pictures and text to fit around them. It looks more professional and put together and I made sure to fill in all the extra white space I had without making the text itself look too big. Also added branding and page numbers to the bottom pages. Overall, I'm happy with the changes I made.  On my table of contents, I didn't change much. I added branding and the page number to the bottom corner. As a group we finalized the fonts we would be using, so I changed the font on the "contents" to one I had on my cover. I slightly rearranged the article titles to be move even but over all I...

Audience Engagement Research- Sale & Pepe

Sale & Pepe is a popular Italian magazine in Italy. They have a website that can be translated into English and other languages. and it includes recipes and subscriptions to their magazines. Their target audience is similar to mine because it focuses on aspiring cooks and people who just like looking at food. I looked up Italian based magazines and they are one of the first to pop up on google. So they must pay to have that top spot. Also they Offer them in other countries. I would take examples from here and use them in my own magazine on how to market them. Also they use Instagram to promote their magazine. I would also use Instagram and maybe Facebook for my magazine because its free and easy to use. Also because its so popular, many people will be able to view my content. But because its an Italy based magazine, I am not 100% sure if they use other marketing tactics like billboards or commercials. But i would use those to help get more locals to buy my magazine.

CCR Question #2 Draft

"How will your product engage with audiences" "How will it be distributed as a real media text" The magazines i researched focused a lot on certain types of food. Like the issue was based around one item or one culture.  Also majority of the magazines i researched, had other forms of  media for their brands. Bon appetit magazine also has a you tube channel to share content and information. Food network magazine has a whole tv network but also utilizes a website to help market and sell their magazine. With my magazine being  local based, I had the idea of creating a billboard on a main road in Sarasota, where i could spread publicity easier.   Basically for my magazine i would like to create an Instagram and other forms of media to lure/engage people in. Also by using a website and social media, i can gain different age ranges. Younger  generations use social media to get information, so Instagram would be very beneficia...
