This is what people usually do when buying books. They take one from the shelf and look inside. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve had a chance to see youngsters sitting on the bookstore floor, reading books.<\/p>\n<p>The magazine sales process looks similar. People go to their newsstand and ask for the latest issue of their favorite magazine. Either they take it, or pick a set of new titles of the same genre to have a glimpse of their content. They would otherwise fall out of the sales process without the possibility of doing this (would you buy a new magazine if it was presented inside an opaque box?)<\/p>\n<p id=\"try\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.presspadapp.popularpsychology\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Popular-Psychology-Google-Play-Android.png?resize=700%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Popular Psychology Google Play - Android\" width=\"700\" height=\"299\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Popular-Psychology-Google-Play-Android.png?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Popular-Psychology-Google-Play-Android.png?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Popular-Psychology-Google-Play-Android.png?resize=624%2C266&amp;ssl=1 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Try before buy<\/h2>\n<p>We did a few experiments to prove this thesis.

PressPad automatically generates free samples, 5%-10% the size of the original issue.<\/h3>\n<p>This way, our publishers save their time spent on generating and uploading free sample issues, unless they really want to (because they can still prepare and upload their self-crafted samples).<\/p>\n<p id=\"visual-thinking\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Airbnb-story-infographics.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Airbnb-story-infographics.png?resize=625%2C487&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Airbnb history\" width=\"625\" height=\"487\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Airbnb-story-infographics.png?resize=1024%2C798&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Airbnb-story-infographics.png?resize=300%2C233&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Airbnb-story-infographics.png?resize=624%2C486&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Airbnb-story-infographics.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><h2>Visual thinking<\/h2>\n<p>These days, people act upon visual impulses. And this rule also applies to the digital space. One of the proofs comes from the story of Airbnb founders When Joe and Brian were looking for a reason why their company wasn&#8217;t expanding, they realized the photos of the places listed on their website weren&#8217;t pretty enough. So they started going door-to-door in NYC and taking beautiful pictures of the listed houses. That was a turning point in Airbnb&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p id=\"takeaway\"><strong>We can apply the same approach to magazine apps.<\/strong> At first, people judge a magazine by the screenshots that have to create the right picture of what&#8217;s inside and trigger the <em>&#8220;I want it badly&#8221;<\/em> thinking.<\/p>\n<p>People, especially readers, have to judge themselves whether they actually want the content. And that&#8217;s how Amazon pushes the sales of their Kindle publications, by allowing people to judge and make conscious sales decisions. Decisions that are triggered by visual impulses and end up with closed transactions.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border:2px solid #008edd;padding:10px 10px;margin:10px 0;\">\n<h3>Key takeaway:<\/h3>\n<p>The availability of free <strong>sample issues<\/strong>, combined with engaging screenshots of the magazine, has to provide a <strong>complex insight<\/strong> into the digital magazine, in order to have the readers convinced that what they&#8217;re buying is what they really want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"padding: 2em;font-size:1.8rem;\">If you want to discuss your approach towards magazine reach get in touch with us. <strong>Call +1 888 712-0331 to discuss digital publishing needs for your magazine<\/strong> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.presspadapp.com\/pricing\">start immediately risk free (pay only when your app is ready)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selling digital goods is sometimes tricky because it&#8217;s hard to apply sales patterns from the physical world to mobile.
