This is especially important in the case of digital publications, where business models are based on online purchases.<\/h2>\n<p>It raises new challenges headed by sales funnel modification, about what many articles about magazine sales tips don&#8217;t say. To achieve financial goals, publishers should understand the necessity of shift the revenue model from paid-in-dollars to paid-in-data.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, they will realize the potential of their own distribution channels like the website, newsletter, or news app to build a loyal returning audience. After some time, it&#8217;ll turn out that this group is the largest percentage of paying subscribers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s time for magazine sales tips tailored to the present publishing reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Magazine sales tips \u2013 new look<\/h2>\n<p>Topics such as magazine sales tips shouldn\u2019t be considered as evergreen content.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, they are heavily dependent on external variables such as changing readers&#8217; habits, technology trends, or unexpected situations, like the Covid-19 pandemic which forced many entrepreneurs to change their business models. Secondly, every situation is different and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, we shouldn&#8217;t treat magazine sales tips as a numbered list of several or a dozen unrelated hints \u2013 I&#8217;ll take this and this and this, then will glue with each other and my magazine issues will be sold immediately, bringing an increase in revenue.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t work that way.<\/p>\n<p>An individual sales funnel strategy is necessary for magazine publishing today; this is a process, in which one thing implies the other. You need to understand what path your readers are going through the entire purchasing process; to discover at which stage they quit (and why they do it), and what determines their decisions. Everything has to be embedded in the ongoing reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To help you increase your online magazine sales we\u2019ve prepared a special step-by-step guide different from any other.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It won\u2019t give you the ready, sorted magazine sales tips you can pick from the list, implement, and wait for results.

Magazine sales tips \u2013 first-time website visitors<\/h2>\n<p>The knowledge about the source from which the readers are directed to your website is extremely important, the same as the reason why they click and enter into a page.<\/p>\n<p>Whether we are talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/how-promote-magazine-social-media\/\">promoting a magazine on social media<\/a>, implementing SEO techniques, or using word-of-mouth marketing, many publishers focus mainly on how many visitors these actions attracted, while the time of visit on the website is much more important.<\/p>\n<p>The probability that a first-time visitor enters your website and buys a single issue or clicks subscribe button is \u2013 let\u2019s be honest \u2013 low, but the chance that he makes other, non-purchase action is much higher. Even if the visit lasts several dozens of seconds it can be turned into something good.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s assume that the process of magazine promoting has already been behind you. The moment we are now is called <strong>the top of our sales funnel<\/strong> \u2013 many people come to your website looking for something. Just to be clear, they won\u2019t subscribe, they won\u2019t buy anything. Not now.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7007 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/first-time-website-visitors.png?resize=900%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the top of the magazine sales funnel\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/first-time-website-visitors.png?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/first-time-website-visitors.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/first-time-website-visitors.png?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your goal at this stage is to make them come back and you can achieve it in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>encourage them to share their e-mail address with you, offering some value in return,<\/li>\n<li>make them interested in the content on the website, so they click somewhere that gives you a pixel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What to offer to the visitor who comes to your website for the first time?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend><strong>The New Yorker Case Study<\/strong><\/legend>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They adopt a banner ad which used to be popular in the beginnings of online advertising. The thing is that they do it in their own innovative way. Their internal small banner appears on their website in the upper left corner after a while of being on the site. It is visible but not disturbing. Under the short slogan (\u201cJournalism that matters\u201d), there\u2019s an invitation to subscribe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7012 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-new-yorker-case-study-1.jpg?resize=900%2C559&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the new yorker case study\" width=\"900\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-new-yorker-case-study-1.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-new-yorker-case-study-1.jpg?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-new-yorker-case-study-1.jpg?resize=150%2C93&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the opposite side, in the top right corner, there is a clearly visible subscription button. Just next to it there are two clickable options: \u201cSign In\u201d and \u201cNewsletter\u201d. Website visitors have a choice and certainly wonder what to click (we suppose that the first-time visitors choose a free newsletter more often than a paying option). The point is, no matter what visitors choose, The New Yorker gets their e-mail addresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>First-time visitors explore your website briefly. Only if something interested them, they stay longer. They are also more willing to click to get something for free rather than pay for something they don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The secret is always in a click, as a result of which you\u2019ll gain address e-mail or pixel. In both of these cases, the content plays the first fiddle.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you propose an educational infographic or inspirational video, educational content or newsletter, it&#8217;s the value visitors can have without anything in return. Thanks to this, a trust relationship is established. That&#8217;s why the publishing industry should focus on loyalty products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Situation 1 \u2013 the visitors sign up for the newsletter<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the factors in deciding if a person becomes a subscriber is whether they signed up for your newsletter or not. Newsletters create a deeper connection with the consumers of each brand but also refer to the concept of membership. The newsletter is a conversation, dialogue, community in which readers feel deeply connected with your brand. This knowledge is perfectly used by one of our customers, what you can read about in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/how-to-reach-3-5-million-readers-in-a-year-romania-insider-case-study\/\">Romania Insider Case Study<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>To encourage people to sign up, put a non-aggressive, non-invasive pop-up somewhere on your website, informing them about obtaining free value they get after entering the e-mail address: course, e-book, guide, tips, articles. People interested in the content you propose will share their e-mail addresses with you to get it. Then you&#8217;ll be able to create a list of e-mails belonging to website visitors who are curious about your content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Situation 2 \u2013 the visitors click on the article on the website<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a pixel installed on your website, you gather information about visitors, provided that they perform some action and click on something. A pixel collects behavior data that helps you send ads to these visitors after they leave the website.<\/li>\n<li>If you know your readers and their needs, you can easily place on your website the content they surely click on. Offer the visitors, let&#8217;s say, 2-3 key catchy topics and put them in a visible place. It can be evergreen content, or even something controversial (but without an exaggeration). It makes people click on what interests them the most and the process of targeting ads begins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>As a result of each of these two actions, you get an e-mail or tracking code which \u2013 at this stage \u2013 matters more than the purchase of the magazine issue. These two items will help you profile your visitor, and encourage them to come back to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to use them wisely.<\/p>\n<h2>STEP B. Magazine sales tips \u2013 returning readers<\/h2>\n<p>Here is the moment, when you\u2019ve got two lists prepared:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>people who signed up for your newsletter,<\/li>\n<li>people who visited your website and clicked on something.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use them to encourage first-time visitors to come back to your website. How to do it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember that this is not the sales stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the moment in which people get to know about your offer, explore it and get used to it. In the effect, brand awareness increases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers need a lot of contacts with the content and the brand to make a purchasing decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why you should focus on giving potential customers some content value because loyalty comes from product experience. People who have already visited your website should get something special, what presents the brand to them and gets them used to its presence.<\/p>\n<p>The natural effect of getting free value is to return to the website. It\u2019s the process of habit formation. We are in <strong>the middle of our funnel<\/strong> now.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7014 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/returning-readers.png?resize=900%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the middle of the magazine sales funnel\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/returning-readers.png?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/returning-readers.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/returning-readers.png?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this stage, the goal is to arrange a second meeting with the brand. You can achieve it thanks to arousing in people the need to be with your content again. Use two lists you&#8217;ve already had and:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>send the great newsletter to people who signed up for it,<\/li>\n<li>prepare encouraging ads that will be seen by people who were on your website and clicked on something.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to prepare content encouraging people to come back to the website?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend><strong>The Washington Post Case Study<\/strong><\/legend>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Washington Post creates a short daily briefing called The 7 that highlights seven of its top stories of the day.

There\u2019s no place to offer paid products here. The purpose is to re-engage people who visited your site but did not take any purchasing action or inquired about your services.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at the content you have to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the newsletter, it\u2019s pretty obvious that the content is just everything that e-mail includes. What about the ad? Is content equal to the ad\u2019s look?<\/p>\n<p>Not exactly. Of course, it plays a huge role in encouraging the user to click, but we&#8217;re talking about what this ad is going to lead to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Both newsletter and ad, at the middle of the sales funnel, should offer one-time visitors free, valuable content. It\u2019s too early to give them profits like discounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the stage of building trust in the brand, the good idea is to offer people educational content, instead of a catalog of products.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7017 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/digital-marketing-cookbook-banner-1.png?resize=696%2C282&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"marketing guide\" width=\"696\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/digital-marketing-cookbook-banner-1.png?w=696&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/digital-marketing-cookbook-banner-1.png?resize=300%2C122&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/digital-marketing-cookbook-banner-1.png?resize=150%2C61&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Situation 1 \u2013 the visitors get the newsletter<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>By offering a properly adjusted newsletter to people, you increase the chance that one-time visitors will come back to the website and do some action there. Distributing content via free e-mail builds trust in the brand and content, provides needed, free, valuable content that is the greatest incentive to buy.<\/li>\n<li>The good practice is to direct one newsletter to the first-time visitor, and another to someone who was on the website a few times. Focus on educational content, interesting statistics, etc. It can be dissuasive to present an offer of paid issues in the first e-mail. You can also put some links inside the newsletter leading to your articles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Situation 2 \u2013 the visitors see the ad<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The advertisement, just as a newsletter, may offer free content like e-book, tutorials, etc. Create a piece of content that answers top questions for your current prospects or offer a free sample of your magazine.<\/li>\n<li>Readers click on the ad which interests them and are taken to your site. Every ad can be linked with the advertiser&#8217;s website or a specific landing page, where people can leave their e-mail address in exchange for free content. Thanks to this, you\u2019ll gain the next list of people who were on your website once and then clicked on your ad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What&#8217;s important, stage two (the middle of the funnel) can lead straight to stage three (the bottom of the funnel), or&#8230; it may last longer. Sometimes, people come back to your website and take the action after they get one e-mail or see one ad. In many cases, the visit happens after and a few e-mails or advertisements should be delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ebf7ff\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"width:100%;\">\n<div style=\"margin-left:20px; margin-right:20px; padding-top:15px; padding-bottom:5px;\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"case-study-of-jacobson-flare\">The Jacobson Flare News App Case Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presspadapp.com\/blog\/tag\/news-apps\/\">news apps<\/a> could be placed as an example on each of all three funnel stages we presented.
