Free-zines, or free distribution publications, offer advertisers an unparalleled opportunity to reach targeted, niche audiences. Free doesn’t mean cheap, low value or poor quality, so free-zines offer advertisers several advantages over other media:
- Free-zines neatly bridge the gap between the Internet generation’s expectation for free, quality information; while still harnessing the reading and advertising benefits of a well-produced print publication.
- They build a dedicated following thanks to the ultra-niche nature of the content.
- The value per reader of any advertising in a Free-zine is higher thanks to the targeted audience.
- Free-zines see almost no returned copies – especially in tougher economic times. No cover price means no barrier to entry to your audience.
- Because the publications are free they are more likely to be collected in the first place, and then passed on to friends who would be interested.
- Free-zines are distributed in specially selected outlets, to ensure maximum reach.
- In the current economic climate Free-zines make your ad spend work harder. BPM Mag and Muse Magazine are independent, free distribution publications that are passionate about music, entertainment and lifestyle.
