Magazine Publishers Directory

What is the Directory listing for?

The Directory is a free service for all media buyers and is a gateway to finding powerful, local advertising that delivers results for brands. As Mag World Association members your publications will all be featured on this site.

See http://www.magworldassociation.co.uk/. This allows you to showcase all your publications.

How will this listing benefit me as a publisher?

Potential buyers of print media will be able to contact you directly and place a booking with you. Just a couple of full-page adverts per year will more than pay for membership!

Why would a media buyer want to use this service?

The hyper-local sector of print media is thriving and became especially relevant when the Covid pandemic changed the way we all live and work.

You must ask why? The answer lies in our proximity to our market. We are the community.

That is what makes our magazines a powerful advertising platform and that is why our sector has posted such impressive growth. Media buyers need us.

How will media buyers be made aware of the Mag World Association service?

We have a list of media buyers including franchises, head offices for national brands, media agencies and regional brands. We will also continually research online to add to our database.

We will be targeting all media buyers periodically via email marketing campaigns making them aware of the Directory site offering at http://www.magworldassociation.co.uk/

When a media buyer visits our Directory site, they will need to complete some details before being able to have access to the Directory. We will use this information to build our database.

Can I forward contacts of media buyers to Mag World?

Yes absolutely. We will rely upon our members and contacts to feed this information to us also.

When a current media buyer books advertising with you and requests similar publications out of your area, you will be able to give them the Directory listings website http://www.magworldassociation.co.uk/

 What is the Resources Centre?

Monthly Content

What type of Monthly Content will you be providing?

Editors Page – This can be highly challenging and members find this solution invaluable!  You can copy and paste, edit as necessary or just use for inspiration to write your own!  Saves time, especially at deadline time!

Monthly Content – recipe, puzzles, sudoku, word search, crossword, kids page, book review, celebrity article. Other articles included cover nature, gardening, foods, health and more. Use as regular content or one off fillers.

Revenue Generating Articles – monthly articles on topics such as property, finance, interiors, health etc. Sell to new advertisers to gain additional revenues or offer as a reward, free to existing loyal customers? Just two articles sold in a year will pay your annual subscription!  At Local Directory Magazines we generate an average of £500 additional revenue PER MONTH.  It really is that easy.

See http://www.magworldassociation.co.uk/magazine-content-examples/ for example content. You can either simply copy and paste it into your magazines, rehash the text and images to suit your publication or just draw inspiration from the content to design your own.

Members are welcome to contribute content.

How will the monthly content be organised?

Our monthly content is organised by a 3 month period, current month, last month and month coming. As the months roll forward the content will be filed into folders labelled, for example, Senior Care, Shop Local, Covid-19, Nature, etc.

We also have a very useful search facility for the whole catalogue of all articles and content on our site.  To find an article or content on a particular subject just hit the search button and type for example: Dentist or Dental, Gardens or Gardening, Kids or Children’s page, Recipe, Book Review and so on.  All articles or content with the text search entered will be visible to you instantly so you can review and select.

Content Format

We provide our content in the following formats:

• JPG Format – this is low res and mainly for our display purposes only.
• PDF Format – this hi-resolution pdf is the one to use.  Simply drop this file into your A5 magazine.
• Text & Images – use these files to redesign the article to your own style/house colours.
• InDesign File – if you are using Adobe InDesign you can edit/design as you wish using this file.
