There is no denying that the ad industry has taken over the world in numerous ways, especially magazine cover ads. Even after the fact that we live in a new age, the digital era, print publication still matters to all generations. According to a survey conducted, 92% of young adults prefer printed content over digital content because they find it less confusing, less divergent, and easy to read. The same goes with millennials- up to 54% of them pay attention to catalogs and magazines. It is known that magazine ads can be a great way to build brand awareness and lure more customers to your product. But not every company succeeds in realizing a great ad and making a profit. So, what is that? What is the key to winning the heart of the potential customer? Worry not, today with the help of this post; we will share the best ad designs of magazines, which will help you learn all the required tips.

 

Top Examples of Graphic Design Magazine Ads!

Heinz

No one can forget that the simple tagline “Pass the Heinz” has won the hearts of millions. You might not know, but it originated in one of the TV show episodes, “Mad Men.” The marketing genius Don Draper dropped the images of food of Heins without ketchup. The idea was to create a bond and fill the gap between the people. The strong bond between people helped the brand to create hype in the least time possible.

iPod Shuffle

iPod is a part of one of the biggest brands in this world, which is Apple. This special ad used a product to map out a running route in New York City’s Central Park. As we all know, joggers mostly use this product in the mornings and the evenings; that is why the officials of Apple covered the entire area where they used to run. This was a creative and different way of promoting a product; people loved this offline print advertising. 

Sharpie

Do you remember when Miami ad school designed a sharpie print ad that plays on the famous logo- it was the rolling stones logo? They used the tagline” it all started with a sharpie.” Their target was to point out the longevity and historical importance of the product, and they succeeded in it. Of course, it took a global trading magazine and some of the most iconic imagery from people across the world. 

Expedia

Let’s talk about Ogilvy’s print campaign for the travel brand Expedia; they used three-letter airport codes to convey messaging that readers will associate with the splendors of taking a vacation at exceptional and exotic places. There was a case where the agency’s employees witnessed a lady with the IATA code “FUK” hanging around her suitcase; people say that is what prompted the idea.    

Burger King

We all know about the famous burger brand “Burger King.” But do you know about the renowned ad where they converted an unfortunate moment into an opportunity? This was filled with dark humor, so not everybody liked it, but it gave hype to burger king. The story relates to a restaurant that was burned down. Innovation is a mother of greatness. 

Conclusion!

As I was talking about above, there is no denying that the ad industry has taken over the world in numerous ways, especially magazine cover ads. Even after the fact that we live in a new age, the digital era, print publication still matters to all generations. Heinz, iPod shuffle, Sharpie, Expedia, and Burger King were the most famous examples.

The word “digital” is something that does not fade out of anybody’s mind. Whether we talk about taking your business online or creating a brand identity, everyone is dependent on online channels. Well, companies are also making dollars by adopting the process of online marketing strategies. But before you abandon the traditional approach of advertising channels like magazine cover advertising or banner printing, let’s look at what it can do and how effective it is for your business. 

Basically, magazine cover wraps are considered one of the effective ways to reach VIP clients. Yes, every loyal audience matters for your business, and it doesn’t matter what services or product you are offering; you can still use this approach to reach out to the audiences like pharma, doctors, retail, or B2B. Many largest brands still use magazine cover wraps advertising as a channel to gain consumers’ attention or increase business sales in the offline world. Likewise, most B2B companies use this approach as part of their marketing strategies. 

Select the appropriate magazine

The very first approach is to browse through the available publications and magazines and check out which one will fit your business or services. For example, suppose your business is all about fashion, so you need to look for the best vogue cover for your advertisement. This will help you in reaching the fashion influencer. 

Put your Ad where it will be most effective

The location of your Ad will be determined by the budget and type of content you are using. When you’re investing more, you can also put your content on the cover page to be more visible to the consumer. Either way, your content can be printed adjacent to any relevant article. 

Determine how much text is appropriate for your target audience

We all know the importance of creating content related to business promotion, either offline or online. For example, a magazine cover advertising should be brief and informative to engage consumer attention. Reading the audience’s mind is one of the most challenging tasks; therefore, if you want to gain consumer attention, make sure your content is qualitative.

Check to see if your ads are combined

Because you’re unlikely to promote only via one channel, it’s critical that every one of your marketing is connected or that all of your designs are consistent with your entire brand image. This includes your news magazine ad, which must be integrated into the overall story you’re conveying.

Message Impact

Whenever you’re going for a message printing, you must know that content, designs, and style to be used for printing help gain attention and improve the visual representation of any products. For example, magazines usually practice a bright polish and recognize full-color covers. In short, you must take care of image, content, style, and design to be used in creating overall magazine advertisements. All these components help in giving more smooth touch to your message. You must understand that the message you’re going to use is for your audience that matters for your business. 

However, the effectiveness of your message advertising depends on the tools and promotion tactics that you are using. Therefore, you might face various pros and cons of it. But in the end, you’re going to use this magazine advertisement to target your audience and allow you to present compelling information affordably.

The world of marketing has changed much and yet, the mindset of humans hasn’t shifted ‘online only’ as much as we might think and, it’ll take years. As a result, combining ONLINE and OFFLINE touchpoints is the most effective means to reach and engage your most vital targets, at least for those at the top of the sales pipeline, for both retention and acquisition.

  • In the meantime, adept marketers are using multi- or omni-channel to reach their targets.
  • And many in fact, are using cover wraps to reach and engage even their most difficult targets.
  • Except for some cases, a blended touchpoint strategy always yields the biggest results.
  • To start, there are many targets who are near-impossible to reach via online platforms.
  • And, even if you ‘reach’ them, they are not very responsive (if at all) – all touchpoints aren’t equal.

In a recent side-by-side test of our cover wrap platforms vs. online-only channels, a long-time F500® client measured their results – i.e. sales team interaction via multiple CTA options.

  • Without question, our cover wrap (i.e. offline touchpoint sequencing) vs. their online-only channels delivered beyond the expectations.
  • Their results are shared below and, it was only exceptional news for them. They were very impressed and, the sales team loved it.

After considering cutting their online channels (for this target), we encouraged them to keep the online active, for many reasons – the COMBO will always produce the best results.

Why not? … it’s already built and frankly, the combination then provides the multi-touch of BOTH online and offline working together, in tandem. That’ll engage more targets, right?

  • Yes, of course.  So no, don’t cut the online, just because the offline platform delivered such astonishing results.
  • This F500® client was targeting a very high level CXO (c-suite) enterprise prospecting audience – very difficult.
  • They put their messaging on sequenced covers of Forbes® magazine and, literally put the vehicle in their hand.

They were having huge difficulties reaching this target and, having used our platforms, they engaged a platform to test the results.

And here’s what they got in return … 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, they continued both online and offline, fortifying their TANGIBLE offline touchpoints and, driving vital sales with their most important prospects.

They’re now looking at doing the same sequencing with the retention targets as well, which will produce an even better result.

That’s just a few of the many reasons to consider our cover wraps for your offline targeting and, remember, your sales force will thank you.  It works.

NOTE: Most people are very unfamiliar with the technology and targeting behind cover wraps and, most won’t read all the reasons.

So, let’s chat and, based on your target, we’ll share our 30+ years’ experience …

a) what works, b) why it works and, c) how you can use it smartest.

  • better support your marketing and sales teams,
  • reach and effectively engage your most vital targets,

As we head into 2020 and you begin planning your business’s marketing strategy, consider this: 

Cutting through the massive clutter online is one of the biggest challenges in marketing today – rising above your competition is the only way to build short-term and long-term relationships that will ensure consistent sales and revenue.

Luckily, there’s a solution that combines both online and offline marketing to create a lasting impression.

Tangible touch points are physical direct messaging of your brand that your targets can hold in their hands, enjoy, and find useful.  And, when combined with digital targeting, the combination bolsters targeted response and sales interactions.

That’s precisely what we specialize in here at Audience Innovation.

I’m often asked, “Why do companies use your tangible touch point strategies when digital marketing is so popular?”

The answer is simple – our tangible touch points lift your brand above the clutter and overwhelm and amplify the results of what you’re already doing online and, especially well-placed for hard-to-reach targets of value.

  • Here’s one example. One of our large enterprise technology clients had the following results from our most recent tangible touch point campaign:

    • A 59% CTA response! Compared with the meager 0.9% CTA response this client received with online-only marketing strategies, the tangible touch points were a huge success.

    • The key to this client’s success? …

    • The combination of offline and online that performs best these days – over and over again.
  • A few more quick examples, …

    • global interactive agency used our tangible touch points to engage their CXO/CMO targets by +47% vs. traditional digital-only marketing.

    • major online retailer used our platforms to engage their affluent consumer targets by +14% vs. traditional digital-only marketing.

    • global pharma provider used our platforms to engage their most vital patient targets by +29% vs. traditional point-of-care marketing options.

 

 

How do we get these incredible compounded results?

We call it “tangible targeted interaction” – delivering a series of valuable and engaging sequenced touch points IN-HAND to drive interaction for your sales force, website, video, social and other sales channels.

Best of all, it works well for nearly any vital target.

  • The touch points are welcomed and appreciated, causing heightened target interaction offline and online.

  • It’s stealth, like a Trojan horse – it gets you there, even when your sales force can’t get in the door.

  • Some call it THE “bridge to digital” as it stair-steps target interaction via welcomed, engaging touch points.

It’s exactly like putting your company’s multi-page ‘brochure’ directly in the hands of only your exact target audience and, with our welcomed tangible touch points, they keep it longer, they read it more, and they engage more.

RESULTS are proven over and over, B2B and B2C.

 

Take a look and, let us know when you have a target that may be a good fit.

We specifically focus on B2BAFFLUENTPHARMA and RETAIL/OOH targets (and all sub-segments).

We’re already planning for our client’s 2020 targeting platforms now, so…

  • Respond to this email for target info, ideas, or a proposal.

  • BOTTOM LINE – Tangible Touch Points Cause Tangible Results®

KEY Q’s to DISCUSS: – Who’s your vital target? – Do you have a data file? – What’s the best co-branding partner? – What’s the ideal start-up timing? – How many touch points will affect the best results? – Over what timeframe? – Sequenced online or not?
