Join us at The Mag Meet on 22 April, 1pm-2.30pm BST/8am-9.30am EDT to discuss pricing strategies with Abi Spooner
Are you pricing yourself out of the market because you’re too cheap or too expensive?
Come to our Mag Meet to discuss what to charge for your independent magazine, and what this says about its value to customers and advertisers.
Pricing strategies for indie publishers
Wondering what your cover price should be, or what’s the going rate for advertising in a magazine?
Pricing – and how we present it to our readers and advertisers – matters.
Come to our next online event, with Abi Spooner from Atlas, the recurring revenues growth consultancy, to get clear on your own strategy.
What we’ll discuss
- How to price your magazine with your costs and goals in mind
- Optimising pricing for long term value as much as short term needs
- Understanding where you stand: how to stand out from your competitors, as well as benchmark against the wider market
- Tiers, packages, offers, trials, discounts, upsells, downgrades – what you can offer customers and advertisers
- How to understand brand value perceptions – do your readers think you’re great value or too expensive?
- Understanding the mechanics: how different payment methods and frequencies can unlock growth
- Price increases: ways that help to keep readers while still increasing revenue. How to talk to your readers or advertisers about a price increase
- Why a pricing strategy is an essential tool
