Conceptualizing and Measuring Magazine Reader Experiences
The Magazine Publishers of America and the American Society of Magazine Editors commissioned the Media Management Center in 2002 and 2003 to develop an industry study based on magazine readers' experiences. The aim: help the magazine and advertising industries understand and measure consumers' experiences when they read a magazine and how those experiences drive readership and advertising impact.
Using both qualitative and quantitative research, the Media Management Center identified 39 distinct experiences associated with magazine reading. The study concluded that stronger consumer experiences both increase reader usage and lift advertising impact.
Conceptualizing and Measuring Magazine Reader Experiences is one of the research papers that resulted from the Magazine Reader Experience study. It identifies and measures the rich set of multidimensional experiences associated with reading a magazine.
