4. Magazine Advertising Magazine advertising is the ads that people see placed throughout publications . Starting up or maintaining a magazine is dependent on a few factors, but one of the most important is advertising . Ad sales can make or break a publication, and nearly all magazines depend on the revenue generated by their advertisers to stay in business . The Pennsylvania Gazette, started in 1729 by Benjamin Franklin, was the first magazine produced in America to include advertisements

5. Essential Elements of Effective Magazine Advertising Simplicity is Key The worst print ads are the ones that use up every single bit of white space in the ad . It may be painful, knowing how much the ad is costing you, to leave some of it blank, but it helps build contrast and gives your message room to “breathe.” Keep fonts reader-friendly (NOT ALL CAPS), and only use one or two fonts in the ad. The same goes for accent colors; sometimes, more is just noisy and distracting in an already visually stimulating medium .

6. Essential Elements of Effective Magazine Advertising Use Balance to Please the Eye In advertising, balance comes from arranging the weight of the ad – the graphic elements – so that the eye isn’t hit with something that looks like it might fall off the page. It distracts from the message. Centering elements isn’t always a clear winner, either; most people are more drawn to ads that feature all elements aligned to the right or left.

7. Essential Elements of Effective Magazine Advertising Inspire Action Advertising is meaningless without a call to action. Lure readers in with simplicity, balance and a clear message, but then ask them to visit a website or call a phone number for more information. This is the part where QR codes that people can scan with their smart phones can stand alone as a call to action. Those little irresistible squares just beg for a web site visit, which also makes it easy to track the efficacy of your advertising media mix.
