What is print replica publishing?
Print replica publishing is a way to deliver your magazine to subscribers in brilliant digital format through Apple's Newsstand App. Print replica publishing is revolutionizing the publishing industry just like iTunes revolutionized the music industry. In fact, virtually every mainstream magazine is now being offered in Apple's Newsstand in print replica format. This is far, far different from having to connect to the internet and reading an article online. The digital publication is delivered automatically to subscribers' mobile devices with each new edition and displayed in a brilliant format that can be searched, bookmarked and stored indefinitely on the device.
The week Newsstand was launched, electronic subscriptions to The New York Times increased seven times. Most other main stream publishers also reported a significant rise in subscriptions in the wake of Newsstand's launch, including National Geographic, which saw its subscriptions grow fivefold. In short, Newsstand is doing for the publishing industry what iTunes did for the music industry. It is critical to be proactive and take advantage of this revolution.
How much does it cost?
We are able to offer professional associations and other non-profit corporations the opportunity to publish their magazines and journals in digital print replica format for a flat rate of $250.00 per issue. There is no set-up, hosting or other hidden fee. Alternatively, you can choose to publish your magazine for 15 cents per download. Again, there would be no other fees. It is completely up to you which price model you would like to adopt. We can accommodate traditional, members-only or free subscription models.
Best of all, we can publish the first three or four issues absolutely free without any kind of obligation on your part. This way, you can get an immediate and realistic feel for how digital publishing would work for you without spending a penny. If you don't think it is a fit, you can simply let us know, and we will terminate digital delivery. However, we are confident that you will be very enthusiastic about continuing with digital publication once you see how it works. (You can see an example of one of our magazines published in this fashion by clicking the following link: .) We can get this free trial going immediately while you ponder pricing options and other matters. Just send us an email with a pdf of the magazine you would like published.
A word about advertising:
Because of the extremely low price we are offering, publishers can afford to give subscribers access to the digital print replica version of the magazine in addition to the traditional print version. This keeps advertisers happy until they can be assured that viewership of their ads will not decrease if people opt out of paper delivery.
In reality, digital publishing actually presents the opportunity to increase advertising revenue. This is because digital publishing enables advertisers to take advantage of digital functionality to make their advertisements interactive. For example, advertisements can be embedded with hyperlinks that take interested readers to the advertiser's website or videos that offer more information. All of this increases the value of ads placed in the magazine and generates more advertising revenue for you.
