As tech industry observers like to note, the world of apps is wild and wacky. There are almost two million apps in the Apple and Google app stores. If you pick up or click to pretty much any tech publication these days, you’re guaranteed to see at least one app review, to help bewildered consumers navigate this crowded field.
Of course when you read those articles, you’re getting a lot of personal opinion, and in tech land, much of that turns out to be excitement over flashy technology – no surprise there. So what kind of apps do people want, really? For magazine publishers, the answers are fairly simple.
Even though digital magazines are hardly new, they certainly have blossomed in 2014. In our very recent Mequoda Digital Magazine Market Study, we surveyed more than a thousand digital magazine readers and subscribers to find out what they want in a digital magazine. The results weren’t totally shocking to us, however what was shocking is how few digital magazines out there know what their susbcribers want. And, who haven’t tailored their marketing messages to take advantage of the number one reason people subscribe to digital magazines.
These digital magazine publishing posts dive into digital magazine creation, publishing, and monetization. They are currently our most popular articles about digital magazine publishing.
