Anyone wishing to build long-term relationships with their target audience today must offer genuine added value. Purely promotional messages are no longer sufficient to secure lasting customer loyalty. If you want to produce a professional customer magazine, you are choosing one of the most powerful tools in strategic corporate communications. In the past, expensive printed editions dominated the market. Later, many companies tried to publish these online as simple PDF catalogues. However, this rigid and outdated format does not provide a good user experience, particularly on mobile devices.
With Novamag, you’re taking a much more modern approach. You can design interactive and responsive publications that look perfect on absolutely any device.
What is a customer magazine and what are its objectives?
A customer magazine is a journalistic publication produced by a company. It is specifically aimed at existing or potential customers. The focus here is not on aggressive product sales. Rather, the format provides useful information, engaging entertainment and in-depth insights into the brand’s world.
The main aim is to build trust. The aim is for readers to identify with the brand in the long term. A well-structured magazine positions your company as a genuine expert in your industry. It evokes emotions, creates transparency and measurably strengthens the loyalty of your readership.
Choose from a variety of interactive and responsive design templates for your customer magazine. We have the right solution for every requirement.
Create interactive and dynamic customer magazines
With Novamag you can create high-quality, interactive and customised customer magazines with just a few clicks and without any programming or graphics skills.
The benefits: successfully targeting B2B and B2C markets
This format works exceptionally well in almost all sectors. However, the focus of the content varies depending on the target audience.
In the B2B sector, decision-makers are looking for in-depth specialist knowledge. In your magazine, you can explain complex processes and present detailed case studies. Highlight concrete solutions to specific industry problems. This builds enormous credibility and actively supports your own sales team in their sales pitches.
In the B2C sector, the focus is on lifestyle, entertainment and emotions. You tell inspiring stories centred around your products. You provide practical tips for your customers’ everyday lives. In this way, your brand becomes a constant and highly likeable companion in consumers’ lives.
Print vs. Digital: Why the digital format is winning
Traditional printing on paper involves very high and ongoing costs. You pay a lot of money for layout, paper, printing and postal delivery. Furthermore, the content is fixed the moment it is printed. Errors can no longer be corrected.
If, on the other hand, you publish your magazine digitally, you have complete flexibility. You can update content in real time as and when required. You can reach your target audience worldwide without any additional distribution costs.
By far the biggest advantage, however, is measurability. Depending on the package you’ve booked, Novamag provides you with a comprehensive analytics dashboard. You no longer have to wonder whether your articles are being read at all. You can see exactly which individual pages are being viewed and for how long. You’ll immediately recognise which topics really captivate your readers and which articles are often skipped. This robust data set allows you to optimise every future issue with pinpoint accuracy.
