The Mobile Craze
Readers are continuing to show publishers that they prefer mobile reading over e-readers, app, and desktop reading.
Navigating The Mobile User Experience
MediaPost explores this trend in a recent post, citing that “Audiences consuming magazine media in print, digital and on the web dipped in August 2018, per the MPA. Mobile web and video magazine audiences continue to climb.”
Readers are shifting more towards mobile, as it offers the most flexible reading experience. Providing readers the ability to read wherever are among the many beneficial features of digital subscriptions.
MediaPost went further in their explanation, writing, “Audiences are increasingly moving from large to small screens: mobile web audiences — unique visitors that visit a site on a mobile device — grew 11.8% this August, compared to August 2017.”
Proving steady growth in the mobile market points to more reasons why publishers should focus on mobile reading—reading on a phone without the use of an app—and how to make their magazines fit this accessible mode.
