Women’s Titles Paid Subscriptions On the Rise
ABC’s Rapid Report has some promising news for Women’s Titles. Paid subscriptions saw meaningful improvement during the second half of 2009. Most major titles in the Women’s category saw slight to moderate increases compared to the same period the year before. The titles that saw the biggest increases are Time Inc.’s InStyle, Meredith’ Siempre Mujer, Condé Nast’s Glamour, and Hearst’s Cosmopolitan and Seventeen. Alongside the paid subscription increase, total paid and verified circulation for the category remained stable. Industry experts predicted that the steep Newsstand decline we saw last year would start to slow down in the second half of 2009, and it appears they were right. ABC is scheduled to release its latest Fas-Fax report next Monday. Folio 2/4/2010.
