Industry Analysis
Reaching Readers on a Digital Platform
According to State of the Media 2012, Time Inc. reports while print remains the primary source to access magazine content, 15% of readers access their content only in digital form, while 30% read both online and in print. Print-only readers still make up the majority of readership. As illustrated in Figure 1, other content providers seem to be seeing similar trends. How consumers are accessing content translates to where revenue is coming from. PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that in North America consumer magazines brought in just $4 million from digitalcirculation in 2011, and $9.2 billion in print circulation revenue.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Monetization
Despite audience growth, monetization of digital content remains a challenge (see Figure 4). Magazine publishers are using tablet subscriptions, print-tablet subscription bundles and other paid content approaches

Apps
The number of magazine iPad apps has risen sharply reaching 1,159 in early 2012, as illustrated in Figure 2. Magazines have been faster than newspapers or business publications to develop apps. In August 2011, Time Inc. announced that it would put out tablet versions of all 21 of its magazines by year end, which it successfully accomplished.

SITUATIONANALYSIS

Apples Impact
Apple, creator of the iPad the first mobile tablet computer to receive commercial success, continues to shape the market for tablet applications. Apples decision to allow publishers to sell magazine subscriptions in iPads, rather than just single copies, has fueled many magazines to develop apps. Virtual storefronts, such as Apples iOS Newsstand, have helped magazine publishers grow their digital subscription bases. As illustrated in Figure 3, 47% of magazine publishers feel that Newsstand helps their businesses, while 44% are indifferent about the value of Newsstand.

Figure 4

Alternative Audience Growth

Apples Newsstand is one tool for growing audiences, but other publishers opt for launching Facebook applications to grow audiences. One such venture is Newsweeks The Daily Beast. Publishers are also using aggregators such as Flipboard, which raise the visibility of republication. Some see aggregators as competition because they combine information from lots of different content providers into one place. Five big magazine publishers have teamed up to create the Next Issue app. Much like how Netflix works, app users will pay $10 per month to access the latest full issues of 27 magazines. For $5 more a month, users can also access a number of popular weeklies. The app provides a 30-day free trial and has received praise from TechCrunch and Forbes, which said Magazine fans, rejoice: Next Issue, probably the easiest and most economical way for you to read your favorite titles...

Consumers and App Usage

According to eMarketer, the number of paid app downloads will increase over the year.

SITUATIONANALYSIS

According to an eMarketer report, currently almost 80% of all tablet users have purchased apps for their tablets. This currently accounts for a quarter of all app downloads. Forty-three percent of all app downloaders spent over $20 on apps in the last year, and 23% spent more than $50. pps between $0.99 and $2.99 will make up 96% of paid apps in 2016. When talking to tablet owners, over half expressed interest in purchasing established media content such as TV shows, newspapers and magazines. About half of the respondents who use newspaper or magazine apps on their tablets said that they would prefer to pay for apps with less or no advertising. Seventy-nine percent of people who downloaded apps paid for content. According to ComScore, tablets accounted for just 1.8% of US newspaper site traffic in May 2011. Ninety-two percent of magazine subscribers still get their publications in print and prefer print. As tablets become more popular, a growing number of consumers are considering switching their subscriptions over. More than 90% of of online newspaper readers consider news content somewhat or very valuable. However, when it comes to paying out of pocket for content , most consumers would pass. A Nielsen study found that only 36% of responded has paid or would consider paying for an internet-only news source. Adweek Media/Harris Poll study noted that only 23% of US Internet users were willing to pay for online news. Consumer attitudes toward paid content, and specifically mobile paid content, are slowly shifting. Overall all, the financial outlook for paid magazine apps looking like it is going to go up.

As this still holds true, the number of iPad tablet users has decreased from 81% to 52% over the past year. It appears that the Apple iPad has lost many of its users to the Android. Even though the number of iPad users may be decreasing, the amount of tablet users is increasing and will continue to do so. In fact, eMarketer.com estimates the number of tablet users will increase from 34 million in 2011 to 70 million at the end of 2012.

DOWNLOADS AMONG MOBILE DEVICE USERS

A study by eMarketer, released August 2012, compares app downloads in February 2011 and April 2012 among mobile device users in Canada. The study shows overall app download activity among smartphone users remains uniform from 2011 to 2012. Most smartphone users download an app less than once a month. In contrast, tablet users download activity varies greatly from February 2011 to April 2012. Still it is important to note that tablet users are more likely to download an app a few times a week than smartphone users. To gain a more accurate understanding of mobile users app behavior, it is also important to analyze how paid apps and in-app purchases affect mobile consumers.

These statistics are originally published by ABI Research February 2012, in their Mobile Application Business Model study.

SITUATIONANALYSIS

Consumer Analysis
Quantitative Research
A convenience-sample survey with 35 tablet owners provided the information included here. It was particularly interesting to note that the majority of those surveyed prefer buying individual issues of magazines buying subscriptions, but that their preferred price to pay for apps is lower than the single-issue price for the Nat Geo app, which suggest they may be unwilling to buy issues for this reason.

Which magazines do you read on your iPad, and what made you purchase these apps?
Sports Illustrated, SPIN. I already had a subscription to SI, which I could use on my iPad. I liked the layout and interactive features the digital subscription of SPIN offered. Entertainment Weekly, free with print subscription Glamour, Time, Real Simple, I already subscribed to them in the paper versions so the iPad version was free. Wired, Nat Geo, GQ, New Yorker, Atlantic, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Time. Already have print subscriptions to these magazines.

Take away: Most people have migrated from the print to the app.

SITUATIONANALYSIS

Consumer Analysis
Qualitative Research
Through in-depth interviews our goal was to uncover the motivations and barriers toward buying apps, specifically paid digital magazine, among current tablet owners. In the five interviews with a variety of individuals with tablets, not just iPad owners, we found key similarities that verified our secondary research and added some additional insight.

Reasons for Tablet Ownership

Although many of the interview respondents said they bought their tablet for business reasons, they still admitted it was very much an entertainment gadget, too. For an online professor in New York, he said the on-the-go portability really helped in stay in constant communication with his students. In addition to its practicality for his job, he excitedly shared how much he loved being able to stream movies and TV shows wherever. Mike was not the only business professional who used the iPad as a tool for work. Another respondent said he used the special software available on the iPad as an excuse to buy his tablet. He considered it a luxury item that he didnt need to have, but he certainly appreciates it convenience. Another reason for owning a tablet was receiving it as a gift. One respondent said her husband bought her the Kindle since she loved to read. However, she still prefers reading the hard copy versions perhaps in part to her lack of Wi-Fi at work.

Attitudes Toward Digital Reading

For the respondents who bought their tablets themselves, they seemed more receptive to reading digital versions of books and magazines. The key advantages was the larger text, interactivity, ondemand downloading and compact size for easy portability. Although some respondents still said they preferred print versions, they did appreciate that if they wanted the next title, they could simply download it from the Apple Store or Amazon. However, barriers to the digital reading still included the preference for the hard copy and issues with technology. When asked to compared reading a digital or a print magazine, almost all of the respondents associated the tactile experience of a print magazine that could not be replaced. Then for those who had issues connecting with Wi-Fi or worried about battery life, reading the hard copy of something was not only better, but easier.

I bought it to help me with work, but it is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. I absolutely love media. I love movies, TV shows and because of Netix I can watch them whenever. Since I am constantly doing things, my free time could be 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. I have to have exibility.

WHO
Curious Travelers - Current tablet owners who have graduated from college and earn more than $75,000 a year. This is a psychographic target, but ideally, members of this group are within the age range of 35-54. Curious Travelers are business travelers, and they are considered ambitious business professionals. They are in a comfortable place in their career, climbing upward, and they consider themselves successful. Members of the target are familiar with National Geographic magazine because of its prominence and popularity when they were growing up. They have disposable time and income and are interested in traveling, photography and other cultures. They are passionate about learning. Curious Travelers care about how others perceive them and want to make a good impression. Curious travelers are technology savvy. As heavy smartphone and tablet users, they check email, access content on the Internet and play games on these devices. Curious Travelers are reading things online because its convenience ts their busy lifestyle . Technology is both a source of

CURIOUS TRAVELER

WHEN
This is a year-long campaign with a three month test period, September-October. Based on a successful test period, our next period is January - March and then April - June. We are avoiding the family travel months: December, July and August.

WHERE
Geographically, our campaign targets Delta Airlines major travel hubs for business professionals - like New York City, Atlanta and Minneapolis for our rst test period.

New York City

Atlanta

Minneapolis

Because we aim to target business travelers during their trip, our campaign will catch Curious Travelers in airports as well as at Marriott hotels (lobbies and rooms). This campaign focuses on places where the target has down time and have access to wi to easily download the National Geographic app. Our next test periods will focus on American Airlines hubs in Dallas, Los Angeles and Chicago, and U.S. Airways hubs in Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington D.C.

WHAT

National Geographic will mainly use outdoor/nontraditional tactics to reach Curious Travelers when theyre traveling. These tactics will catch them when they have free time to read through the app. Word-of-mouth tactics will also be considered in order to increase talk about the cool, interactive features the app offers.

HOW
Because Curious Travelers are at terminals and common travel locations often, well be reaching them with high frequency tactics. This campaign has low reach because were focusing on a very specic group of business travelers.

TACTICS

GIFTING
As an incentive to purchase the National Geographic yearly subscription, when a Curious Traveler buys a subscription as a gift for a friend, family member or coworker, they will receive a free one for themselves. This promotion is the call-to-action featured in each of the tactics. National Geographic will feature this gifting

RATIONALE
Not only does National Geographic get one reader, but theyll also receive another reader who the gifter believes will enjoy the magazine. Because of this, this tactic has high reach. Being able to give someone something has a positive, special association. A Curious Traveler will take advantage of this opportunity to give a National Geographic subscription to someone they know will enjoy it as much as him/herself. In return, the person receiving the gift is grateful. And, since the magazine app was referred to by someone they know well, theyre more likely to read the content and appreciate the interactive features.

BOINGO WIRELESS SPONSORSHIP

When Curious Travelers are visiting airports and hotels in our targeted cities (Atlanta, Minneapolis and New York City), theyre most likely using Wi-Fi on their tablets. So, National Geographic sponsors Wi-Fi through Boingo Wireless. After accessing the Internet, Curious Travelers are directed to a splash page which features a National Geographic video. The creation of the video is assisted by Boingo. Curious Travelers will see a video that shows the cool, interactive features of the National Geographic app to intrigue them into purchasing the app once they access the Web. The video will also contain a call-to-action and promote National Geographic's limited time gifting. National Geographic will have a full ad experience for Curious Travelers. A billable engagement through Boingo includes At least 15 seconds of a video If the user watches the full video If the user makes it onto a real Wi-Fi session

RATIONALE
While sitting in an airport or hotel, Curious Travelers want to browse the Internet and are going to try to access the WiFi. Boingo Wireless is a reputable public company that provides global Wi-Fi services. They have more than 400,000 hotspots worldwide, including hundreds of airports and thousands of hotels. This is a reliable source of Wi-Fi that Curious Travelers have to go through in order to access the Internet that they want. Because there is a login process to access Wi-Fi, National Geographic captures Curious Travelers at the point when theyre trying to use the Web. We have their attention for at least 15 seconds on the splash page to promote what the app has to offer. Curious Travelers want to access the Web, so were grabbing them as soon as they enter it. And, were targeting Curious Travelers not only when the Internet is accessible, but also when they have time to download and browse the National Geographic app.

AIRLINE LOUNGES
National Geographic will partner with Delta Airlines to promote their app and reach Curious Travelers. Specically, well be targeting airports in three large cities: Atlanta: Hartseld-Jackson
Minneapolis: St. Paul New York City: JFK

In each of the respective cities, Curious Travelers will see various advertising in the Delta Sky Club. Based on the Executive Media Network, well be using the following advertisements: Framed portrait posters
Experiential campaigns HD display ads

The ads will show off the the apps interactive features and include a call-to-action to purchase the app as well as promote the gifting tactic.

RATIONALE
Curious Travelers are constantly traveling for business. In fact, according to Executive Media Network, the average business traveler that comes into their reported lounges visit clubs about 5 times per month. These airline lounges are a good place to reach our target frequently since theyre visiting these locations often. EMN also reported that these average visitors are our target - upper-class business travelers. When they visit the lounges, their stay lasts about 1 hour and 41 minutes each time. Targeting airline lounges catches Curious Travelers during their free time - when theyre sitting around, waiting for their ight. The experiential campaign, specically, lets Curious Travelers actually interact with the National Geographic app. Letting them try out the engaging features can encourage them to purchase the app later. The framed portrait posters and the HD display ads increase awareness. When Curious Travelers are in these airline lounges, theyll see these ads frequently to

HOTELS
National Geographic partners with Holiday Inn hotels in our targeted cities: Atlanta, Minneapolis and New York City. Specically, well be utilizing the following hotels:
Atlanta - Atlanta Airport Marriott Minneapolis -Minneapolis Airport Marriott New York City - New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott

Hotels in Atlanta, Minneapolis and New York City all offer airport shuttles that cater to Curious Travelers and are less than 10 miles away from the airport. Stickers are placed on the cover of USA Today newspapers. These papers are delivered to each room in the hotel. The sticker promotes the National Geographic app as well as the gifting opportunity. There will be National Geographic branded table toppers with an attention grabbing photo and the same type of promotion featured on the sticker.

BIG IDEA
National Geographic will partner with Marriott to transform a Marriott hotel into a National Geographic adventure. National Geographic will decorate the lobbies, hotels rooms and elevators to give a Curious Traveler an unexpected adventure. In return for Marriott letting us transform their hotels, they will receive free full page 4C ad in National Geographic which is worth $236,730

RATIONALE
After a long day of meetings and travel, Curious Travelers go to their hotel to relax and unwind. We want National Geographic to be apart of that relaxation period. USA Today is a newspaper that is delivered to rooms in the mornings and is available in the hotel lobby. Since Curious Travelers mornings are a me time, taking advantage of daily newspapers theyre most likely going to read offers high reach and frequency. Also, since these Curious Travelers usually travel alone for business, theyre most likely going to take the USA Today with them to breakfast to read while eating. Theyll also see the table toppers during this down period as well. Were capturing Curious Travelers at this prime time when theyre relaxing and have the extra time to browse through things.

BUDGET

This campaign will run in three month intervals. The total estimated cost for one month for all the tactics would be $ ______ for ______ impressions. We estimated the total cost per month for each tactic: Boingo: $ ______ for ______ impressions for ______ days a month Airport Lounges: $ ______ for ______ impressions per month USA Today: $ ______ for ______ impressions for business days during each month Table Toppers: $ ______ for ______ impressions per month For a three month period, this campaign would cost $86,542.80 for 507,981 impressions.

SUCCESS MEASUREMENT
Success will be measured by the amount of subscriptions bought each month. The minimum numbers of yearly paid subscriptions needed varies by tactic: Boingo: ______% ______ subscriptions) of the total impressions per month Lounges: ______% ( ______ subscriptions) of the total impressions per month Marriott hotels (USA Today and table toppers): ______% ( ______ subscriptions) of the total impressions per month By reaching the Curious Traveler frequently and at specic touch points we anticipate our subscription rate will be higher than our benchmark for success. Boingo: ______% ( ______subscriptions) of the total impressions per month Lounges: ______% ( ______subscriptions) of the total impressions per month Marriott hotels (USA Today and table toppers): ______% ( ______ subscriptions) of the total impressions per month This would mean a total of ______ new subscribers per month which will bring in a net income of $ ______ per month.

LONG TERM
If the test run goes well, we plan on implementing the campaign during the following months in the following cities:

Months January - March

Airline American Airlines

Cities Dallas/ Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Chicago OHare Philadelphia, Phoenix, Washington D.C.

April - June

U.S. Airways

This campaign will not only reach Curious Travelers, but their friends and family who have received a National Geographic subscription as a gift as well. This will double the amount of people seeing the magazine. We are estimating a 40% renewal rate for Curious Travelers, their friends and family.
