You’ve heard it over and over again: “Content is King.” But you may wonder how your business should go about integrating content into your overall marketing strategy. With so many content marketing tactics available, deciding the best way to distribute your content can be a daunting task.

If your business objectives include connecting and building meaningful relationships with a specific audience and sharing valuable, high-quality content that is relevant and resonates with them, then a custom publication may be the answer for you.

Custom magazines are similar to traditional magazines in look and feel but are sponsored, produced and issued by a company or brand with the intent of brand building, relationship building and establishing a position of authority or thought leadership on a particular topic. Created in both print and digital formats, custom magazines draw the audience to your products and services while also providing solutions to their problems along with other relevant information. Nearly any industry or business sector can benefit from custom publishing; from banking to healthcare to retail, any business that wants to generate leads, educate and retain customers, sustain internal communications or support sales can benefit from a custom magazine.

Consumers are on board with custom magazines as well. According to the Custom Content Council:

• 90% of consumers find custom content useful

• 78% of people believe that organizations providing custom content are interested in building good relationships with them

• 77% understand that the goal for these organizations is to sell them something but are okay with it as long as it provides value

A custom magazine allows your business to strengthen relationships with existing clients, target new clients and debut new products and services. The benefits of custom publishing are undeniable. Let’s get started!
