10 Things You Need to Know about the GQ iPhone App in 10 Minutes Michael Hainey, GQ Jamie Pallot, Condé Nast Digital
1 How It Works
2 How We Worked
3 What They Did
Downloads: 6,781 (Dec); 15,112 (Jan) • Sessions/User: 4.65 • Time spent/session: 19 mins • Time Spent/Unique: 89 mins
4 What They Said
“I’m reading the magazine more than I ever have” • “Being able to click through on the ads was really useful”
5 What We Took Away
Aim for transparent interface • Consistent behavior from story to story - and across ads • Make it easy to go home, back, etc.
6 Follow the Leader
Take interface cues from popular Apple programs - users already familiar • Scrolling TOC from iTunes • Popover navigation from iPad Mail program
7 Use What You Got
Factor in existing assets and processes • Standard image sizes to allow dynamic re-formatting
8 The People Will Pay
New March version with in-app purchase - $2.99 • Individual issues going forward (and back) - $1.99 • Test different models as we proceed
9 We’re Ready for Big Brother
Integrated app for iPad/iPhone in April • iPad graphics create next-gen experience, but… • 100 M iPhone/Touch vs. 1-5 M iPad • Portability rivals graphic punch for some
MEMO TO: Michael Hainey, Jamie PallotFROM: Maurie Perl, SVP, Chief Communications OfficerDATE: 3/12/10RE: CooperationMichael, Jamie: I’ve been discussing this with senior management, and we feel the best way to communicate the close working relationship between print and digital at Conde Nast is for you two to embrace on stage. I believe the term is “hug it out.”Hope you’re both OK with this. If not – deal with it.Best,Maurie
