Modest Turnaround • Continued modest improvement is expected for the U.S. and worldwide advertising in 2003 • Gradual improvement in the economy • Relative improvement in ad activities
Modest Turnaround • If the business titles start rebounding, a cascade effect may result… • Financial advertisers may increase ad spending which may in turn fuel an increase in corporate ad campaigns which could further strengthen an economic recovery
What This Means... • Strategies become more important • As budgets tighten, it is very difficult to justify any expenditure if the program is not on strategy and does not deliver significant return • New area driving growth • Especially in Spanish-language media • Newspapers repurpose themselves • To capture a younger audience • Combat declining readerships
What This Means... • Demand for magazines in 2003 is currently estimated to rise 4% over 2002 • Any revisions to this are likely to be downwards given current economic outlook • The need for increased magazine ad revenue will be further underscored by increased out-of-pocket expenses • Postage, circulation, distribution, paper/production • The results: 2003 will continue to be a very competitive and negotiable marketplace…
Summary • Print remains a viable & vital medium • Despite the proliferation of media options, Print has held its own • Re-strategizing becomes more important • Magazines will continue to expand their revenue stream opportunities • Ad spend increase predicted for this year
