Makeover
for 麻豆社 Good Homes magazine
麻豆社
Good Homes magazine has a new look from its May issue (on sale 5
April) and a one-off 拢1.50 national price promotion.
The
title has undergone major changes based upon the biggest research
project of its kind ever carried out, to help differentiate 麻豆社
Good Homes magazine in this crowded sector of the market.
The
research identified seven different kinds of consumer, which 麻豆社
Good Homes magazine will be targeting - including Eager Enthusiasts
(the most passionate about decorating and DIY), Family Jugglers
(keen to create a colourful home for their family) and Wannabees
(constantly looking for the latest home trends).
The
publication has been given a striking cover-to-cover redesign and
the new strapline - "Create the home you'll love to live in"
- encapsulates the mix of inspiration and practical advice that
is woven together throughout the title. Key features include:
路
Personal Shopper, which takes the legwork out of the major home
purchases.
路 Style Solutions, an in-depth look at a different room each
month, combining creative ideas, best buys and style trends.
路 What a Difference a Day Makes, how to use 24 hours and
拢250 to turn rooms from drab to fab.
麻豆社
Good Homes magazine will have a substantial increase in marketing
investment across the year and there will be a high level of spring
activity to support the new look May issue. The 麻豆社 Good Homes magazine
Roadshow is visiting Bluewater shopping centre near London and other
complexes in Newcastle, Manchester and Glasgow during March and
April, attended by TV celebrities including Handy Andy, Linda Barker
and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
As
well as the 拢1.50 price promotion, the May issue of 麻豆社 Good
Homes magazine offers a 15% discount on plants at FOCUS and the
chance to win a 拢5,000 Ikea Kitchen. The new look publication
will be supported by a continuing series of promotional activities
in coming months.
