Traditional Distribution

A magazine can be distributed to the public in a number of ways. Most magazine companies have a certain schedule for when and where they release a new magazine. Most magazines are financed by advertising, by a consumer directly purchasing it, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.
A magazine usually uses the same standard sizing being 8 3⁄8 in × 10 7⁄8 in (210 mm × 280 mm). Some magazines even prefer to be peer reviewed. This usually gets done by academic professionals who know how to fact check and make sure that grammar is correct.

 Magazines can be distributed through the mail, through sales by bookstores, newsstands or other locations, or through free distribution at selective locations. 

 Non-Paid circulation is where there is no price for the magazine and they are just given away. An example of this would be street dispensers, planes/airlines, or maybe just a waiting room of a dentists office. Free magazines exist mostly for advertisement. Usually, the free magazines are older releases that have been out for a while. But if you are sitting in a waiting room with nothing else to do, why not just grab a magazine.

Audience Engagement Post- Arizona Highways

Image
 The magazine Arizona Highways uses Twitter to sell shirts, books, and stickers. I like how the T-shirt can be for both boys and girls so that anyone can buy it. Although This shirt only comes in one size. It probably cannot be worn by everyone. If my magazine could sell clothes, I would want to sell baseball style caps with creative logos on the front. Caps can be worn by boys and girls, and they can be adjusted accordingly. Hats would be more efficient because they come in one size. Hats are normally not that expensive too.

My Target Audience

The audience my magazine is targeting is for any ages, but the people who may be the most interested in it would be teenagers. This is because most of the content is bases on clothes and activities that teens like to use and do. Although any age group would enjoy looking through my magazine, teenagers could get the most out of my pages. Specifically, this magazine is for teenagers that are traveling and want to be with the current style and fashion of 2020. Most of the content viewed at in my magazine is based around more feminine styles and activities. This magazine will probably draw the attention of young teens that like to be up to speed with the latest trends.
