MAGAZINES IN US DOCTORS OFFICES AND BEAUTY SALONS SCORE HIGH READERSHIP FIGURES ACCORDING TO STUDY

December 19th 2007 01:03

Media Daily News reports that a new study by McPheters and Co in the US shows that the proprietors of doctor's offices, beauty salons and places with waiting areas for customers find value in the magazines they distribute.
Most respondents say the publications generate substantial readership.
The study is intended to bolster the confidence of media buyers and advertisers in public-place copies, which are often dismissed as ‘junk circulation.’
Its sponsors include Bonnier Corp, Conde Nast, Hachette Filipacchi, Meredith, Time Inc, BusinessWeek, and the Magazine Publishers of America.

According to McPheters, on average each magazine is read by about 40 individuals per month; the average waiting room has 14 different magazines on display. However, it's unclear how accurate this data is, as it depends largely on the perceptions of the proprietors surveyed, rather than quantitative tracking of actual magazine use in public places.
A separate research initiative from Mediamark Research and Intelligence, announced earlier this month, aims to produce these kinds of quantitative results by placing radio frequency identification chips in magazines in public places.
