Editor's Notes
Everyone Loves MagazinesThe simple fact of the matter is that everyone loves to read quality magazines. They are specifically designed for unique tastes, cheap to purchase, and contain information that one is unlikely to find elsewhere. Also important to consider is that it takes the average reader 42 minutes to read an issue cover to cover. There is no doubt that when a reader uses 42 of their minutes to engage with their favorite magazine, they are actively participating in an intimate monthly ritual similar to that of checking one’s email in the morning or catching the nightly news before bed.Besides the intimacy of this ritual, another aspect that separates magazine readership from other forms of media consumption is the fact that when one is reading a magazine, it is extremely difficult to multi-task with other forms of media. Because users pick up magazines to read articles or learn about specific topics that interest them, they tend to shut off alternative noise to avoid distraction while consuming content.
MPA Factbook PDF page 70: AVERAGE TIME SPENT - Engagement metrics for digital editions are closer to magazines for time spent, in contrast to shorter grab-and-go website visits.
PURCHASE INTENT: MPA Factbook PDF page 31Magazine Readers are Super Influential ConsumersThe Power of Magazine Engagement• Magazines outperform every other medium in consumer engagement, trust and, by a wide margin, ad receptivity. • Magazines most consistently generate the lowest cost ROI for purchase intent across categories. Readers are more likely than users of other media to influence friends and family on products across a variety of categories. • Magazine ad recall has increased by 11% and action-taking has increased by 10% over the past four years. When consumers read magazines they are much less likely to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the internet. And more than half of all readers act on magazine ads, according to Affinity Research.• Magazines are also most likely to complement the web in reaching social networkers, increasingly favored in generating buzz.Source: MPA Handbook

"Esquire is special because it's a magazine for men. Not a fashion magazine for men, not a health magazine for men, not a money magazine for men. It is, and has been for sixty-eight years, a magazine about the interests, the curiosity, the passions, of men. It has no limitations other than the imagination and intelligence of its writers and editors. Esquire is less restricted, less predictable, than any other magazine and has its single goal to thrill and challenge its readers."David Granger, Editor in Chief
