Declining magazine revenues over the last decade are due to decreases in advertising revenue and sales. The rise of new technologies like free online magazines, apps, and digital downloads have reduced sales as readers can access magazines without cost. Additionally, environmental concerns and higher distribution costs have encouraged readers to use more efficient digital options instead of printed magazines. For magazines to regain readership, they must expand their presence online and through apps, offer subscription packages with gifts, and experiment with new styles and interactive features to appeal to readers.
