Magazine Circulation and Readership<br />

Two of the most important considerations in deciding whether to use a magazine in the<br />

advertising media plan are the size and characteristics of the audience it reaches.<br />

message to as many people as possible in the target audience. To do this, they<br />

must consider the circulation of the publication as well as its total readership and<br />

match these figures against the audience they are attempting to reach.<br />
