“We have increased our consumer media spend for the first quarter”

Redan Publishing’s Julie Jones on the importance of reminding parents/carers of the endless opportunities magazines offer children.

As we begin to move through 2023, LicensingSource.net asks a selection of licensees how they are looking to make the most of the first quarter of the New Year despite the wider challenges that everyone is facing.

Today: Julie Jones, md, Redan Publishing.

“We think it’s going to be a tough trading time, with our consumers tightening their belts and really watching their discretionary spend. Despite this, it’s important for us to constantly remind parents/carers of young children that we have fabulous content in our magazines that is great value and provides endless opportunities for children to learn in a fun and rewarding way.

We have increased our consumer media spend for the first quarter and we will be attending a local Kids’ Fest to actively encourage and draw our target market to our magazines. We are also running a nationwide competition across our portfolio to win one of ten children’s tablets which will be supported by a complete MU take-over in Tesco stores, again to increase awareness and draw consumers in.”
