Purpose and Methodology
This analysis investigates the usage of print magazines by retail advertisers,
and explores the dynamics that can impact advertising engagement.
Methodology
• Analysis includes all ads measured by GfK MRI Starch in 2013, except
where noted.
• Includes retail product categories V31-V63, which includes online retailers
and wholesale clubs. Retailers with multiple product lines are counted
individually, ie Macy’s Household is counted as a separate advertiser from
Macy’s Men’s Apparel.

Monthly Tracking
•
•
Despite the increased advertising in the Spring and Fall Fashion issues, and holiday
months, the monthly tracking of key starch metrics remains consistent month over
month.
The data suggest that shopping is a year-round endeavor; readers are always in a
shopping mode for something, which may be one of the primary draws to magazines.

Top Retail Advertisers
•
The table below lists the most active retailers in print, as measured by Starch.
•
The coupon that appears in almost all of Bed Bath & Beyond’s print ads helped propel it to the top of the
list for recall, driving action, and purchasing the product among this list.
•
The highest score for Purchase goes to Harbor Freight Tools, not because they ran the most ads, but
because their ads showcase an average of 30 products, each displayed as if it were a coupon. In
addition, a 20% off coupon is included in every ad. (More on this later.)

Relationship of In-Market Shoppers to Ad Engagement
•
Are readers who are in-market for a product more likely to engage with a retailer ad?
•
Starch’s battery of brand influence questions can help answer that question. Asked at the
beginning of the survey, the Brand Influence questions measure respondents’ pre-existing
opinion of the brands whose advertisements were present in the issue. The brand
disposition questions do not reference an ad but rather ask the respondent about the brand
itself. There are four possible response options:
•
•
•
•
•
I would recommend it
I plan to buy it soon
I bought it in the past two weeks
None of these
By looking at the difference in scores between Noters and Non-Noters of an ad, we can
gain some insight into the relationship between in-market readers and ad engagement.

Ad Engagement and Purchase Behavior
In-Market shoppers can be defined as readers who either recently Purchased a Product or those who Plan to Buy soon. By
looking at the difference between Noters and Non-Noters of ads, we can gain some insight into how previous purchase
behavior or purchase intent can influence ad recall.
In the example for Sephora, the difference between Noters and Non-Noters for Bought and Plan to Buy is +4 points and +6
points respectively. In other words, 9% of Noters had purchased a product at Sephora within the past 2 weeks, whereas only
5% of Non-Noters had purchased a product.

The table below highlights the difference in percentage points between Noters and Non-Noters of in-market shoppers for the
most active retail advertisers. In every case, the percentage of in-Market readers was higher among Noters vs Non-Noters.
(The positive score means that Noters were higher than Non-Noters.) Although these differences look small, they can add up
to big dollars. For example, the difference for Macy’s equates to over 300,000 potential shoppers. If each of those shoppers
spends an average of $50, Macy’s is losing out on roughly $15M dollars of incremental revenue.
These data strongly suggest that readers who engaged with store ads are more likely to have shopped or plan to shop at
those stores than those who did not.

The Impact of Coupons
• In 2013*, there was a total of 621 retailer ads with coupons. As the chart below
illustrates, coupons are highly effective at generating reader action, notably in
Purchase and Purchase Consideration.
• Who is King of the coupon? Harbor Freight Tools ran a total of 287
coupons last year. More familiar to the non-tool enthusiast are the 20% off Bed
Bath & Beyond coupons, which came in a distant second with 57 ads.

Trend Spotting: More Multi-Product Ads
• A comparison of retailer ads in 2012 and 2013 reveals a greater number of multiproduct ads. In 2012, 55% of retailer ads were multi-product; in 2013, that
percentage increased to 66%.
• This strategy allows for promotion of many products within a single unit and
creates the feel of catalog shopping for readers.
• The data below suggest that multi-product ads may make a retailer ad more
memorable.

Spotlight on
•
Last year Macy’s ran a total of 238 ads across 188 issues. Within the company brand name, there were 31 brand campaigns.
The largest ones were Women’s apparel (60 ads) and Men’s apparel (39 ads).
•
Four of the five highlighted ads feature multiple products within a spread unit. As stated earlier, this strategy allows for promotion of
many products within a single unit and creates the feel of catalog shopping for readers. Also, not surprisingly, the highest scoring ads
for Noting and Visit website occurred in December issues, capturing readers’ interest in ideas for Holiday gifts.
•
Over the past two years, Macy’s ran more multi-product ads within their total ad mix. In 2011, 63% of Macy’s ads were multi-product,
whereas in 2013, 73% were multi-product.
