Creative Critical Reflection draft #2

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My product engages audiences through the integration of social media accounts such as snapchat and through the use of an online website providing articles and latest tips on the go. The account on snapchat would include tid bits of the latest news and feature stories that readers may have high interest in. It also would interact with readers by posting small giveaways that readers can win. Polls can also be posted on the snapchat account of the magazine to engage and receive feedback on what kind of articles readers may be interested in seeing in the next issue. It allows the readers to be semi in control of what is published in order to keep a fresh repetoir of what is being published in order to keep readers hooked and entertained with the content. My product would be distributed through subscription services and through the usage of large chain stores to sell my product. Subscription only magazine distribution is an advantage because there is profit on a regular basis. I would charge a monthly fee for the distribution of one magazine each week. An example of a subscription magazine and retail sold magazine is Cosmopolitan Magazine. I could use this model because its a very effective and relatively cost efficient to distribute through subscription because i would only need to produce the number of magazines ordered through the subscription. Selling in large stores would also be advantageous to me because the magazine receives more exposure to readers and can be marketed easier since it is placed in areas of high traffic volume.
