PAMCO "Audience Measurement for Publishers" latest data

PAMCO, (the leading audience measurement organisation for audience research in the UK) suggests that printed media is still very much alive and kicking despite the trend in publications converting to digital.
Digital readership levels for published media on smartphones is an astonishing 69% of all readers accessing news and magazine publications. Not far behind however is printed media (64%).
People just like magazines, they're tangible, they're colourful, bursting with images and content and highly readable by multiple people over the course of a magazines lifetime.
The same statistics organisation in a different study suggest that magazines on average pass through 9 different readers hands.
So to put it into numbers, if your garden centre distributes 10,000 magazines per year, the actual readership level of your marketing publication is closer to 80,000 readers.
