Be the Topic of Conversation This Summer
Issue 64 hits home in the heart of summer—right when everybody starts seeing red, white, and blue, and conversations are centered around upcoming outdoor barbecues, Fourth of July happenings in the community, and how kids are passing the time outside of the school halls.
To help you take advantage of the timing, we’ve created pin-worthy content for you to include in your magazine and to share via e-mail and social media—expanding your reach beyond the magazine.
Introducing Content Themes for Issue 64
Brand new—and a special edition exclusive—are content themes that break the boundaries of articles in the magazine and offer many opportunities to follow up and connect with recipients on a more personal level. Content themes are added value pieces that allow you to offer an appreciated extra that’s timely, worthy of sharing, and likely to spark a conversation.
Exclusive Content—Not Found in the Pages of the Magazine
Each theme offers a Front Cover that sets the tone. Unlike our standard Front Cover that ties directly to an article within the pages of the magazine, these theme-driven Front Cover options connect only to the coordinating Back Inside Cover, Back Cover, and Tear Out Cards within that theme. Because of this, we don’t suggest using a theme-driven Front Cover without a Back Inside Cover, Back Cover, or TOC to support it.
Check out the example shown on the right to see what a fully themed cover selection would look like. →
You can select any Back Cover, Back Inside Cover, or Tear Out Card from a party theme to pair with a standard Front Cover, a listing Back Cover ad, or any other collateral. All party theme back covers and Tear Out Cards have links to the downloads page, so they can function as stand-alone pieces. We’ve also created some extras beyond the party themes that are perfectly timed for summer.
Downloads Page for All Your Summer Printables
To support the ideas and images found in Issue 64’s content themes, we’ve created a downloads page full of printable decorations to match the look of all six party themes—all you have to do is print, cut, and enjoy. Your recipients will be directed to this page through the back covers and Tear Out Cards you choose and have access to all downloads on the page. You can also share the link via e-mail or social media as an extra way to connect.
