2. Introduction
As the world of media moves beyond its traditional
boundaries, media operators need to broaden their
thinking about potential revenue sources. In a connected
world, the possibilities transcend the classic advertising,
sales and subscription models.
Of course a key aspect of potential revenue streams is the
value creation that merits payment. While the general
categories of value added by media have not changed,
their relative importance definitely has. To understand
potential revenue models, you must also be clear on the
distinctive value add of your media offering.
4. Circulation
This is the money brought in the cover or retail
price of a magazine or a newspaper. The revenue
that comes in after deducting trade margins and the
cost of unsold copies. The ratio could change
depending on a no. of things like language, price,
and frequency.
5. Advertising
About 80% of publication revenue come from
advertising and the rest from the circulation. This
again could vary by language, frequency, price,
market etc. it addresses. The best way to look at ad
growth is to look at both advertising rates and
volumes.
6. Subscription
Inspired by publication like Readers Digest and magazines like
Outlook and A&M launched high profile subscriptions scheme.
Earlier these were treated as a revenue stream. The fact is that
most subscriptions schemes are subsidised with free gifts. While
they do bring in cash, they also involve a huge cost of more
copies to be printed and transported.
Subscription schemes are really about buying circulation. That
is unless the magazine is actually making a profit on every copy
sold and spent to subscribers which it does not. Most
subscriptions schemes are used to ramp up circulation no. and
then used to demand a higher rate from advertiser.
7. Brand extensions
There are several ways in which a magazine or a
newspaper can expand the same brand to top into
differently revenue streams. Events to programs, CDS,
seminars, roundtable, syndication of content. This is
specially true for specialised magazines or papers.
“For us they all started off by helping the print brand
grow. Now they contribute to the top line and bottom
line.”, admits Shyam Malhotra, director of cyber media, a
specialist technology publisher firm.
8. Online Medium/Internet
Most Indian newspapers and magazines do have a
presence on Internet. Although many don’t even
think there is much the Internet can do. The net is a
very hyped up medium. It is not a threat to print
media, it is a threat to T.V. because access time is
entertainment time. Newspaper are part of routine.
The no. for revenue and cost and therefore, margins
vary depending on several factors.
9. Position
Publication that are no. 4 or 5 in a market are
usually the worst off. In Kolkata, the market leader,
Telegraph gets the lion’s share of ad revenues
directed at the city because of its top position.
10. Language
Most leading publications languages like Malayala
Manorama have a high circulation. That means
extremely high printing costs. Typically, even top
language brand can’t change more than, say one-
third mandate amount of wages to be paid to
journalists.
11. Niche v/s Mass
Circulation revenue for the niche magazines as a
percentage of total revenue could be much higher
than the usual 10-20%. The price insensitivity also
makes niche magazines less dependent on
advertising revenues.
12. Conclusion
At the core of the framework is the concept that
the more value added the more revenue that can be
generated. While most newspapers offer the same
types of revenue-generating formats from
classifieds to subscriptions, in order to successfully
benefit from them, it’s important to know which are
valuable to users.
