m3Magazines
Services
As a full-service magazine publishing company, m3Magazines can handle your publication from start to finish. Hand us the reins and we’ll do the rest.
While you can certainly hire us for individual services, the efficiencies of handling vendor relationships and coordinating all aspects of production add up to major benefits for you — including saving you some serious money and staff time.
And did we mention we’re association experts? Take a look at the services below and see what we can do for you and your organization.
Content
m3Magazines is staffed with seasoned, professional journalists who know how to research, write and edit award-winning content that will resonate with your audience.
Sure, your staff and board have expert knowledge of your association’s industry, but can they write expertly about it? We can. Our writers and editors have worked for dozens of magazines over their careers, giving them the experience to craft concise, attention-grabbing copy.
Let us do what we do best so your team can focus on all of their many responsibilities and wear their many hats. We’ll make you look good (with or without a hat).
Design
Just as important as written content is design. When readers pick up a magazine, their first impressions are usually colored by the design. We can delight your members, impress your advertisers — and win you some awards in the process. Our magazine designers are award-winning professionals with magazine-specific expertise.
m3Magazines has experience with all kinds of associations, and we know how to present technical and specialized content in the most visually appealing ways possible. Let us show you how awesome your magazine can be.
Magazine Makeover
It’s important to refresh your look now and again. (Anyone who has watched all those makeover shows on TV knows that… What Not to Wear, anyone?) Magazines are no different, and it’s easy to fall into a design rut and let inertia set in. A little refresh of layouts and artwork can go a long way toward making your magazine appear fresh and modern, showcasing your association’s expertise in the best light.
Our magazine makeovers have not only won awards, they’ve impressed advertisers too.
Yay, more money for you!
Ad Sales
On paper, your magazine might look like a big expense — but it doesn’t have to be. In addition to the other cost-saving measure we provide, m3Magazines can revamp your ad sales program to bring you more revenue. Whether you want someone to completely take over your ad sales or provide you with better tools to do it yourself, we can help.
Can you imagine your magazine getting a 700% increase in ad revenue? We’ve done that! Using our professional sales team can also remove your staff from the process, allowing them to focus on their other tasks and allowing for better industry relationships.
Project Management
m3Magazines is staffed with seasoned, professional journalists who know how to research, write and edit award-winning content that will resonate with your audience.
Sure, your staff and board have expert knowledge of your association’s industry, but can they write expertly about it? We can. Our writers and editors have worked for dozens of magazines over their careers, giving them the experience to craft concise, attention-grabbing copy.
Let us do what we do best so your team can focus on all of their many responsibilities and wear their many hats. We’ll make you look good (with or without a hat).
Consulting and Strategy
We don’t just create amazing magazines — we can help make your magazine work for you.
m3Magazines provides magazine consulting and strategy services designed to help you generate more revenue, resonate better with your members and better position your association within your industry.
Our staff members have worked closely with association boards for years. We know the challenges you face, and we can help create custom solutions for your magazine. Let us help you with your magazine’s budgeting, goals and hopes.
Think of us as your magazine Fairy Godmother — without all that turning-back-into-a-pumpkin business.
Magazine Printing
We have strong vendor relationships that allow us to negotiate better discounts for your magazine printing services. Our economies of scale allow this — something that’s difficult to achieve with a vendor on your own. We use top-quality printers, too, so your readers will receive beautifully produced magazines.
And just as important is how we make the whole process easy for you. m3Magazines takes on the burden of managing the vendor relationship, from initial negotiations to payment, reviewing proofs and handling each project. No hassles.
Magazine Distribution
After your magazine is printed, you still have to get that magazine in the hands of your members and your industry. We can seamlessly coordinate that delivery — you provide the list, and we handle the rest.
Just like with our magazine printing services, we can provide you with discounts due to our scale of operations that you couldn’t get on your own. Whether you want us to store extra copies, do drop shipments or process one-time orders, we can handle it.
And if you want to add online magazine publishing capabilities? We got you covered. m3Magazines can take your print edition and turn it into a digital edition that can expand your advertising sales opportunities.
