Irish magazines offer readers relevant content and there is great loyalty to indigenous titles”.

Aungier, CEO, Magazines Ireland said “Magazine shoppers spend
more in store than non-magazine shoppers, and also shop more frequently,
driving customers into store where they buy complimentary items such
as newspapers, lottery, confectionery, snacks and drinks, and thus
making them an ideal customer.
There is a bright future for magazines but it must be underpinned by continued investment in the category by all players within the supply chain and the Convenience Store and Newsagents’ Association are key players in the industry”.
