ViVo Magazine’s unique identity is marked by the fact that it looks and feels like a national lifestyle title but is published specifically for communities of typically between 2,000 and 5,000 people.

The Market

Local media providers, such as newspapers and regional radio stations have seen a steady decline in advertising revenues over recent years. The onset of the web and news on demand has resulted in a change in the way people access local news and advertising spend has decreased accordingly.

However, consumer desire to enjoy a real, tangible, attractive media product is not dwindling. Consumers simply want a different media product to the one providing them with news and information they have already read online.

Local newspapers and magazines are struggling to adjust but ViVo Magazine is the different media product consumers are waiting for.

ViVo Magazine fills a gap in an evolving and highly lucrative market. By producing a magazine which boasts the quality hallmarks of a national publication but caters very specifically for a highly defined, local audience, ViVo Magazine sits in the sector of regional press which is widely acknowledged as being set for the highest growth in print media over the next 25 years – ultra local publishing.

Did you know, local newspapers claimed £600m in advertising revenues from the recruitment sector alone in 2005?

ViVo Magazine is not a newspaper. It is not a magazine off-shoot of a newspaper. It is an independently published, high quality publication which knows its audience better than any other form of regional media. Because of this, its readers devour every page with interest, respond favourably to its content and share an all together more personal relationship with the ViVo brand.

In one fell swoop, ViVo Magazine has placed its foot firmly in the future of the highly profitable and exhilarating world of regional publishing. We would like you to join us.
