A media kit is simply an information packet that details specific information about your magazine and demographic that helps an advertiser determine a correlation between your core readership and the advertiser’s consumer base. You can think of a media kit sort of like a resume for your magazine that contains pertinent information on your readership, important metrics, data, articles, etc., designed to address questions from advertisers, investors, the media, and others.
Media kits aren’t just for large, high-profile magazines. Whatever your size or overall circulation, whether you are in the planning phase, a recent start-up, or have already launched your magazine, you will certainly need a media kit that is optimized for achieving your advertising goals.
Creating a good media kit is a little like preparing a good meal.
