From our own experience: No. magazine for six to nine year olds for a publisher. This is distributed to parents and children by partners, mainly in the retail trade. Free of charge. The circulation is over 300,000 copies. The paying customers are the distribution points that buy the magazine and use it to increase customer loyalty.
Based on the general assessment of free media, our qatar rcs data product would have to be a disposable item that is sloppily put together and then distributed to the masses. What costs nothing can't be worth anything.
The reality is different: No other publication is produced with the same effort. And with good reason: The target group (parents and their children) is particularly critical, there is an educational objective, mistakes are hardly allowed. If we do make them, we are punished for them. Because readers certainly don't think that you can write nonsense just because the magazine is free. And if they are dissatisfied, at some point it will be the person who pays for it. In other words: The challenge is exactly the same as with a paid medium.
