In the rapidly changing magazine market PORTER's performance is even more remarkable - demonstrating its continued relevance and unique appeal.
Since its launch in February 2014, PORTER has continued to produce world class editorial content with inspiring interviews with incredible women, authoritative fashion and a truly global perspective, as well as an innovative shopping experience.
Editor-in-Chief Lucy Yeomans explains, "At PORTER, we have always aimed to be 100 percent on the side of our 'woman.' This informs the way we tackle every single story, be it a feature or fashion shoot, to the type of events and brand extensions we offer, such as the recent launch of PORTER's Incredible Women Talks, and it is wonderful to see this approach yielding such a positive result. This sense of helpfulness and offering a service to our woman is further enhanced by the shopping technology that powers our digital edition, and allows readers to buy or find with ease every product they see and love on the printed page."
PORTER's innovative use of technology enables readers to shop directly off the pages or via the brand's iPhone, iPad and Android apps in real time and experience delivery within hours. 78% of readers interact with the shoppable elements of the magazine, demonstrating PORTER's understanding of how women actually want to shop and consume media in a digital age. Indeed digital edition sales have grown by +45% YOY.
A strong overall circulation figure is a result of a clear strategy of building a loyal base of High Net Worth women (total subscriptions grew +30% YOY) who continue to respond well to PORTER's unique celebration of stylish and intelligent women everywhere.
NET-A-PORTER Group's Vice-President of Publishing & Media, Tess Macleod-Smith explains, "These latest figures from BPA Worldwide confirm what we here at PORTER already knew, that busy stylish women today are looking for a magazine that delivers inspiring content together with effortless, instant shoppability. Strong subscription and digital growth, alongside an impressive overall circulation increase puts us in a strong position at the start of 2017, and we predict further growth for the PORTER brand as we continue to build on our reputation as media innovators and leaders in content and commerce."
PORTER's latest issue celebrates "women taking charge" (from Russian supermodel turned tech philanthropist Natalia Vodianova to British architect Amanda Levete) - a very relevant subject at this particular moment in time and one that the team are passionate about creating.
