NEW YORK, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Trusted Media Brands' Taste of Home and Family Handyman had their biggest month ever in April 2020, with record-setting performances.

Taste of Home, among the most popular U.S. food brands and the number one food magazine in the United States, reached 32.2 MM unique visitors, a 66 percent increase year-over-year and a 22 percent increase from last month. This record-setting month continues a streak of 34 consecutive months with year-over-year increases in monthly unique visitors. Taste of Home's growing digital audience is also highly engaged. The brand leads its competitive set in engagement, with an average view per visitor of 7.2 pages, which is two times more than the average site among its competitors.

Family Handyman, the #1 trusted source for DIY home improvement, reached 9.6 MM unique visitors, a 44 percent increase year-over-year and a 38% increase from last month. Family Handyman's DIY University, a direct-to-consumer product that offers curated online courses in home repair and renovation developed by experts, saw its transactions in April increase 53 percent and revenue rose 72 percent year-over-year. Some of the most popular classes included How to Power Your Home with Renewable Energy, How to Build a Backyard Shed and How to Build a Deck.

During these unprecedented times when Americans are being asked to stay at home, many are taking comfort in Home Basing—whether it's through stress baking, cooking with pantry staples and engaging kids in the kitchen, or checking off long-lingering home improvement projects or taking on new DIY projects to pass the time. In response, Trusted Media Brands' Taste of Home and Family Handyman have doubled down to provide service journalism and a calm voice in the face of this crisis. Across both editorial teams, that encompass culinary and home improvement pros and an extensive freelancer network that represents all regions of the country, the brands are creating engaging content that is resonating with its growing audiences.

"As we all find our way through these trying times, it's been so heartening to know that the work we do at Trusted Media Brands is helping people," said Beth Tomkiw, Trusted Media Brands Chief Content Officer. "Americans are coming to our sites in droves looking for ways to comfort their families, break up the monotony of sheltering in place and just find some sense of normalcy during this stressful time. We're so proud of the community we've built and the content we create."

In the last six weeks alone, Taste of Home has served up recipes for staples, like homemade bread, and encouraged readers to break the monotony with new meal ideas. The brand has provided info to help people stock their pantries smartly and get the most out of their grocery dollars with ingredient storage tips and budget-friendly recipes. They've also assisted readers in the midst of an impending meat shortage, helping them to stay calm and explore alternatives such as veggie burger recipes, easy vegetarian dinners, and vegetarian substitutes.

Taste of Home is tapping into its vast trove of home content to provide cleaning and disinfecting tips, along with ways to avoid germs at the grocery store. And since community is at the heart of the Taste of Home brand, it's also creating ways to help its audience stay connected with their communities and help those in need through content and challenges, including the Homemade Bread Challenge and When Life Gives You Lemons Challenge on Instagram.

In addition to a record-setting April for its website, Taste of Home was a top 10 brand for Total Brand Audience with a +45% year-over-year increase and the No. 1 brand in Video growth year-over-year with a +2,845% increase, according to AAM's Magazine Media 360 report for Q1 2020. This industry report measures nearly 100 U.S. magazines' audiences using MRI readership data and March comScore web data.
