Ah, finally a snack that keeps you looking the sassy, sexy version of yourself you’ve always wanted. Zinio gives us tasty snack reading of fashion magazines like Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmo and Viv Mag accessible on any and every one of your digital devices; mobile, laptop, iPhone, iPad and more.
Not only can you read on the run but Zinio’s technology makes reading on small screens so much better than the ‘ole zoom, move to the right, move to the left on your mobile.
When we checked out the prices of the digital editions we found you can get a year’s subscription for Elle magazine for a mere $ 8.00, when it would cost you $ 56.00 on the newstand. And once you buy it you can watch it on any of your devices. Just because you downloaded on your laptop doesn’t mean that it is the only place you can read it. (Bill Gates are you paying attention?) Your digital copy stays “in the clouds”, so you can download it again on your iPad, iPhone, you name it. Zinio has a free iPhone app from the iTunes store.
What’s very cool too is that Zinio’s Viv Mag is ultra interactive. The front cover comes alive like you’ve never seen before. When you read an article and see a photo of a model wearing the boots you HAVE to HAVE, guess what? you click on the photo which will take you to the info as to what store you can buy it or the website you can order it. How cool is that?
Girlie Gadget Approved! Viv Mag and Zinio are great products and have a huge future. Zinio and Viv Mag are going to make our fashion lives that much easier and faster to get to the kind of fashion that we want to be wearing and out on the streets with it as soon as we see it in the magazine.
We interviewed Jeanniey Mullen, Global EVP, CMO of Zinio and Viv Mag who showed us just how this works.
