Growth Opportunities

Upscale shelter magazines have long been an important resource for affluent consumers and the design trade for many years.

In a recent report for the upscale shelter category prepared by the Association of Magazine Media, they noted that the readership for Architectural Digest rose 47 percent in 2016. But it’s not just the national shelter titles like Architectural Digest enjoying success with readers. The entire shelter category grew 28.3 percent, in contrast to all measured magazine media, which saw its audiences grow just over 5 percent.
