為iPad量身打造的旅游雜志 公司名稱：TRVL 所在地：荷蘭 網(wǎng)站：trvlzine.com ????紙價(jià)上漲,、廣告收入下降再加上訂戶減少,，總而言之，雜志行業(yè)的日子很不好過,。 ????不過,，iPad改變了這一切，它引入了發(fā)行內(nèi)容的全新媒介,。TRVL是一家總部位于荷蘭的英語雜志社,，主要關(guān)注全球旅游勝地，這本雜志約一年前創(chuàng)刊,，在業(yè)內(nèi)率先專門為iPad打造內(nèi)容,。 ????“我們倆毫無經(jīng)驗(yàn)，就開始在荷蘭創(chuàng)辦自己的雜志,，”聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人邁克爾?艾林斯稱,，“現(xiàn)在我們的讀者遍及全球193個(gè)官方承認(rèn)的國家中的170個(gè)，我們的下載次數(shù)可以與平板電腦上最熱門的雜志媲美,?！?/p> ????推出TRVL贏得了不少獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì)，艾林斯透露,，它是iPad上評(píng)價(jià)最高的消費(fèi)類雜志,。為了回饋?zhàn)x者的熱情反響，艾林斯對(duì)該應(yīng)用進(jìn)行了更新,，“全新的設(shè)計(jì)增加了全部25期往期雜志,，還改善了地理定位功能?！?/p> ????他說：“我們的下一個(gè)目標(biāo)是打入整個(gè)iOS平臺(tái),，包括iPad、iPhone,、Apple TV及Mac電腦,。” |
Making travel easier Company: TRVL Location: Netherlands Website: trvlzine.com ????Rising costs for paper, a decline in advertising, and fewer subscribers, have translated to hard times for the magazine industry. ????But the iPad changed all that, introducing a new medium on which to publish content. TRVL, a Netherlands-based, English-language magazine covering travel spots around the globe, was the first to provide content only to iPad users. It debuted about a year ago. ????"The two of us started making our own magazine from the Netherlands with no real experience," said co-founder Michel Elings. "Now we have readers in 170 of the 193 official countries in the world. And our download numbers compete with the best performing magazines on tablet." ????Launching TRVL has led to unique opportunities. It is the highest-rated consumer magazine on iPad, said Elings. In response to the enthusiasm, Elings updated the app with "a full redesign that includes all 25 'back issues' and added some better functionality with geolocation. ????Our next goal is to go after the whole iOS platform: iPad, iPhone and Apple TV, as well as the Mac," he said. |
