How The Business Herald engages readers
Qualitative research has found that the Herald’s business sections are perceived as having expertise, wisdom and intelligence. The advertising in Herald business sections is seen to be appropriate, well placed and aids the experience.
It gives me a good overview of what’s going on. It has some quite good in-depth articles on what a particular company or a particular industry is doing.
Business sections of the Herald engage readers strongly by ‘educating me’, also by ‘alters my thoughts and feelings’ and ‘absorbs me’. Check out the full Media Engagement Presentation for more consumer insights.
