Aliso Viejo, United States - November 17, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The MagCast platform allows users to self-publish magazine apps on the Apple and Google Play stores.

MagCast recommends their latest service for individuals or business owners interested in reaching new readers in their niche. The company says the topics that tend to do best have good depth, wherein newcomers, serious amateurs, and professionals are separated by clear boundaries, and breadth, which is characterized by the presence of sub-genres within a broader field.

Such topics will typically be non-transactional in nature and encourage immersion and discussion between consumers.

According to MagCast, there are several advantages to digital magazines: the first is that all magazine apps are available on the Apple App (iOS) and Google Play (Android) stores as paid content, allowing them to act as a source of revenue for the publisher.

Apps will also make content easy to access - with downloads making the content available offline. Additionally, readers will receive live updates whenever new issues are released. Lastly, because there is no printing cost with digital magazines, new readers are a continual source of new sales of back-issue content.

Aspiring publishers interested in listing their magazine on an app store can sign up for MagCast’s platform, which features a user-friendly interface and proprietary technology that's compatible with all PDF-creation software.

Upon uploading their PDFs onto the dashboard, users will be able to add links, audio, video, or other elements, and preview their publication through the “Test Mag” function. Once the magazine is published officially, it will be available for download from one of MagCast’s 300 international distribution nodes.

Additionally, membership includes access to MagCast Academy, a series of Zoom workshops wherein novice members work with a small group of fellow publishers of a similar experience level. These hands-on training sessions are hosted by MagCast staff - who are active MagCast publishers themselves - and cover topics like effective marketing & promotion, common publishing pitfalls, sourcing content, marketing, monetization, and ways to improve readership and circulation.

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

Filipino craftsmanship and creativity was on full display at the launch on Thursday of Kultura Atelier at SM Makati. The one-stop shop of the country’s largest department store chain is known for its wide range of Philippine-made products ranging from comestibles to clothes.  It is also a favorite shopping destination of returning Filipinos who want to take a piece of home back to their country of work. Many tourists also make a beeline to Kultura for souvenirs of their time in the tropics.  With the opening of Kultura Atelier, shoppers now have more options when an event calls for elevated Filipiniana. At the mini fashion show to mark the launch last week, the designers who were tapped to join Kultura’s roster presented pieces from their collection now available in store.  Daryl Maat showed updates to his playful redesign of the short-sleeved barong. Instead of traditional scrollwork or geometric designs, Maat’s features kid-style line drawings stitched in colored embroidery thread. Former professional model Alvin Degamo of Wear Your Culture was wearing one of his own pieces that afternoon, a denim jacket with fabric insets featuring embroidery inspired by the Manobos of Mindanao. He said his pieces are limited because it takes time for the weavers to finish a panel and send it to him.  Degamo then sends the panel to Lumban, Laguna to be embroidered by sewers he has long worked with. “I want to give the pieces from Wear Your Culture something more. Rather than use a woven panel as is, I have it embroidered or hand painted so the finished product stands out from others like it,” Degamo said.  Veteran Cebu-based designer Phillip Rodriguez has also thrown his hat into the retail shopping ring with Isla by Filippo. His elegant pieces shown that afternoon included a red terno ensemble with fabric that featured a solihya-like pattern.  Rodriguez also presented two black barong Tagalog that looked sleek and had a slimming effect.  Other brands and designers that are now part of Kultura Atelier include Fam Ph, Goodluck Humans, Harold and Harry, Jo-Rel Espina, Ken Samudio, Martin Uy, Rodolfo by Puey Quinones, Sari Lazaro, Tim Tam Ong and Zarah Juan. The festivities that afternoon extended beyond the runway with a perfume bar by Tadhana Fragrance, and jewelry customization by Nazrea Pearls. Kultura Atelier and Kultura at SM Makati still share the same space but the former  consists mainly of designer apparel and fashion accessories while the latter carries home decor and food items. In praise of the coconut There are dozens of food and decorative items for sale this weekend at the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) National Trade Fair. This time the coconut is in the spotlight with a wide range of food items ranging from coconut leaf-wrapped suman and extra virgin coconut oil to beaded hanging lamps and Christmas decor made of the tree’s different elements.  As the second coconut-focused trade fair this year, the initiative highlights the versatility of the Philippine coconut industry through innovative products in food, wellness, beauty, textiles, home essentials and handicrafts. The fair is open free to the public until Sunday and is a good place to jumpstart Christmas shopping.  Beyond showcasing local ingenuity, however, the fair opens doors for MSMEs and coconut farmer-beneficiaries to connect with institutional buyers, retailers and consumers, expanding their market reach and business opportunities.
