Born to make magazines.
Break through and stay there.
We live in a world where attention spans are short and time is precious. How do you achieve the emotional and intellectual engagement your brand needs to leave a lasting impression?
A custom magazine.
It’s the 30-minute conversation you’d love to have with someone who believes they can barely spare 30 seconds. People value what they can hold in their hands, something that captures their attention and provides respite from their always-on lives with well-reported, expertly written, and smartly designed stories that stick with them.
Trust building for decades.
D Custom started in 2001, when we got a call from The Association of Former Students of Texas A&M, asking for help with Texas Aggie alumni magazine. Since then, we’ve been producing award-winning magazines and high-value reports for all kinds of clients, to help them forge connections with their most important audiences. We’re proud to report that Texas Aggie is still among them.
Why invest in a custom magazine?
Whether you seek to shorten your sales cycle, cement customer loyalty, further engage your employees, or grab investors’ attention, a custom publication can make it happen.
Be the authority.
A carefully reported and well-designed magazine positions your brand as an industry leader and helps establish trust and credibility with your target audience.
Make your mark.
Magazines are more immersive — and a welcome respite from digital everything. This tactile, sensory experience leads to deeper connections and lasting impressions with the people who matter most to you.
Expand your value (and your content library).
With a magazine, you have more space and creative freedom to develop stories that resonate with your readers, which translates into a more valuable experience associated with your brand. Plus, magazine content contributes to a deep well of owned media for you to repurpose and reuse.
Extend your staying power.
Simply put, print has a longer shelf. Readers are more likely to keep and revisit a high- quality magazine, extending your brand exposure and increasing the likelihood of your stories being absorbed and remembered.
Shorten your sales cycle.
Paired with a strategic distribution plan, a magazine can rapidly accelerate the sales cycle. It helps build relationships with your prospects prior to sales calls, while deepening relationships with your existing customers.
