BUNDUBEAT MAGAZINE
BunduBeat is a monthly publication presented in a smart, glossy
and
high-quality A4-format. The birth of this unique publication is the
brainchild
of a dedicated group of like-minded people. Our highly
experienced editorial and production
staff, experts within tourism,
hospitality, marketing, public relations and publishing
ensures
originality in devising marketing concepts, trends and product
research.
With
editorial contributions from recognized authors and experts
within their respective
fields, we have created a stylish and informed
magazine. In the fullness of time we
hope the magazine will develop
and evolve to portray a truly African flavour and point-of
view. To
this end we welcome your support, contributions and views.
To appeal to as
wide an audience as possible, our editorial content is
wide-ranging encompassing all
facets of life in the region, not just
travel and tourism, but also the subsidiary
industries that support,
and are supported by it.
DEMOGRAPHICS
Initial circulation of
2000 copies strategically distributed at all
tourism and tourism-related outlets:
travel lodges, travel agencies,
safaris companies, air charters and car hire companies.
Readership
Pre-production
surveys show that, on average, for every magazine there
will be an additional 4 to
8 people who will get to read it - passed
on to other family members and friends.
If
projected numbers are correct then we will increase the print run
accordingly and
make the magazine available on a subscription basis.
Website
The BunduBeat.com website,
which is still under construction, is being
hosted in United Kingdom, is primarily
targeted at the overseas
market. We already have access to a database of over 10 000

run parallel
to the printed version and will be available on
e-subscription. Advertisers will automatically
receive a complimentary
link to their own website.
