The independent magazine culture that exists today is one of discovery, collaboration, passion and excitement. This culture is fueled by creatives producing high quality print experiences made to be collected.
There are new publications born each week, visit any magazine store with a fine collection of today’s best titles, and it’s hard to walk away with just one.
Almond have long been in love of with print magazines, which has lead them to strive to help independents support their print future by producing beautiful and affordable digital publishing solutions as a way to generate additional income.
MagSpot is the next step; - an iOS app developed by Almond as a tool to help connect magazine readers, stockists, and magazine publishers around the world.
The idea for MagSpot came after struggling to locate a magazine store in their hometown - Almond thought there must be an easier way to help readers find the best stockists around, there wasn’t, so MagSpot was born.
Readers can use MagSpot to discover new stockists where they can get their magazine fix, discover new titles, or purchase their favourites; while magazines can locate new stockists from around the world, and contact them via MagSpot to gauge interest in their stocking their publications.
Stockists featured in MagSpot can include a detailed description of their store, contact number and email, opening times, and a url to link to their website or online store.
MagSpot is integrated with Google Maps, which helps to provide accurate location details, directions, and store map data for offline mode.
