to consider doing more digital editions.

Gilbane Group Conclusions:
� The “green movement” is a good motivator to encourage print readers to try
digital editions.
� Making all elements of content delivery — print editions, digital editions, Web
sites, and conferences and communities — work together helps build the brand
and customer loyalty.
� Readers have the opportunity to archive searchable issues or content they enjoy
for future reference. Because much of the content stresses techniques, readers
save issues for many years.
