Who Is ABM’s Audience?Doug, 56, is an author and magazine editor whose specialty is architectural history, interior design, and gardening. He lives with his dog in a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment, but spends most weekends at his house — a bungalow, of course — in Asbury Park. Doug has an income of $124,000 a
year and is comfortable with technology. He uses a iMac desktop for work, but also owns a Macbook, a recent iPad, and an older iPhone, all of which he brings with him when he travels for work.
Who Is ABM’s Audience?
Sandra, 29, is Phoenix video editor for corporate clients. Sandra has an eye for classic design and yearns to someday live in a classic Arts and Crafts home. Whenever she can, she’ll detour through the Willo section of town to admire the 1920s homes there, and she often checks the real estate section for homes for sale there, which she’ll sometimes show her boyfriend over breakfast. Sandra has an income
of $45,000 a year. She uses an HP desktop at work but has her own Macbook Air, an iPad 2, a Kindle, and the latest iPhone.
The Common Thread:Insights About ABM’s Readership
They are few in number, but maintain a strong bond to the architecture they love, and the community that shares their passion.
They are all esthetically minded, but economically and geographically diverse.
The world of American Bungalow—a quarterly—moves slowly, but sometimes readers want or need up-to-date, actionable information.
