INDIA’S PREMIER MAGAZINE OF PHOTO-VIDEO & IMAGING INDUSTRY

MEDIA KITMEDIA KIT

Welcome to the FOTO GENIUS magazine.

Since the inception of FOTO GENIUS magazine, we wanted to push past the conventional Photography magazine model, in order to be invaluable in the world of speciality magazines we needed to step up and stand out.

We knew that the trendsetting contemporary and quality-driven audience we serve would not only appreciate, but covet, a physical magazine that was as stylish and informative as it was educational and valuable, so we launched the issue in regional language and our readers cherish and keep the copies of our publication for months.

But that is just one part of our strategy that in the face of a print industry, keeps Foto Genius growing year after year, another reason for our success is our participation in major leading trade events across India and Globe and distribution of the magazines to the exhibitors and visitors of the event, This gives an edge to our advertisers in both Indian and export markets without much of an investment.

It's our exhaustive mission to provide the photography industry with best medium to communicate, we bridge the gap between buyers and sellers of the food industry. We provide most relevant and timely educational feature stories.

We are committed to delivering not only the highest quality of customer service to our advertisers, but the best potential customers in the form of our loyal, educated, forward-thinking readership.

Print Digital for viewing on PC and MAC tablets

Some executives prefer to feel a magazine in their hands, they will read it on the train ride home, or on their next flight, or take it to lunch with them. Either way, they tear out ads and articles, write notes on them and give them to members of their team for follow-up. We get that.

While there will always be something special about holding a magazine in your hands that enhances the reading experience, readers can also source Global Trade on their tablets with full-page graphic downloads-exactly as see in the print magazine-with fast, page-turning capability. Ads come alive with the click of a mouse, plus, readers have the ability to instantly email an article or advertisement to a co-worker for follow-up.

At FOTO GENIUS we believe in getting value for your money and hence we work very hard to make sure that our magazine reaches the right people across the industry. The magazine is sent complimentary to the leading hoteliers and caterers across the country and then we followup with them to ensure that they take notice of the magazine sent to them.
