    Competition Analysis

    There is no other magazine on the market that showcases brunch as a year-round meal like Better Brunch. Most magazines coverage o brunch only

    occur in their April issues, which eature Easter, Mothers Day and other springcelebration brunches. As a quarterly magazine, our publication will go beyondthe usual associations with brunch and inspire readers to make the late morningmeal un and exciting whether its themed around pizza and games or celebratingrst days o summer. By showcasing the versatility o the meal, Better Brunchwill sustain readers interests issue ater issue and become one o their avoriteood titles.

    Brunch-specifc magazines/direct competition:

    Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Spring

    Cost: $7.99/issue; 6 issues or $24 (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Christmas, Halloween)Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Springincludes all spring celebrations: Easter, weddings,baby showers, graduation parties and even a twist on April Fools. Its divided by theoccasions with menus, party planning and decoration ideas. There are party plannerpages in the back to write grocery lists, guests to invite, menu, theme and dcor ideas,as well as a Party Picks section with must-haves. Because it is a spring publication,many o its recipes tend to eature brunch dishes, but not everything in the magazine iscentered on that meal.

    Pillsbury Most Requested Recipes Spring Brunch

    Cost: 5.99

    This magazine is divided into brunch menus (tips or hosting a brunch plus twocomplete menus) and categories o recipes (egg bakes, coee cakes, drinks and sides,etc.). Recipes use Pillsbury ingredients or other specically named products. Thecontent is all recipes with no editorial other than Cooks Tips blurbs throughout themagazine. There is also a recipe index.

    How Better Brunch is dierentUnlike these publications, Better Brunch is divided into departments and eatures andeels more like a ood and liestyle magazine. The overall aesthetic o the magazineis lighter, less foral and not stuy. Our magazine does not always cover individualoccasions; Better Brunch gives readers the tools to make a special brunch or any

    occasion. The eatures in Better Brunch are more editorialized and show the personalityo the magazine rather than just recipes. Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Springis 95%advertising ree and Pillsbury Most Requested Recipes Spring Brunch is sponsoredby Pillsbury; both o these are more like bookazines than magazines. Better Brunch isindependent rom any one sponsor; readers can trust that we will be unbiased in anyrecommendation o ingredients we include in recipes. Also, these magazines and thecoverage o brunch in other magazines are predominantly present in the spring, butBetter Brunch will be quarterly and show that brunch is beyond seasonality.

Our ollowing publication dates o July, Octoberand January will allow us to plan our editorial content to refect ood and decoratingideas in relation to the respective seasons.
