Evaluate a connected publishing workflow
Choose a daily process your team knows well and follow it through the platform. An advertising example might begin with the advertiser relationship, continue through a proposal and signed contract, then reach production and billing. A subscription example should cover the reader relationship and renewal process. Include a realistic exception so the evaluation goes beyond the simplest path.
RunMags connects advertising sales, contracts and eSign, subscriptions, production and billing. Maggie provides publishing guidance, while accounting and payment integrations should be reviewed for your particular setup. Plan advice depends on legal entities, brands and explicit feature entitlements. Start the 14-day trial or book a demo with your workflow questions.
Magazine management software for the whole publishing business
Searches for magazine software often turn up page layout, design and digital-edition tools. RunMags is a different kind of tool: magazine management software for the business side of publishing. It runs your advertising sales, subscriptions, billing and production planning in one system, on one register of advertisers, agencies and subscribers.
Sales reps book ads on the advertiser’s contract, issue by issue, and signed print bookings appear on the issue’s flatplan as ads waiting to be placed. Print and digital subscriptions, on issue-based or time-based terms, sit on each subscriber’s record with their renewals and the distribution list for every issue. Advertiser and subscriber invoices are created in the same system, with card payments through your connected Stripe account.
RunMags is not a page layout or design tool, and it does not design your digital edition. Your designers keep InDesign or their own design software for the page files, while RunMags holds the plan, the bookings and the invoices. That makes it publishing management software for the people who sell, plan and bill each issue.
See how RunMags handles magazine advertising sales and ad booking, magazine subscription sales and renewals and flatplan and issue production planning.
Multi-title publishing software for portfolios
Publishing several magazines under different brands, or through more than one company? RunMags runs the whole portfolio in one RunMags account. Add each legal entity and brand, then set up every title with its own issues, ad products and rate card.
Advertisers and subscribers sit in one customer register across your titles, so a cross-title deal is one contract with a row for each title and issue. Advertiser invoices follow the legal entity on the contract, and the booking volume report shows booked revenue by title, brand, issue and legal entity.
