‘Prevention’ Revamp Renews Focus on Key Demo

Prevention is launching a new design with the April issue, and along with the new look comes a renewed focus on women ages 45 and over.

Prevention’s new editor in chief Liz Vaccariello, who took over in July, wants to be “unapologetically and relentlessly a magazine for women in their 40s and 50s,” writes Mediaweek.

The new look includes a bolder, simplified design, revamped logo and whiter paper stock. Faces of Prevention is a new section which provides a forum for readers to exchange questions and answers with editors and experts. Body by Design allows readers to choose one of three levels of intensity of an exercise, and Food Chain allows readers to adapt a healthy dish.

Prevention’s circulation was flat at 3.3 million in the second half of 2006, but newsstand sales saw double digit increases for the December, January and February issues of this year. According to Mediaweek Monitor, ad pages have risen 7.2 percent year to date, through March.
