MAVERICK MAGAZINE TAKES 2011 BY STORM
With the February issue 2011 (issue number 103) Maverick took a brave step forward by becoming an online and PDF download publication only. Ceasing the printed magazine was a move that allowed savings, to the magazine and to their customers and current readership, who saw a monthly saving of £1.50 and a subscription saving of £15.00 a year. This and the massive cut in publishing costs for the small team at Maverick Towers has enabled them to focus on a very positive future.
Stepping into the digital world has seen the team embracing the changing face of technology. With so many people owning portable readers such as the Amazon Kindle, the iPad and even iPhones, the technology is now there to allow you to pick up a copy of Maverick wherever you are in the world. Plus with the PDF download option, the magazine can be saved, printed, and shared, as well as allowing viewing even when you have no internet available. The pricing option is now a flat rate Worldwide £2 per issue, allowing significant savings to important overseas customers who had to account for the extreme postage rates. Alongside this, is the ability to connect to the multi-media world and they will soon be focusing their attention on integrating easier navigation, multi-media players and possible musical embellishments, that will only explore the industry more than ever before possible.
The new-found possibilities for the magazine are an exciting development to a publication that has become much loved and an important part of the Independent music scene. As artists continue to put their efforts into their music, Maverick continues to spread the word, now by every means possible and reaching further than ever before.
Embracing social networking such as Myspace, Facebook and Twitter has been an important step in securing their future and the thousands of supporters they have gained world-wide continue to appreciate Maverick’s passionate efforts to bring the music they love to the forefront. Also supporting headline acts in the mix, the magazine proves to be just as eclectic as before, and believes in an overlapping of genres whilst supporting country, folk, bluegrass and roots music amongst others.
This individuality is what has shaped Maverick’s promising future - from page to page it looks nothing like a regular country music publication. Featuring a vast amount of content including over 100 CD reviews a month, tour dates, live gig reports and detailed features, there’s no denying Maverick offers something for everyone.
