The Economist has hired Havas Digital to help it sell print, digital and iPad subscriptions, reports Kunur Patel of Advertising Age.
“So far The Economist is not selling subscriptions through Apple’s App Store under the plan Apple announced in February. Havas Digital declined comment on the matter. The Economist wasn’t able to comment immediately on deadline.
“Publishers, including The New York Times, have recently been testing digital subscriptions in attempts to cull new revenue streams. Right now, The Economist charges $110 for its digital subscription, which includes access to all online, mobile and iPad content. An annual print-plus-digital subscription goes for $127.”
