It isn‘t easy producing an esthetically appealing, up-market company magazine that is all about treating meat with mixed herbs and spices. And the target audience, butchers, is not the typical magazine readership. Despite these challenges, Gewürzmüller GmbH has managed to make its Gewürzreporter customer magazine a publication unrivalled throughout the industry. The recipe for this 12-page, bimonthly medium is much the same as the secret to butchers‘ success. It entails solid craft (specialized journalists), a clever mix (trades, news, buyer‘s guide, marketing), and a refining touch (informative artworks, high-quality photographs, experts), all blended together with great love of detail.
