Bauer launches new monthly print title, It’s Your Day
Bauer Media is launching a new monthly glossy print title, It’s Your Day, leaning on Woman’s Day’s heritage.
Speaking to Mumbrella ahead of the June 13 launch, Woman’s Day associate publisher and editor in chief, Fiona Connolly, said she travelled across the country to meet with the future readers of It’s Your Day and research the content that would be included in the title.
Bauer must be out of their minds launching a new print brand into a market that has been in continual decline for more than a decade, especially a magazine that looks like it was written with the 1950’s stay-at-home housewife in mind.
“Life your mood (by saying no!)” what absolute tripe! I’d love to know more about the future readers Connolly met with to soundboard such vapid content. Talk about out of touch.
And you have a nice day as well.
Closing “Your” magazine for this new “It’s Your Day” title? Doesn’t make any sense at all, but ok…
Sorry but this looks like uninspiring crap. Nicole still on the cover, after all these decades and some cruise ships?
Nobody will waste their pennies on this and ‘storytelling’ involves paying good writers decent money to tell good stores. As if Fiona or Bauer are going to want to do that?
This will fail.
Well I’m sorry but it looks so much like all the other awful mags around…I don’t know where the market analysis got their purchase cohort from or who guided the content areas, as to put yet another one of these mags out seems gobsmackingly a huge error of judgement and market misalignment.. What a shame it wasn’t something fresh, contemporary and targeting an audience lost such a long time ago. Some good news though, my frail mother aged 86 wants me to buy her one, so you may have spiked the interest by this age cohort who traditionally buy this sort of magazine but I’ve got to be honest, noone in my age group network are at all interested. I’m sorry but I simply just can’t see it gaining traction. Im happy to be proven wrong, I do wish you all the best as I have a feeling you are really going to need it.
Where can I buy this magazine noone seems to have any yet have tried Woolworths, Coles, my local newsagent
Please advise where I can find a copy

I don’t know what age group you’re targeting, by the looks of all the comments, seems like you can’t please everyone. I think “It’s Your Day” is quite attractive, full page pics, two page layouts, interesting articles, with just enough Hollywood glitz and Australian life to cover all tastes. The puzzles are a bit of a bore… how about some real cryptic crosswords that keep you interested until the next issue? Well done Bauer-Media.
This magazine is very similar to yours that was cancelled. Yours was a good magazine. So if they couldn’t make it work… in theory sounds good. Will have to work hard to make relevant.
I love this magazine and want to subscribe. How can I do that? Can’t find any subscription information Thanks.
