COVERMOUNT Meaning and Definition

1. Covermount refers to a promotional strategy in the publishing industry, specifically in the field of magazines or journals, where an additional item or product is attached or included as part of the magazine cover. This can be a physical item that is either affixed to the cover or enclosed within the packaging of the magazine.

These items are carefully chosen to complement the theme or content of the magazine, providing additional value or enjoyment to the readers.

   The inclusion of covermounts is typically a collaborative effort between the magazine publisher and the external companies or brands offering the items.

Their presence often generates excitement and anticipation among existing readers, as well as attracting new consumers who may be enticed by the free or enhanced content provided.
