The New York Times Media Decoder reports
that Du Jour is aimed at those making over $250,000 a year, with at
least $5 million in total net worth, with a home worth at least $1.5
million. Du Jour’s target demographic spends at least $100,000 a year on
high-end purchases. The magazine will be sent to the homes of those
who fit at least five of seven specific things, including the above
criteria.
But get this–Du Jour caters to rich people looking for sales. In
addition to the magazines Binn publishes, he also is an advisor to the
online Gilt Groupe discount newsletter, which is kind of like Groupon
for rich people. Gilt Groupe has three million “fully engaged”
subscribers on its mailing list, Binn tells the Times. “These are real
shoppers spending hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Du Jour is reportedly going to charge $32,000 per page for its ads. In addition, Du Jour will have “access” to the Gilt Group subscriber database. “We can make sure they can really afford what they see,” he said about the magazine’s potential readership. “They love bargains but they’re also big luxury customers.”
Rich people looking for deals like the rest of us? Who knew?
