The Australian Women’s Weekly has increased its online traffic by 33 per cent since launching its new website and ending a longstanding tie-up with NineMSN.

Figures released to The Australian show the AWW online has increased its users from 846,644 in May last year to 1,133,820 in May this year, following its relaunch on April 1.

    The buy any 2 Pacific magazines with Woolworths for $7 atm is enough engagement for me.
    Positioned at the self serve and other checkouts this has had an impact on my weekly sales.
    And it flows over to non pacific tittles as well.
