Introduction
You may wish to have a special theme (or more than one) for a particular issue. Examples might include "Christmas", "Weddings" or "Education".
Setting up themes in MagManager helps you to plan. It also helps with your renewals, as MagManager can identify your clients who booked last time you ran the same theme.
1. Setting up issue themes
Go to Settings > Under Publications & Bookings > Select Issue Themes.
Click the green "Add Theme" button to create a new theme > Add the details of your theme > Click Save.
2. Assigning a theme to an issue
The themes are added to each issue of the publication.
Go to Settings > Under Publications & Bookings > Select Publications > Select one of your publications.
Click the edit icon > Click the Themes box and select one or more of the themes from the list (the themes need to be set up first in order for them to be listed in the Themes box - see above) > Click the save icon.
TIP: You could search for all December issues and set all of them, past and future, with the issue theme "Christmas". This will help with your Christmas renewals.
3. Using issue themes in renewals
You can search for renewal bookings based on the issue theme.
On the Renewals screen, when you have a list of potential renewals, filter the list by Score. Select the 17 from the dropdown list to identify "Booked in Previous Themed issue, NOT in this issue - No Future bookings or 16 to identify "Booked in Previous Themed issue, NOT in this issue - Has Future Bookings". Or type "themed" in the search box. This will locate renewals which are "Booked in Previous Themed issue, NOT in this issue".
NOTE: You can only search for renewals by issue theme if the issue theme has been used before now.
4. Adding a theme to a booking
You can add details of the theme to a booking. To do that choose a theme from the dropdown box when adding a new booking.
Note: the them dropdown box will only appear if a theme has been assigned to the issue you are booking.
5. Including a theme on the booking confirmation & Invoice
When the theme information has been added to a booking. The booking confirmation email & Invoice automatically includes details of the theme along side the advert size booked.
6. Identifying theme bookings on the flatplan
Click the Select Theme dropdown in the sidebar and choose the theme
Adverts booked into the selected theme will appear on the flatplan and sidebar with a red box around them. Making them easy to identify, should you need to place them all on a specific range of pages in the publication.
Region Markers can be used to identify a range of pages on the flaplan
