Since March 17th 2020 we began a policy where any submission we approved would get at least a 2 page spread! NO SINGLE PAGES. NO HALF PAGES. NO QUARTER PAGES.
In our talks with models and photographers we confirmed how disheartening it is when you put in a lot of time and effort and expense on a photoshoot, submit it to a magazine and then see half a dozen of your photos squeezed onto a single page. When we began guaranteeing 2 page spreads it made our submissions increase by a good measure. So much so that in order to publish all the work we'd like to, we had to put out more issues. By the end of 2020 we had released over 250 publications. Over 15,000 pages of content. Nobody publishes more pinup than Retro Lovely. We have already chronicaled more of the art than anyone else. And we are not done! We have a lot of exciting things planned with this as the foundation.
Effective August 3rd 2020 we began offering Guaranteed Social Shares. Retro Lovely is one of the only publications that shares samples of the models we publish multiple times daily. Some magazines only seem to post once every few days, or weeks, or once a month. Posting a lot has disadvantages, some social platforms penalize overactive users. While we would love to share something from every set we publish it's not practical to do so. This service of ours is geared towards those who are looking to broaden their audience. With this we will post something from your feature and include links back to you and encourage our fans to follow you as well.
Since we relaunched in 2018 we've become the fastest growing pinup magazine on Instagram. We have gone from 2500 followers back then to over 100,000 today. Even though we post daily, it's hard to scratch the surface of all the great work we showcase in print. The guranteed Social Shares helps us navigate that.
