Attract advertisers.
National marketers know that magazine supplements can quickly reach a large reader base. Weekend readers have a different mindset and tend to spend more time with the newspaper, hence increasing the chance of seeing the advertisements.

Boost revenue.

Create awareness.
There's competition out there. Let your advertisers know you mean business. Impress them with an ABC report.
