For e-commerce brands, print magazines were once the ultimate gatekeepers. A feature in Gourmet could turn a kitchen gadget into a must-have, while a mention in InStyle might send a dress to viral fame. But as print faded, these platforms didn’t disappear—they reinvented. Today, their digital successors offer hyper-targeted audiences, shoppable content, and SEO-driven visibility.
Below is our list of 50 discontinued print magazines that still shape consumer habits online, along with the product categories they cover. Whether you’re selling tech gadgets, sustainable fashion, or home decor, this guide reveals where to pitch next.

Digital Magazines Are the New Product Launchpads
The end of print doesn’t mean the end of influence—it means a shift in your PR strategy. Digital magazines like Domino and Nylon now offer shoppable galleries, affiliate links, and viral video integrations that print could never match.
For e-commerce brands, this is a golden opportunity:
- Target niches: Pitch CBD skincare to Shape’s wellness readers or sustainable furniture to Domino’s design-forward readers.
- Leverage SEO: Use tools like Ahrefs to align your pitch with a magazine’s top-ranking keywords (e.g., “best eco-friendly activewear” for Self).
- Repurpose content: Turn a Gourmet recipe feature into a TikTok series with your cookware.
While we might miss the anticipation and surprise of print magazines, digital magazines offer something better: measurable ROI, faster turnaround times, and a lot more opportunities to get your products featured.
Final Tip:
Many of these sites have “Submit a Product” pages (e.g., InStyle, Brides). Bookmark them, and track editorial calendars for seasonal pitching opportunities (back-to-school, holidays). And you can always sign up for Media Leads to get access to contact information for writers and editors at these digital publications.
