Seeking to bring interactivity to print, publishers have been
dabbling with technology that lets readers shop from the pages of a
magazine by texting keywords that are printed on pages. For the
past couple of years, Hearst Magazines titles including
Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and Redbook have worked with
technology company ShopText to let readers buy products, request
samples and enter sweepstakes via text message.
