DEAR BUSINESS OWNER
We hope you’ll decide to become of property management’s most trusted vendor directory. For over thirty years, we’ve prided ourselves in publishing The Vendor Guide. It’s been humbling and rewarding to know that many of our clients have flourished because of the exposure they’ve received in our publication.
Some of our advertisers started off with one page of advertising in The Vendor Guide and have added additional pages as their businesses grew. Others clients have expanded their services to include another market. We’re pleased to extend discounted rates for multiple ads and multiple markets.
"RESPONSE-MODE" VERSUS "READ-MODE"
Advertising in The Vendor Guide continues to be a solid value. Because we mail our publication every sixty days, The Vendor Guide has the frequency of a direct mail piece and the value of a response-oriented publication.
Think about it. Managers reach for The Vendor Guide when they’re in a “need mode.” We’re making it easy for potential clients to find your business whenever they need you. It’s like always being in the right place at the right time!
When people are looking at magazines or other periodicals, they’re in “read-mode.” They’re reading articles or looking at photographs from events. Unlike “response-oriented” advertising, “read-mode” advertising, while good for awareness, is not as effective in gaining new business. Once they’ve finished reading a magazine, most people won’t pick it up again—regardless of how powerful an ad might appear.
As a response-oriented publication, The Vendor Guide features three easy ways managers can find our clients:
1) Table of Contents: Each category is listed in alphabetical order with the appropriate vendors under each one
2) Category Headers: Located on the top of each page, each category is clearly listed alphabetically
3) The Alpha-Dex: Located at the back of each book is alphabetical listing of the vendors appearing in each issue.
IF YOU DO NOTHING, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN!
Now is the perfect time to position your company where managers will always find you—in print and online.
What are you waiting for? Contact us today and we’ll secure your spot in our next available issue. Remember—we place ads in each category based on their size and the date they’re secured. You don’t want to let a competitor get the jump on you!
Act now and we’ll also post your company immediately on TheVendorGuide.com.
Our pledge to our advertisers:
The Vendor Guide will give your company exposure in print and online to thousands of property management decision makers in your specified market. And, while we never promise one call or one hundred calls, we can safely say that if you do nothing, nothing will happen!
