OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES Competitors tracked: (1) Diesel Progress (2) OEM Off-Highway
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • 8x Print • 19,029 circ vs Off-Highway 19,407 • $7265g 1x full page 4c rate vs Off-Highway $5720g
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • Misc • They were bought last year; now part of AC Business Media. • They have a family of similar market magazines that they bundle... Asphalt Contractor—Equipment Today-Rental---these are big markets for our advertiser base - especially the engine OEMS which gives them an advantage.
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • Rates • They like to make deals…maybe that’s why they were sold?? That model is not financially sustainable long-term! • Reprints are FREE to advertisers. • Their eNewsletters are practically FREE to advertisers.
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • Editorial • This use to be a key selling point for us, but over the last 3 or 4 years they have been transitioning their editorial focus to become much more engineering and component oriented. • So the advantage here is again – the tie to SAE and our access to the standard developments and key technology advancements FIRST based on our ties to industry through our standards committees, paper authors, exhibitors at SAE events, etc.
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • Circulation • Overall OEM circulation is in the same ball park as ours. • They are heavy in Corporate titles vs our strength in Engineering. • But when you look at the markets being reached they kill us in most categories – which I’m sure is a key selling point they use; but our strength is the engineer…who makes up their additional readers those market categories?? • The strategy here is the design engineer’s involvement and knowledge of the entire product lifecycle – from concept, to design, to production and manufacturing…the design engineer is our core reach and he/she is key to specifying products – not CEOs.
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • 12x Print for North America + International & China Issues • 25,138 circ vs Off-Highway 19,407 • $7645g 1x full page 4c rate vs Off-Highway $5720g • 25,000 ave web visits per month • Back issues on web behind a subscription login
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • Leader in the market • The original publication for the engine and off-highway market. • Staff and owners have been very involved in the market for many, many years. • Their publisher and editors not only write the publication but sell ads as well. • Family owned publisher…everyone is old; will be interesting to see what happens; possible target for purchase.
OFF-HIGHWAY MAGAZINES • Goal is to split the buy • Hard to build a case for getting engine guys away from this book. • Play up the duplication of readers - about 60% of our readers do not get Diesel Progress per our ad studies. A sole buy in DP and you are missing a significant portion of industry decision-makers.
