ASK WHY

If you’re a print advertiser investing in sports magazines, it’s time to start asking questions. Why am I paying multiple times to reach the same buyers? Whyshould I have to advertise the month you dictate? Why am I paying additional for directories, e-newsletters and digital editions?Why can’t you deliver leads?

We distribute it year-round in print,online, via social media and at the indus-try’s leading trade events. We includeeditorial on your destination so youknow your message is being heard.And we deliver leads so you can trackROI. Understanding this, we ask –Why Not Sports Planning Guide?
