AUDIENCE DC VELOCITYs audited circulation covers a combination of corporate-level executives, on-site directors and vice presidents of logistics operations. Why all three? In a typical company, decision makers at one level of an operation recommend and specify a project, with decision makers at another level par-ticipating in the final sign off. This blended audience puts DC VELOCITY above the other logistics magazines in the scope of its market coverage and assures advertisers that messages reach the complete buying team.
