For the last 12 years the Metalworking News magazine has built a reputation in the market whereby it actively introduces prospects to information and products they need to know while at the same time building brand impression and recognition. It is known in marketing terms as ‘Push Media’ and still dominates. Readers turn to Metalworking News to learn about things they did not know.

Why building your brand in print matters
Throughout the industrial buying cycle, brand recognition and brand reputation is critical; particularly during the research and consideration phases. Brand is the first factor used by industrial buyers when evaluating and compiling a list of prospective suppliers. Prospects have immediate requirements, and are actively seeking solutions.

Why extending your brand online matters
With the prospect now in control of the information gathering process, Pull Media now becomes most important. Brand is a primary influence on where and at whom they look. However Pull Media provides prospects with information they know they need, but are not sure where to find it.

Online research is a key part of the industrial buying cycle, particularly during the consideration and selection stages. Metalworking News Online is where buyers search, research and learn about new product technology and new process innovations. Aligning your message with the areas where prospects are likely to look for technical solutions is the essence of contextual advertising and brand development.

www.metalworkingnews.com puts your company in front of prospective buyers at a time when they are looking for the specific solutions you offer.

Online advertising opportunities
