The Concept
There's never been a more important time to put yourself directly in front of your independent dealer customers.
With the number of trade shows on the decline, consolidation, increased pressure on sales and marketing budgets, and dealerships getting into more and more product lines, a platform to give your brands regular exposure, direct to your customers, is what’s required.
Independent Dealer is published by leading trade media organization OPI, and celebrates the successes of today's independents and their trading partners, and turns the spotlight on the opportunities to make them even stronger and more profitable. It is distributed digitally to over 7,000 independent dealer executives in North America every month.
Display advertising
The cost: Our electronic format means no big paper, printing or postage bills. And that means ad rates that offer outstanding value for the market delivered:
The Audience
The U.S. independent office products dealer community, including the leading dealer group members, wholesaler customers and dealer systems house users. Plus, as an advertiser, we will be happy to include your customer and prospect base to make sure your message reaches your own desired audience.
The Pitch
The revival of the independent dealer is a terrific story and this is a publication with the mission and the resources to tell it properly. We hope you will join charter advertisers like Avery, BIC, Domtar, ECI, Pentel, Safco, S.P. Richards, Sylvamo and others, to support the effort and present your own products and services to a key audience in a compelling editorial environment they will read and value.
