What Magazine Do You Read?

[blowit]

We had considered advertising in a couple quad mags. Price is high and debating the actual exposure due to all the digital media these days. Do you guys still get a subscription and with who?

I used to get dirtwheels when I was younger but lost interest in who's nuts they were swingin on. Barely any 2 stroke exposure. However they seem to still have a decent circulation.

Unfortunately Brandon, most of those magazines target kids with parents who buy them parts. That's why you see ITP and Maxxis buying two page ads to get their attention. The kids think they MUST be the best since they have a two page ad, when in reality they have some of the worst performing junk on the market.

 

Plus, they really target the new 450 4-stroke bikes. Most kids these days just want LT suspension and bead locks to look like they race, when in reality they just trail ride.

 

Some of them have probably never heard of the Banshee before!

Only one I read was DirtWheels. Stopped about 7 years ago.... Advertising never hurts though, gets your name out there. Might try it for a while and see what happens

I think a small ad in Dirtwheels is around $900/month.

I started doing business with TDR after seeing their banshee superstore ad in dirt wheels. Might be worth a shot to advertise. Can't hurt to try.

I used to subscribe to all of em, but was reading the same crap over and over. So I just decided to keep dirtwheels. I checked into advertising in there quite a few years ago and it was damn expensive then. Good exposure though.

That is rape. Zero lubrication.

[sheerider11]

I get maxim. They always advertise shit that has nothing to do with anything but I'm sure some one sees it and they think " finally I found it" like stated it's exposure. It can never hurt. I'd say go for it.

That was far less than what I was quoted for advertising in several small local newspapers around Minneapolis for a senior project I had to do.

 

 

I guess I am just too small still to take that kind of risk.... I would LOVE to put an ad n dirtwheels, Id bet money that it would get a ton of hits. Hell, I am busy as it is I dont know what I would do If a flood came in lol. It would be a great problem to have, however...

[87sheerips]

hire a helper lol

 

Nah.... I am looking to stay small. A smaller business that is more profitable WINS over a larger business that is less profitible in my book..... With customer service, timely turnaround, etc.... I still have a 45-50 hour/week engineering job that is my #1 priority
