PUBLISHING TRADE INDUSTRY BUYING GUIDES SINCE 1985

Our best sales people are our customers. Listen to what they have to say.
“I am new to the industry but I enjoy your magazine immensely.” Sandy C., Oakmont Resort, Pigeon Forge, TN “I wanted to congratulate you both on an excellent February issue of The Park and Rec Trades, especially the treatment of the article developed by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) on propane-fueled commercial mowers. It was really well laid out and was a great complement, I think, to the other solid content in that issue. Being an ex-trade journalist myself, I still like how tabloid publications look; special thanks to your art department for being flexible on the propane cylinder image – it looks great and it’s the exact type that’s used.” Gregg Voss Bader Rutter & Associates On behalf of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) “Special thanks to The Golf Course Trades for adding this new forum for us all. I’m excited about the changes that have occurred with The Golf Course Trades, and being the first to kick off the articles to my colleagues makes it just as sweet. As I thumb through this useful buying tool monthly, I look forward to reading your articles as well.” Russ Myers CGCS Southern Hills Country Club “Just a note of thanks for the programs created for CXT. We are very pleased with the responses we are getting. Your targeted publications to Park & Golf, (with a website for each), allows us to reach potential customers and give CXT the exposure we couldn’t otherwise hit at an affordable cost. That plus great customer service gives me the best “bang-for-the-buck”. The Onsert program designed for us has allowed us to target the right markets, at considerable savings, rather than going the direct mail route at a higher cost. It is an added bonus that your staff is not only helpful, but talented where my advertising needs are concerned. Thanks and keep up the good work!” – Gary Burger, National Sales Manager, CXT® Concrete Buildings “We are very satisfied that our exposure in both The Golf Course Trades & Park and Rec Trades, has continued to expand the Toro brand name in both markets. That, in addition to working with one professional that knows our needs in multiple areas, makes it a win win relationship.” – Michael V. Nesdahl, The Toro Company “Thanks for the 22 years of service that The Golf Course Trades has provided to superintendents across the country. I have always enjoyed the diversity and usefulness of this publication which I have come to rely on.” – Jason Miller, Superintendent Aspen Glen Club “The Golf Course Trades is always a key part of the quiver of valuable tools we use each day to help us make decisions and improvements to our courses.” – Bob Wolverton, Bayonne Golf Club “I look forward to receiving The Golf Course Trades every month. It has always, and continues to be a useful buying tool for me, plus the new stimpmeter section makes for great reading.” – Amy Volk-Flowers, Hunters Run Golf & Racquet Club “The golf book is a great way to help me get access to information on much needed equipment at a reasonable price. With the economy putting pressure on me to make budget conscious decisions, getting the equipment I need to do my job efficiently has become increasingly more difficult. More and more superintendents are looking at stretching their budget dollars and when it comes to equipment members are reluctant to spend what is needed each year. The golf book has helped guide me toward deals that I would not be able to get from large manufacturers. The golf book has helped shed some light on the confusion of finding the right equipment at the right price for me.” Justin C Ruiz, CGCS Golf Course Superintendent The Rim Golf Club “On behalf of the S.T.G.C.S.A and all of our fellow brothers in grass growing, we appreciate The Golf Course Trades for recognizing our jobs, how things are done, and the many different ideas and solutions, to the kind of demands on all Superintendent’s shoulders.” Jared Ray Bonar Cypress Lakes Golf Club The Golf Course Trades” publication is an essential tool for many “in the know” superintendents. It is full of great information about new equipment and services not to mention its outstanding sources for used and rebuilt machinery! Joel S. Blaker, CGCS Director of Agronomy Tahoe Mountain Club For many years, my clients have advertised in the Resort Trades and its sister publication, Resort Management & Operations with tremendous success. The publications are widely read and widely respected within the timeshare industry. The Resort Trades has also been of great assistance to my clients by helping print our press releases and photographs. They are an integral part of any public relations and advertising plan I suggest to clients.” Marge Lennon President Lennon Communications Group Fort Myers, FL 239-482-3891 “I just received our invoice for our ad in The Resort Trades Management & Operations magazine. It made me reflect on the advertising dollar our company spends and how much we appreciate the reasonable rates set by your publication. At the same time I would like to compliment your organization for the tremendous improvements we have noticed in each issue and encourage your continuing development and success. We look forward to each issue full of interesting and well-written articles by vastly different businesses sharing an interest in the management and operations segment of the vacation resort industry. Linda George President Crawford Associates Sarasota, FL 941-926-8850 “When I really want to know what is happening in the industry, I check Resort Trades. Both the on-line and tabloid formats allow them the space to include more news than a magazine can afford to carry. Plus, being a marketing and public relations professional, I understand and appreciate that the Trades’ news items are more timely because their turn-time between cut-off deadlines and print are shorter. And, certainly, you can’t beat their Web news site for timeliness. In addition, I learn a great deal about who is doing what in the industry by reviewing the ads. I find that the Trades’ advertising cost is affordable. Plus, the classifieds – “Trades Members” – is an encyclopedia of who’s who in the industry. Sharon Drechsler President Drechsler Communications Scottsdale, AZ 480-626-0121 Have been using your guide for years as a maintenance supervisor. Very helpful in finding hard to find items. Leonard F. Because of The Landscape Architect Trades publication we have been able to make headway into the landscape architect market. We got response off the very first ad and have had great response all year! Marti Frost, Frost Products Mfg. Our exposure in the Landscape Architect Trades TradeShow and Trades Showcase features, plus advertising exposure, have played an important role in building our business. It’s your willingness to support us in our marketing efforts that made it possible for the green industry to benefit from our breakthrough NASA Technology. Our Turf Stress Detection Glasses and recently introduced universal Stress Detection Lenses are proving to be a practical tool in detecting disease, pest, and water related stress, 2-10 days before it’s visible to the naked eye...orders are pouring in. We are thankful and appreciate The Trades for helping BoMar Technologies jump start this new enterprise!" - Mark Faris and Dr. Robert Brock, owners, BoMar Technologies. "We've started receiving all the calls! We certainly made the right choice to advertise in the Trades.” - Marc Jarvis Marketing Director for FreeStyle Slides, Inc.
