Pest Management Professional 3www.mypmp.net

Growth requires change. Serving pest management professionals since 1933, PMP knows this better than any

other industry publication. Our name alone has changed five times during our 80-plus-year history.

PMP also knows change has a much greater chance of driving growth if it’s based on experience, a hard

look in the mirror and comprehensive feedback. That’s why we spent all of 2011 conducting several reader and

advertiser surveys before mapping out plans for our extreme makeover.

Our January 2012 issue showcased PMP’s complete content-and-design overhaul — engineered by a true

partnership between our editors, readers and marketing partners.

PMP returned to its technical roots and began covering several structural pests every month. We added business

and human interest columns and improved the publication’s pacing and content mix.

In a word, we made it our mission to deliver exclusive industry intel and tips that inform and entertain cover-to-

cover — PMP’s InfoTainment.

The results speak for themselves: Pest management professionals now prefer PMP 2-to-1, and we’re the market’s ad-growth

leader.

But continuous growth requires continuous change. That’s why we recently fine-tuned our industry-leading content. For a

sneak peek, check out our comprehensive, customer-driven 2015 editorial calendar on pages 8-11.

Continuous growth also requires continuous investment. PMP is second to none in this area as well.

We continue to invest in our people. We brought back Jerry Mix, 20-year publisher and editor of the publication, as Editor-

at-Large. We also added Dr. Jim Fredericks, VP of Technical & Regulatory Affairs for the NPMA, to our industry-leading stable

of contributors, as well as two of his predecessors (Dr. Doug Mampe and Dr. Stuart Mitchell).

Unwilling to rest on our laurels, we just brought back Heather Gooch as PMP’s managing editor. This marks an additional

full-time senior editorial position, fueled by our growth. Gooch will help Marty Whitford, Publisher & Editorial Director, and

Will Nepper, Senior Editor, take PMP’s InfoTainment to new heights.

PMP also continues to invest in its media products. Our number of edit pages is at an all-time high and our audience has

never been stronger. PMP’s print edition, on average, mails to 20 percent more PMPs than the competition. More than 33,000

industry professionals subscribe to PMP’s print and/or digital media solutions — 25 percent more than our competitor. Last but

not least, PMP’s metrics for digital media have mushroomed

thanks to a plethora of new offerings and enhancements.

Customer-driven change. Unparalleled content and circulation. Continuous investments in

people and products … PMP is uniquely positioned to serve as your growth partner for 2015

and beyond.

Kevin StoltmanPresident & CEO, North Coast Media

Print is still king …85% of readers prefer printed versions of industry-trade publications.

Nine out of 10 PMPs report printed trade publications are their most-valued source of product information.

After reading Pest Management Professional’s (PMP’s) monthly print edition, more than half of PMPs say they immediately or quickly thereafter purchase products.

Print publications also drive PMPs’ use of digital media: Three-quarters of PMPs visit vendors’ websites while or shortly after reading PMP’s monthly print editions.

PMPs say they prefer printed publications because “They’re easier on the eyes” and “The touch-and-feel of the printed page cannot be duplicated.”

“When reading on paper, students seemed to have a better sense of their own understanding. When reading on screen, they thought they absorbed information readily, but tests showed otherwise.”

PMPs prefer PMP magazine over the competition 2-to-1 — saying:

» PMP magazine delivers the most relevant and useful industry and business information.

» PMP is the most-trusted provider of industry technical information.

» PMP is their overall favorite industry trade journal.

PMP READERS: RAVING FANS ... SINCE 1933

“PMP is the magazine pest-management company owners and decision makers read cover-to-cover. It’s the industry’s gold standard.”

Mike Masterson, CEO of Isotech Pest Management

“PMP is by far my favorite. PMP magazine embodies InfoTainment.”

Pete Schopen, owner of Schopen Pest Solutions

PMP is platform agnostic. We provide the market intel pest management professionals (PMPs) crave via the media platforms they prefer. Print by far remains PMPs’ preferred media platform, but we also lead the way in delivering digital solutions that provide unmatched ROI.

— Marty Whitford, PMP Editorial Director & Publisher

PMP’s DIGITAL INVESTMENTS

Publishing” is not synonymous with “print.” You won’t hear many

publishing companies admit that. But in a world where the news

pops up on the screen in your hand in real time, publishing also means

digital. Luckily, North Coast Media is not most publishing companies. Our

goal is for Pest Management Professional (PMP) to meet our readers and our

advertisers where they want, when they want. The investments we’ve made in

digital in the past two years are a testament to this.

Just check out myPMP.net. We beefed up our digital department

with award-winning multimedia journalists, designers and developers

who work hand-in-hand with our sales and editorial teams. Together we redesigned

our website, giving it a fresh look and making it easier to find your favorite content from the magazine in our

expanded archives. We enhanced our vast digital display advertising offerings with a platinum website

sponsorship, which gives our marketing partners high-impact placement right there with our can’t-miss, exclusive

content. It’s no surprise the click-through rates are sky-high.

But it’s not just the website. PMP is reaching out to our readers in their inboxes and on their mobile devices

and social feeds.

We overhauled our enewsletter, The Buzz, showcasing social media engagement and putting our audience front

and center in the form of featured photos and quotes from our fans and followers. We launched a new version of

our digital edition and iPad app, with a cleaner interface and more advertising opportunities.

If you’re a current digital advertiser, you’ve seen how all of these upgrades have fueled record metrics growth

for our channels — and for you. If you’re just beginning to consider digital marketing opportunities, we’re here to

help you meet and beat your marketing goals.

Looking for content marketing? List rental? Lead generation? Check. Check. Check. Not quite sure what you

want? Our creative and consultative services are here to save you time and money. We’ll design your email

marketing HTML, produce your webinar, write your sponsored content or analyze your search engine optimization

(SEO).

Got something in mind you don’t see in the next four pages? We’ll make it happen.

We don’t stop. Our responsive website design and industry blog portal are already in the

works — and we have more enhancements, launches and straight-up surprises in store. Digital

media changes every day. Fortunately, we have PMP’s A Team to blaze the way.
