Mag ads work!!

My first ever magazine ad is in this months Classic Motorsports, which JUST came out. A few minutes ago I got a call from a gentleman in El Salvador that needs CCTV equipment. Told me he saw my ad "in a car magazine". I guess these magazines have long legs!! Yeah, I made the deal. Thank you all.

That's what happens when somebody makes a magazine that's actually worth reading.

And you never really know where they might be. El Salvador???

Hey, it's an international obsession, right?

Zoom in, and you can see the track map! Way cool.

Congrats on the sale, dude! Don't mean to be a bigot, but it seems that anyone rich enough to go racing in El Salvador would need your services.

and here I thought you bought some of the phermonal stuff in the back of one of those "other" mags and were here to say how you picked up a new SO

Congratulations on the sale.. I hope it leads to many more.

Places in central america and the islands have a BIG market for CCTV...

CCTV?

Closed Circuit Television.

Tell us when you've gotten enough business to pay for the ad (and hopefully it will continue till you make a profit) that's the true test.

Excellent news!

Hopefully this sale is the first of many. Ads in GRM and CMS work better than most partially due to the loyalty of our readership. Thanks to anyone who has purchased things from our advertisers. Without this support there wouldn't be a GRM or CMS!

the advertising rates are published in the magazine. they're LOW with a capital L. and a capital O. and a capital W.

I've done a lot of advertising and no matter how low they are the true test is response, not necessarily sales cause the sales part is up to you.

But if you can't make more than the ads cost then you can't advertise.

And I am in no way dissin' GRM, I'm more curious as who knows what might be in my future.

Considering how quick the reply was, and the distance, I'm confident it will more than pay for itself. I will post as more come in, let you know why YOU should do it.
