TARGET MARKET (INDUSTRY / SEGMENT), KNOWLEDGE AND DYNAMICS
What is your organization’s addressable target market, industry and/or segment?
What is the current “phase” of your target market, industry and/or segment? Introduction? Growth? Maturity? Decline?
Is there enough room in your target market, industry and/or segment for successful and sustainable business growth? For how long?
Who are your key customer decision makers? Influencers to those decision makers? Information gatherers? “Qualitative Buyer” (e.g., Customer Executive)? “Quantitative Buyer” (e.g., Procurement / Contracts)? Who Can Say “Yes”?
What keeps those decision makers up at night? What “pain” is your “solutions set” remedying?
Marketing Plan / Competitive Environment
· Who is your organization’s key competition in terms of size (revenue / market share)? Success (profitability)? Innovation? Fastest growth? Most like you?
· Are you going to market to compete as an innovation / technical leader? Service and support leader? (Lowest) price leader? Or as a “me too” player? Is there room in that position to survive? Thrive?
· What is your current “share of customer wallet”? How will you “unhook” your competitors to secure their current business?
· If you are “first to market,” will the first competitive entry leap over you on innovation / technical capability? On service and support? Undercut you on price? How will you respond?
· How will buyer behavior change the competitive playing field (e.g., “Gen Y” and/or “Gen Z” way of embracing / disseminating information, making decisions and doing business)?
Marketing Plan / Positioning
· From the perspective of the buyer, where does your organization’s offering fit vis-à-vis the “total solutions continuum” required for this target market, industry and/or segment? Are you just the “kitchen appliances” for the home builder?
· Where does your offering fit in this “total solutions continuum” in terms of capabilities? Upstream? Downstream? “An inch deep and mile wide?” “An inch wide and a mile deep?” “A mile deep and a mile wide?”
· Are you positioning yourself as a leader for innovation / technical capability? Service and support excellent? (Lowest) price competitiveness? Or as just a “me too” player?

Introduction
Media reserves a pivotal role in influencing change in the society, encouraging transparency; opening up the society and charting the path of progress in the society. An opportunity to serve in the field of media is the most coveted in the contemporary society. This is because it not only gives one the privilege of being the news revealer and updater but it also enriches one socially, economically, and intellectually. Periodic publications fall under print media. Together with the broadcast media, they constitute the media industry. We are in a very dynamic world that everyone can hardly afford without an update. This belittles the impact of the available media bodies.
While the broadcast media can serve some of the audience, the print media offer a couple of information and offers that are not available through the broadcast media. In Washington, the print media is dominated by a number of established giants like The New York Times, Th ...

ABOUT US
Leaders around the world understand that it’s almost impossible
for an economy to succeed without a strong manufacturing base.
Manufacturers understand their role in the global economy, and know
that success and staying power mandate much more than the simple
production of goods. As more manufacturing business comes back to
North America, executives know that keeping business here means
that quality is paramount, costs are in line, processes create little
waste and use minimum resources, and the supply chain provides
efficient support. When these best practices are fueled by innovation,
there’s no stopping the manufacturing sector’s growth.
Manufacturing Today is the must-read trade publication for industry
leaders. Through our print and digital publications, online presence,
database and tradeshow portals, Manufacturing Today helps executives
at the senior boardroom and production levels stay abreast of the most
important operational issues in this dynamic market. An expanding social
media presence and SEO emphasis will further the value-add and return on
investment that companies are seeking. Every issue focuses on best practices
in areas such as customer service, supply chain management, environmental
control, technology advancements and maintaining quality. Monitoring the
fast-changing marketplace for manufactured goods and analyzing effective
strategies for the most successful firms, these case studies serve as a
benchmarking tool across the vast industry spectrum.
Featuring profiles on leading and emerging companies, columns by industry
experts and news about the latest trends in this market, Manufacturing Today
serves as the gatekeeper of information for anyone – whether it’s readers, our
profiled companies or advertisers – who needs to be in the know about the
Americas’ manufacturing scene. In each issue, Manufacturing Today’s editorial
team speaks with market and regional experts who share the secrets behind

Whether they were speaking to me

RATES SPECS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS: These conditions shall apply to all insertion orders for advertisements submitted by the Advertiser and accepted for
publication by the Publisher. All insertion orders for advertisements are accepted subject to the Publisher’s approval of the copy and to the space being available.
The Publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend an advertisement at any time for good cause as it determines in its sole discretion, in which case no claim on
the part of the Advertiser for damages or breach of contract shall arise.
Acceptance of an advertisement for publication by the Publisher does not constitute endorsement or approval by the Publisher of any product or service advertised.
All copy MUST be received by the stated dates. In the event of non-receipt of copy, the Publisher reserves the right to repeat existing copy held or to compose
“generic” advertising for the Advertiser. Time shall be of the essence in respect of all obligations undertaken by the Advertiser. Failure to timely submit copy to
the Publisher shall not relieve the Advertiser from liability for the cost of the advertisement.
Every care is taken to avoid mistakes, but the Publisher cannot accept liability for any errors due to third parties, subcontractors or inaccurate copy instruc-
tions. Claims of errors in finished orders will only be considered if the Advertiser has previously affirmatively submitted copy and/or approved the proof, the
advertisement deviates from the submitted copy and/or approved proof, and notification of the error is received in writing within ten days of receipt of invoice.
The Advertiser accepts full responsibility for all content it submits to the Publisher (including text, representations, illustrations and advertisements) and agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Publisher against all actions, costs, claims, proceedings, damages and liabilities whatsoever incurred by the Publisher as a result
of the publication of any material supplied or approved by the Advertiser.
The Publisher shall not be liable for any financial, consequential or indirect loss or damages suffered by the Advertiser as a result of any act or omission of the Publisher.
The liability of the Publisher in respect of any breach of its obligations pursuant to this contract shall be limited to an amount equal to the sum actually paid
by the Advertiser to the Publisher in respect of the relevant order. Save to the extent that the same cannot by law or statute be excluded, all express or implied
conditions, warranties or representations relating to the service provided by the Publisher to the Client are hereby excluded. Covers, single insertion orders and
profile advertisers are non-cancellable.
CONTRACT ADVERTISERS: If an Advertiser cancels the balance of a contract (excluding covers or single insertion orders, which are non-cancellable), it relinquishes
any right to that series discount to which it was previously entitled and advertisements will be invoiced at the appropriate rate.
While every effort will be made to meet the wishes of Advertisers regarding positioning, no guarantee can be made unless the Advertiser is paying a special
position charge. Extra production work requiring artwork and/or film will be charged out at cost.
The insertion order, including these terms and conditions, and the rate card constitute all the terms of the contract between the Advertiser and the Publisher. No
agent or other representative of the Publisher has the right to vary the terms of the contract in any way, except in writing, signed by the President of the Publisher.
Invoices are rendered at the end of each month. Full settlement is due upon publication. Advertisers who fail to pay within this period will be liable for a
surcharge of 4% interest per month for each full month overdue, and shall pay to Publisher any costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by
Publisher in the enforcement of this contract and in the collection of any sums due.
Jurisdiction and venue over any claims arising out of this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.
READERSHIP: The majority of our readership data is provided by an outside vendor(s). In a few instances, our internal editorial research department has produced
a more detailed breakdown of our readers based entirely on industry knowledge, without the support of independent data or research. It should only be relied on
as a benchmark and general guidance as to what we believe is the readership makeup.
DIGITAL FILES: For all supplied ads, the preferred file format is a high-resolution Adobe PDF, in CMYK format, with
all fonts embedded. Supplied media should be labeled with advertiser name, magazine title, issue date, and contact name
and phone number. We can also accept JPEG, EPS, TIFF, Quark XPress, InDesign CS, Illustrator, and Photoshop files. Please be
sure to include all necessary image and font files. Regrettably, we cannot accept any artwork lifted directly from a web site,
as the quality is incompatible for print. We also cannot accept supplied ads sent in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Works,
Pagemaker, or Publisher formats. All supplied ads must be accompanied by a PDF for proofing purposes. All supplied ads
must be presented in a manner ready for press. Manufacturing Today magazine does not accept responsibility for files that
have not been presented correctly—the sole responsibility for file content rests with the file originator. Please include any
Editorial Mentions with your submission. Please send in a text file or within the body of an e-mail. For your convenience, files
up to 10MB can be sent via e-mail to ads@manufacturing-today.com. If larger, please email ads@manufacturing-today.com for
information about uploading files to the FTP site or send a CD to 79 West Monroe St., Suite 400, Chicago, IL 60603. If you need
our studio to design your ad at no additional cost or have questions or concerns regarding ad material, please e-mail or give
us a call.

“Our article in
Manufacturing Today
turned out very well.
We were pleased with
the professionalism of
the staff from start to
finish. The magazine
article and reprints tell
the Major Tool story well
and will be very useful in
marketing our company
going forward.”
//RICHARD C. WIEGAND, PRESIDENT AND COO
MAJOR TOOL AND MACHINE
The people from Manufacturing Today really did their
homework and made things easy for us. We were amazed
at how quickly they were able to grasp the essence of our
Company and how effectively they were able to communicate
it in the article. We expect to use this feature frequently to
tell our story.

Thank you for the fine article in Manufacturing Today
Magazine, this was a very good experience for us and we
want to thank you for choosing ARP for your publication.
I have shared it with the ARP and TMP corporate teams
(Our parent companies) and all have responded positively.
We have also linked the article to our news section on the

My name is Mike Bowlby and I’m the owner of
Mack Hills Metal Fabrication in Moberly, Mo.
I’d like to express my gratitude for what the
Manufacturing Today is doing. You provide all
of us metal manufacturers and fabricators with
great resources to do better in our industry.
I’ve been following your blog and have really
gotten into the articles, especially the most recent
ones by Susan Orr. It has inspired me to do some
writing of my own. I’ve been thinking about ways
the metal fabrication industry will change and
have been researching the matter.
