Magazine Advertising

Appear in co-branded adverts with ComponentSource in selected magazines.

Often it is too expensive to take out adverts in all the magazines you would like to advertise in, so why not partner with ComponentSource and share the costs with other publishers? You can then either afford to reach the readers of magazines you have not been able to reach before or save yourself some money on your existing advertising budget. Alternatively - you can spread your advertising over several magazines instead of just one magazine and reach a larger audience.

ComponentSource has been running marketing campaigns in magazines such as: MSDN Magazine (USA), dot.net magazine (Germany), VSj magazine (UK), Programmez! magazine (France) and Nikkei Software magazine (Japan). See also Magazine Advertising Europe | Magazine Advertising Asia/Pac.
