The Growing Concern Advertising Information
|
The Growing Concern is the official publication of the OLA. Printed monthly, our
beautiful, full-color magazine features articles that help Ohio's green industry
contractors run their business professionally and successfully.
Advertising in The Growing Concern is a great and cost-effective way to expose your
products and services to Ohio's green industry contractors. The ad submission
deadline is the 10th of the month prior to the month of publication. Meaning, the
submission deadline for the January issue is December 10th.

"Quick Information". For any additional questions or information, contact Lindsay Scott
via email or call the OLA office at 1-800-335-6521.
Plain and simple, The Growing Concern is the most cost-effective and affordable
way to get your products and services in front of Ohio's green industry contractors.
Directly market to your end user. The majority of our readers are landscape
contractors, designers, architects, and nurseries; which includes company owners,
foremen and supervisors, and technicians.
One of the lowest - if not the lowest - insertion rates for a statewide trade
association in the Midwest region. For example, OLA members can advertise for as low
as $280 per insertion for a full-page, full-color ad.
Color is complimentary! There is no upcharge for printing your ad in full-color.
Cover placements are only $100 in addition to the insertion rate. And, again,
full-color is complimentary!
Digital version is available on our website in a flipbook format on the
first day of the month, delivering your message to readers in a timely manner.
Advertisers receive a free link to their website in the digital version.
Email notification that the digital flipbook is available for viewing is sent
to over 2,300 email addresses - on the first day of the month.
We still have a print version! Some publications are now only being offered
digitally to help cut printing costs. We totally disagree with that line of thinking! While
costs are cut, your exposure as an advertiser is also cut. Our print version is mailed out
to 1,000 green industry companies/individuals, allowing for your products to be
promoted, not only for a longer period of time, but also to more people in a company
(i.e. company owners, foremen, supervisors, technicians, etc.)
Advertiser Index appears in each issue with the name and page number of
our advertisers - allowing for readers to quickly find your products and promotions.
Rate discounts for multiple insertions.
Your products and services are showcased in full-color among informative
articles and pictures of beautiful plants and flowers.
It's an environmentally friendly magazine. The Growing Concern is printed on
FSC certified paper, using only soy-based inks.
It's easy to start your advertising campaign! Click on the link up top under
"Quick Information" to view our low insertion rates. Fill out the insertion order and
return it to the OLA office. Send your artwork. And you're ready to go!
