How to Submit A Press Release to TILE
Magazine
A TILE Magazine-worthy press release should contain information that will help
tile industry professionals conduct business profitably and proficiently. Press
releases for TILE Magazine may be used in print and/or online at
www.tilemagonline.com. TILE Magazine also features announcements of general
interest to the entire tile industry (company mergers and expansions,
promotions, trade shows, etc.).
Industry News: News about manufacturers; distributors and distributor
appointments; associations; personnel and announcements of general interest to
the tile industry.
Product Showcase: Features the latest designs in tile.
Tile Products: Information about the latest products, tools, technology and
equipment available for the professional tile contractor.
Breaking News: Up-to-the-minute information on the latest news affecting the
industry.
Calendar of Events: Meetings, seminars and events of interest to the industry.
Case Studies: Feature articles detailing a job or project from start to finish.
Any release appropriate for the TILE Magazine audience will be accepted for
consideration. There are no guarantees of publication (in print or online).
Press releases submitted to TILE Magazine are published according to several
factors: reader interest and service; timeliness; subject matter; space
constraints and issue themes. It is often difficult to estimate the publication
date of any press release to coincide with advertising or other marketing plans.
There are no prerequisites for getting a press release published, including
advertising. But, with the best business-to-business environment in the tile
industry, TILE Magazine is an excellent vehicle for your advertising message.
You will not automatically receive the issue that contains your release. TILE
Magazine publishes so many items that such a service would be incredibly
time-consuming and expensive.
Items run exclusively on TILE Magazine online at
www.tilemagonline.com contain
as much contact information as you supply for TILE Magazine readers to contact
you directly and quickly by phone, fax, mail, e-mail and/or via your website and
company link. Items that run in both print and online are assigned a reader
service number for readers who would like more information through the Reader
Inquiry Card located in the magazine, or (even better) through the online
Product Information link on our website. These responses/sales leads can be
e-mailed to you weekly and/or accessed online directly with a user name and
password. Most readers will want to contact you directly; therefore, it’s a good
idea to have lead-tracking procedures in place so that you know it was TILE
Magazine that prompted the lead.
When submitting a press release to TILE Magazine, please be sure to include an
electronic image. TILE Magazine has strict specifications for electronic
