Ad in current CTT

[HONDO74]

Right. And we just keep on signing up subscribers for our magazine that's on the way out.

Do you sell ads for your magazine or is it strictly subscription. How many do you have at this time.

We sell ads and subscriptions. How many ads? Meaningless question since there are many sizes and locations like back and inside front cover - there's a chart with pricing based on size & location - I used to carry the card with me at shows to hand out; used to be a 4x6 card; now it's a full page. Percentage vs. content has shifted slightly with new owners and house adverts taking a few pages.

Regarding the other publication that I'm also the Editor of, there are zero adverts in it.

I vaguely recall that the owner of this business is a train person, and that's why the ad is there. Partly due to the demographics of the hobby (mostly over 60 these days) and the enthusiasm of the owner of the company for CTT. Perhaps I'm making all this up and I need more oxygen, but I do recall some such story as these ads have appeared previously some years ago.

I'm grateful for the print magazines. I read lots on line but I like hard copy too and fortunately I can afford to pay for it. The NY Times on-line is like $52 a year compared with hard copy delivered around $400-600 as I recall. Both seem to be doing well.

And the ads probably pay more money than all the train related crap in CTT.

Probably not; advertising rates are set and visible, and scaled to the source of the advertising. If you do otherwise and folks find out about it, not only is it fraud, you're also out of business as all of your advertisers will walk.

Magazines are on their way out just like the brick & mortar train stores.

I did - thinner.......

I''m looking to see if we can make my one publication 4 or 8 pages bigger. Other publication close to doubled in pages over the 1st year I took over the Editor job.

Great. I will for that. Good luck.

Ya know, for all the angst generated by this new ad that nobody has ever seen in CTT before.....

January 2017 p. 55.

Looks like the FIRST ad generated enough interest for a second ad to be placed.

I wonder if anybody bought one?

I forsee ads for pacemakers for when your TIU thingy reports "engine not found"

[chuck]

Pretty big jump from page 55 to page "6". Also a pretty big gap of two years between ads.

The TV ads are pretty disingenuous. They claim the devices to be "making" oxygen. Making it from what? They really just pull away the nitrogen leaving the air stream to be around 90% oxygen.

If it was cracking it from CO2 that would be impressive (and environmentally friendly).

Even more impressive would be to do carbon fusion which would eliminate carbon, produce oxygen and helium thus reducing our carbon footprint and keeping all the party balloons and MRI machines "working". Win-win. Only need a 600+ million degree fusion reactor. May take a while to get it down to portable/shoulder unit. I don't think Medicare will cover it.

OMG if MTH made pacemakers they would have been sued out of existence decades ago!

John, my sides are aching!!!
