Gentlemen - if you were advertising a Porsche upgrade product focused on the modern 911's which Magazine(s) would you select to advertise in - indeed would you even bother?

Thanks in advance!

Pistonheads.com is good - Ted does good banner ad deals, and the target market is rich, affluent and handsome. Apart from iguana

Magazine-in-the-trad-sense wise, I would say Porsche Post (pcgb club mag) offers the best opportunities, then I'd have a look at Evo (more general, but with right kind of readers and many other upgrade advertisers), then 911and Porsche World, followed finally by Purely Porsche.

Big media budget means doing all; small one means picking some near the top of the list.

All in my opinion, naturlich.

I Run a media planning and buying Agency If you mail me via my profile I will send you a BRAD data report on all of the above.
PS agree with dom regarding pistonheads could work well for online.
You need to look carefully at the three in print as non are audited by ABC as of today only a publishers statment is listed.

Always good to have the product first tested by a few individuals ;-)

Then have the product tested by a few independent companies, eg JZM, NM, etc

Also mail Phil Raby at 911 & Porsche World and demo the product. Maybe some free advertising in there somewhere.

Well it all depends on the product & your target audience.

For example a new revolutionary left handed cross splined jiggle pin for a 1970s 911E, EVO or Autocar is hardly the place for you, stick to the marque magazines.

If however its for example products for tuning 911 turbos well then the recent editorial exposure for someone like DMS in mainstream petrolhead mags like EVO has proved amazingly effective.

For all mags tho, editorial (i.e. getting the mag to write about it- rather than just an advert in the back of the mag) is worth much more than ads, although the mags will often- *nudge nudge wink wink* want you to advertise in them for an agreed period before they agree run an editorial piece for you & often will do editorials for long & loyal advertisers when they have a new product.

Unless perhaps its something a bit wild and exciting, like say the balistic 9ff turbo, in which case they are gagging to be the ones to have such a great article.



Ps-
