Print Media

When planning print try not to be swept off your feet by charming sales reps. Purchase publications that fit your media strategy.As always, try to purchase the best placements for the lowest rate. Negotiate negotiate negotiate. I've detailed my favorites below in order of preference. Again, the key placements very publication to publication.
