Dear advertising director,

By now, we hope you’ve enjoyed our Summer 2010 issue of PhotoMedia on Nature and Landscape with Daniel Beltra’s dramatic Gulf oil spill photo on the cover. As we continue to present compelling editorial and visuals, PhotoMedia has been a hit with our readers, and a boost in circulation in the last two years from 23,000 to 28,000 copies and expanded distribution has benefitted advertisers.

Proudly, PhotoMedia just recently won its EIGHTH consecutive APEX Grand Award (and NINTH in eleven years – a unique achievement) — this time for Best Photograph, plus its TWELFTH APEX Award of Excellence, this one for Personality Profiles. And in May, PhotoMedia received its SIXTH Maggie Award, this time for Best Semi-Annual or 3X/Year Trade Publication, along with two additional nominations for Best Interview or Profile/Trade and Best Single Editorial Photograph/Trade. That brings our Maggie Award totals to 23 nominations with SIX wins in eleven years (previous wins include Best Tabloid/Trade-twice , Best Cover/Trade, Best Interview or Profile/Trade and Best Single Editorial Photo/Trade). Pretty cool, eh?!

Also, our recently completely redesigned PhotoMedia website, www.PhotoMedia online.com, is undergoing another major redesign with enhanced functionality and will launch by the release date of our Fall issue. New online advertising opportunities will be available, including Google Ad Sense ads, for those interested. New high-quality editorial content continues to get posted regularly to keep our visitors interested in returning. Please explore the site – you’ll be impressed! You can also conveniently access comprehensive advertising information while there.

Our upcoming Fall/Holiday 2010 issue, due out October 5, focuses on studio photography along with our regular columns and departments, which will surely keep our readers absorbed from cover-to-cover. Maximize your sales and connect with them while they’re shopping for year-end tax write-offs and holiday gifts and are most interested in your products and/or services.
