Magazines

Paintball Sports has finally given up the ghost and so it pretty much leaves Faceful and APG ......
I have heard rumours of both those magazines having problems and maybes they are of the opinion that since they are the only ones left, then it makes sense to hang around a while because the industry has to advertise somewhere ..........
This thinking is OK as long as the industry guys still believe the printed matter has a role to play in terms of promotion but as we all know, the playing demographic is getting younger and these guys tend tend to inhabit the world of the internet rather than W.H. Smiths ..... and so that's where companies may want to invest any advertising budgets.
Sad but true
PS And you are right, PGi won't be making any return, we had our time!

robbo, i think its fair to say i fall into the group your talkin about being 17,
and iv got to say, other than PGI, PBUK and welt, i wasent aware there were other paintball mags...
its all very well putting advertisment money into mags, but if you dont know the mags are out there, then its all gone to waist
think ill be having a good look round my local W.H. smiths next time im in town
unless of coure its just me not paying much attention...

Mac, the other magazines weren't really sold here, they were on sale in the US and all of them were doing pretty well, advertising wise, up until about 3 years ago.
PGi sold 90% of our magazines in the US and if you were to ever be regarded as a serious mag, you needed newsstand distribution in the US.
This also meant, 90% of our revenue was US based in terms of advertising because magazine sales only really covered their printing costs.
Planet Eclipse sell Facefull through their website. And PBUK and X3 and I think one other when they get them in.
that would explain why i havent seen any mags in my newagents or anything
ohh well, just like the US to steal all the good stuff!!!
