Inaugural Issue to Debut in December and Feature Original Content and Year End Company Awards
TAMPA BAY, FL – (August 11, 2009) – The Hackers Paradise (www.thehackersparadise.com), the premier destination on the internet to discuss all things golf, today announced the creation of THP magazine, a high gloss print publication that will debut in December and feature original equipment reviews, company profiles and THP’s Year End Award Nominations.
“Launching a golf publication – especially in these challenging economic times – is a big endeavor, however we wouldn’t tackle a project of this magnitude if the demand wasn’t there,” said THP President Josh Babbitt. “Since the inception of the website, our unique visitors have trended upward every month and THP has been well received by all types of golf companies from equipment to apparel to accessories. As a result, we believe the opportunity exists to parlay the emergence of the website into a viable publication that allows a new way for our ideas, products, and the companies we work with to get into the consumers’ thoughts and hands.”
Currently The Hacker’s Paradise boasts company news, product reviews, an interactive forum and weekly contests. THP’s website is also the only large traffic site that does not offer OEM advertising in an effort to provide the reader with the most unbiased viewpoint.
THP the Magazine will print four times a year and will have a different flavor than the traditional golf magazine. December’s inaugural issue will feature THP’s Year End Award Nominations. Last year, THP distributed awards to more than 10 companies in more than 15 categories. This year, nominations from more than 15 categories will be featured on the pages of the magazine and readers will have the opportunity to vote via the THP website.
The inaugural issue will be a collectible of sorts to most of our readers. There will be 16 full pages of ad space available to advertisers.
THP, which launched its online forum in October 2008, is adding new members daily and has quickly become the online home to golf enthusiasts across the country garnering more than 50,000 unique visitors per month ever since holding its Huge Charity Raffle http://thehackersparadise.com/home/?p=2113 earlier this year.
Unlike other golf websites, THP produces original reviews daily ranging from the latest in men’s and women’s equipment, apparel, accessories, footwear, tees, distance measuring devices, instructional aids and more. Because THP does not accept advertising from OEM’s or other golf-related companies, readers can be sure each review is thorough and unbiased.
