Available advertising sells out within 14 days of launch
TAMPA BAY, FL – (September 21st, 2009) – The Hackers Paradise (www.thehackersparadise.com), the premier destination on the internet to discuss all things golf, announced today that THP the Magazine, their print publication debuting in December officially sold out every advertisement in less than 2 full weeks for its inaugural issue.
They announced the print publication to the industry just 2 weeks ago and within 4 days sold 87% of the advertising space and within 14 days sold every page available.
“We are thrilled that in these economic times the companies that we have worked with over the past year stood by us and see value in what we are bringing to the table”, said THP president Josh Babbitt. “Companies see a value and a market with what we are bringing to the table and in the end the goal is reaching consumers in a format that we feel has not been done as of yet.”
THP’s 1st issue is a collector’s edition for the readers that will be of shortened length and will highlight a few things going on.
THP’s Reader’s Choice Awards for 2009
* A photo article on the new irons from different manufacturers
* Our Holiday Gift Guide filled with items at different price points
* Letter from the Publisher giving an introduction to the world of THP
* Interview with a PGA Tour Player
* And much more
“We are not sure anything like this has been done before. By building our reader base first and then going to a complete print publication, it gives the companies joining us in this endeavor a chance to get feedback via the website and forum on what exactly they are paying for. Companies will be able to come to www.thehackersparadise.com and see a designated forum specifically for the magazine with consumer response immediately.”
The regular edition of THP the Magazine kicks off in 2010 and will be set at four issues per year to go with each season. “In the economy that we are all in together, we will have different plans that companies can take advantage of that will give them returns and feedback, that they have never seen. By customizing plans for each company, they will have assistance like never before in advertising, social networking, online media, and even public relations assistance.”
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 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. Earlier this year, THP announced the arrival of its inaugural golf magazine, which will debut in December.
