The Trust of Our Readers
The volume of business information that is available to today's logistics executives can be overwhelming at times. That's why earning their trust as the market's most reliable and useful source of information is critical to a magazine brand's success.
To gauge a magazine's impact on its market, you just can't beat research that surveys an independent audience. Given our investment in the quality of our brand and the composition of our editorial and design teams, it should come as no surprise that DC VELOCITY has emerged the clear winner in four important readership studies. In surveys conducted among attendees at trade shows like ProMat and D/C Expo as well as annual conferences held by CSCMP, WERC, and the National Industrial Transportation League, respondents all rated DC VELOCITY the best.
The bottom line: Since its launch in 2003, DC VELOCITY has won every single readership study it has conducted. Among these are:
- Readership of Logistics Publications by Attendees of ProMat 2007 – July 2007
