AV Professionals Choose PRO AV Magazine 3-1

According to an independent study done by Pacific Media Associates, three times as many professionals in the AV industry choose PRO AV magazine over their competitors, when asked which periodical they read first. The study also reveals that over 40 percent of surveyed industry professionals read PRO AV on a regular basis — more than twice those who chose the leading competitors.

“This study reaffirms our belief that PRO AV is unmatched in providing professionals with the up-to-date information and real-world solutions they need to thrive in the AV industry,” says Jon Yoffie, Associate Publisher, PRO AV. “We are already the market-share leaders in ad pages. Coupled with this new research, you can see why PRO AV has become the #1 publication in the AV industry.”

Published monthly, PRO AV is read by 20,000 contractors, dealers, distributors, consultants and end-users. The magazine focuses equally on audio and video products and applications with editorial coverage of the day-to-day information needs of its readers, including the latest industry trends, technologies and products. PRO AV was acquired by Hanley Wood in January of 2007 and along with Digital Home, is a cornerstone of the growing technology group.
