When maintenance and engineering managers lookfor information and education a majority of themdon't start with digital, they turn to print. Morespecifically, they turn to trade magazines. Because ofthis we always suggest marketing programs containboth print and digital components to reach thisaudience. Trade magazines may be considered oldschool, boring and not very sexy, but they are still veryeffective when marketing to facilities executives.
Print is PreferredThe 2018 Facility Maintenance Decisions media usage study of subscribers found that trademagazines were the number one source they use to learn about products and brands forpurchase. Trade magazines finished ahead of search engines, websites, and social. Print does abetter job than digital when it comes to getting your brand in front of facilities executives. Inhindsight, this shouldn't be too surprising, as the average maintenance/engineering manager is53 years old. This generation was raised on print and continues to rely on print as their primarysource for information and education.

Color TypographyFor optimum reproduction and clear and sharp copy, use sans serif fonts such as Arial, Calibri,Helvetica, Myriad or similar for small type. Reverse type reproduces best with large bold sansserif fonts. The same is true for color type. Thin serif fonts are difficult to read in color or reversetype. It is recommended that four color type and/or small four color reverse knock-outs beavoided. Black type that uses four color blends should never be used (Registration not allowed).
