Direct Mail - AAPA Seaports Magazine

Go Beyond the Publication!

Direct Mail – Go above and beyond to catch readers’ attention by placing a postcard inside the clear bag that Seaports Magazine is mailed in. Whether you’re promoting an event, a new product, your company or your entire product line – placing a direct mail piece in the polybag ensures tremendous exposure, tangibly called-out for your company.

Belly Band – Ensure your message is the first thing readers see by wrapping it around the magazine. Because readers must detach the belly band to access the rest of the publication, your ad is ideally placed to be noticed.

Additional mechanical charges may apply. Rate is per insertion. Reservation is on a first-come first-served basis.

Sponsorship Opportunities

TWO PAGE SPREAD
Includes one full page of editorial and one full-page ad

ONE PAGE SPREAD
Includes one full page of editorial

Below are the guiding principles for your thought leadership piece.

Content should be educational in nature and solution-based, geared to solving a common problem or need within the ports industry. The educational content should not promote the company’s product or service but rather communicate best practices that would allow readers to be more effective and efficient in their roles.
Content should include practical, useful information in which readers would find value, and should be independent of the particular editorial advertiser. The overall message and tone should not be promotional in nature.
Separately from the educational content, editorial advertisers are encouraged to also include information about their company, testimonials and other helpful resources, but these mentions should be separate from the main messaging.
AAPA reserves the right to edit or alter content or deny the ad as it deems necessary to meet the above requirements and provide maximum value for its members.
Content must identify company and state that it’s an advertisement.
