PAI Sales Case Study

From Monthly Publication To Award-Winning Journal With Dozens of Regular Advertisers

To do so meant significant increases in production costs. From no ad sales revenue at the start, we developed and launched a program that resulted in over $450,000 in annual advertising revenue in four years, including through the economic downturn of 2008-2009.
