Reader Response Program Generates Results

Continental magazine offers advertisers an extra response vehicle through our active Reader Response Program. Each month, advertisers can opt to be listed on the Free Product Information page and readers can request information from an advertiser through a Business Reply Card in the magazine.

This program has been very successful for advertisers. Year after year, responses from readers continue to increase. For the period of January through May 2006, responses increased 61% over the same period in 20041.
