Our website receives thousands of hits — 284,000 unique visitors per year in fact, which translates to nearly 800 unique visitors each and every day — from people looking for information on products, how to’s, technical information, and discussions on techniques. Since 2005, we have fine-tuned our subscription base and distribution plan to ensure you receive the maximum return on your marketing dollar.
Our strong circulation is distributed to over 20,000 individuals and businesses, including virtually every ICF distributor and professional installer in North America. About 75% of our circulation is the print edition while the other 25% is digital distribution. In light of the global pandemic, we will be increasing the digital visibility of ICF Builder at virtual events and trade shows, in a way that makes sense for each individual event.
About one-third of our readership has taken the time to seriously investigate ICF construction, and have enrolled in an ICF training course within the past few years. That’s 7,000 individuals learning the benefits of ICFs, and are a prime target market for advertisers.
Another 7,000 readers are custom homebuilders, concrete contractors, and commercial builders considered most likely to become interested in ICF building. Thousands of extra copies are distributed at ICF training seminars in addition to regional and national trade shows throughout the year.
Most of our readership is concentrated in the U.S., and represents areas across the country where ICF is established as a common method of building as well as areas where interest in ICF construction is growing most rapidly.
Between our print platform, digital edition, and highly-ranked websites, you will receive a better return on your marketing dollar by advertising with ICF Builder magazine than any other magazine or method on the market.
