As the new owners, we are honored to carry forward a publication that has served the manufacturing community for more than 20 years.
Our commitment is simple: preserve what makes A2Z trusted — and strengthen the areas that help our advertisers succeed.
In just our first month, we launched a completely redesigned website at www.A2Zmanufacturing.com.
This update reflects the direction we are heading: modern, easy to navigate, and built to increase visibility for our advertisers while delivering even stronger content to our readers. Much like the manufacturing world, A2Z is evolving — not away from its roots, but forward in a way that supports today’s needs.
Over the next few months, we will continue rolling out new digital tools and community features that will expand industry engagement and help ensure your message reaches the right audience across multiple platforms.
Honoring the Legacy of A2Z
We want to express our sincere gratitude to Kim and Linda, whose passion and hard work shaped this publication for more than two decades. Their foundation is what allows us to build the next chapter, and we are committed to upholding the mission they established.
2026 Email Marketing Expansion
Starting in 2026, A2Z will be greatly expanding its email marketing capabilities. Every issue will now be emailed directly to our full subscriber list, giving your advertisements both print and digital visibility with each publication.
We have also brought inhouse email marketing specialists to help optimize performance and ensure your ad dollars go further in the digital space.
In the new year, we will introduce several new email-based advertising opportunities, including:
Dedicated email features
Featured stories
Content blocks
Logo or business-highlight placements
These additions are designed to give advertisers more ways to expand reach and strengthen brand visibility. More details will be shared in early 2026.
Convenient New Billing and Planning Tools
As part of our modernization, we will be shifting from physical invoices to digital QuickBooks invoices, where you can conveniently pay by ACH or credit card.
We are also introducing more streamlined internal processes for advertisers. Soon, all advertisers will use an insertion form system, which will help clarify run schedules, improve communication, and ensure every advertisement receives consistent, high-quality placement.
Design Support Now Available
We are thrilled to welcome a professional graphic designer to the A2Z team. If your ad could use a refresh—or if you need help building new creative from scratch—we’re here to support you. Clean, compelling design helps improve visibility and response, and this service is now available to all advertisers. Contact us as advertising@a2zmanufacturing.com to learn more.
New LinkedIn Support for Advertisers
To expand your reach beyond the magazine, we will be offering LinkedIn posting services to highlight our advertisers and increase your digital presence starting in the new year. This is a simple way to complement your print and digital advertising with additional online exposure.
We also invite you to follow our LinkedIn page and share it with your network. Every new follower helps amplify the reach of your message across the manufacturing community.
Referral Savings
To thank you for helping grow the A2Z community, we are offering a one-time 10% discount on any cover story or advertisement for each referral who signs on.
Print Advertising Remains One of the Most Effective Ways to Reach Manufacturers
Recent research from the Baxter Research Center continues to show the strength of niche print publications:
75% of readers spend 30+ minutes with each issue
80% revisit the same issue multiple times — often 3 or more
75% keep an issue for at least a month, increasing ad visibility far beyond a single read
Print readers are 37% more likely to pay attention to advertisements than online audiences
