Editorial Calendar

Please take a minute to peruse the new advertising opportunities available to promote your product or service in this year’s editorial line-up. The more you advertise… the more you sell.

January

Raising the Bar
Along with the issue articles on Raising the Bar in credit, why not showcase your own company’s best practices and efforts to step up to challenges with a Case Study* of a successful product implementation? Articles cover best practice research, tools, models and instruments to help credit managers achieve their most strategic business goals and objectives—with a focus on results. Includes linking to business objectives and positive change, process analysis, design, implementation, follow-up and evaluation.

*Case Studies are extremely lucrative advertising: many advertisers find that Case Studies generate more advertising leads than a regular paid ad. Why not showcase how your product helps companies achieve a best practice?

February
Credit Real-Time
The February issue topic is general in scope, and touches on many of the topics that will be presented at the upcoming 2007 Credit Congress in Las Vegas. The Credit Congress schedule, session descriptions, speaker biographies and hotel information will be woven throughout articles in this issue. A great issue in which to advertise—make sure your exhibitor reservations are in place, so you can put your booth number on your ad!
March
Scoring Risk
This issue topic has been requested by members and is popular with advertisers. Today, many organizations are exploring the potential offered by scoring and forecasting models. We provide a general overview, and specific articles that focus on statistical foundations, scoring applications, implementation and optimal use of scores. Additional emphasis on understanding the components of performance, analysis techniques, making scenario-based forecasts, forecasting techniques, modeling macroeconomic impacts and the applications of forecasting in credit and finance.

How about a Case Study* or a double-page spread? If you are a vendor of credit scoring or credit analysis tools or services, this is THE issue for you to take advantage of.

April

B-to-B Relations (Pre-Conference Issue)
Pre-show advertising is critical to your success! Maximize pre-show awareness with a full-page ad or Case Study* in this issue. Visibility has impact when potential attendees are planning for Credit Congress: gain extra exposure before the Exhibit Hall even opens. In their hands weeks before Credit Congress begins, advertising in this issue enables attendees plenty of time to take full advantage of their upcoming visits in the Exhibit Hall.

Many Credit Managers find that a major part of their job is really about managing relationships and related issues due to disputed debts, contractual terms and inconsistencies—among internal divisions of their own companies. Many of these issues can be addressed by automated information systems that track customer response and reliability, reduce exposure, track contract transactions and performance, ensure contract compliance and ultimately enhance trade relationships and profitability.

If you sell a product that helps manage these details for busy financial management professionals, you can reach our select audience by advertising in this issue.
