Email Blasts

Email blasts are an affordable way to initiate direct contact with CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY subscribers – direct contact that can be personalized and customized to meet your company’s marketing goals.

CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY takes great care not to fatigue our email database. We do, however, have a segment of our subscribers who opted in and indicated that they would like additional information via email from industry suppliers and services.

Opt-in email blasts are handled by UP Media Group, and the initial cost is $360/m. Please add a flat fee of $150 to include your suppression list of 100k or less. Tracking is a flat fee of $75. Please allow a 10-day window for your blast to be emailed, as we monitor our database to avoid list fatigue.

Email lists may be selected at an additional $10/m per category, based on these selections from the CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY subscription form:

  • Geographical region
  • Primary industry
  • Job function

Any of these options can be combined to create a customized list to reach your best prospects.

List rental policies. Minimum and maximum order is 5,000 names. Please allow a 10-day window for your blast to be emailed, as we monitor our database to avoid list fatigue.

Use approval. All orders must be accompanied by a sample mailing piece for approval. The publisher reserves the right to refuse any order for list rental.

Payment terms. Prepaid.

Partner with PCD&F. Opt-in subscribers to PCD&F, the trade publication for the printed circuit board design and fabrication market, are also available for email blasts. For information, contact Jennifer Schuler.

The Myth of 'Clicks'

When it comes to digital advertising, "click-throughs" are no longer king.

That's what leading online brands such as Facebook have learned. According to Brad Smallwood, Facebook head of measurement and insights, "While designing online ads to garner clicks makes sense for certain types of companies -- such as e-commerce firms trying to ring up immediate online sales -- clicks are not relevant to brand marketers."

For brand advertisers, fine-tuning the number of times a consumer sees an ad as well as ensuring that the ad has reached all of its target audience are far more effective techniques, most leading firms have learned. The best approach, these companies say, is to think of a website as a digital billboard: Put your ad in the right place, and you'll be sure all your prospects see it. That's how you build a brand in the digital age: one viewer, and not one click, at a time.
