Five Reasons Why a Section in the Printing Supplies
Catalog Is the Best Way to Promote Your brand on the Russian Market
- To be published in the Catalog is prestigious. The Catalog is well-known in Russia.
It has been published for the last 23 years. The print-run is 40000 copies. The
subscribers are 26000 Russian specialists from 16000 companies.
- A possibility to present the brand to the buyers of
OEM cartridges. The
catalog contains original cartridge compatibility charts for all ÎÅÌ. The advertisement placement in the
sections dedicated to OEM cartridges is an effective way to attract attention
of original cartridge buyers towards your brand.
- A possibility to present a brand and establish a
dialog with large Russian buyers and resellers. The Catalog is given away for free to all the
participants of the conferences organized by the Russian AQCMS association
together with Information Agency Business-Inform. This is more than 5000
specialists of the large Russian businesses – buyers and suppliers of printing

is a mini-catalog of your brand. You can place it on your web-site or virtual
