We discuss US rates and frequency discounts directly.  Ads in fDI are generally full page and in color, with some half page color ads, so comparisons to BW rates of magazines which discount heavily or don't attract the attention and interest of top executives can be confusing.

Rates are very competitive with quality business magazines for "C-level" executives.

 

We can also feature US advertisers in fDi through this website and our related www.gdi-solutions.com reference site for global business locations and professional services.  This makes it easier for executives and business advisors to quickly find and respond to advertisers when relevant to their current interests or investment project plans.

In general, we would like to know more about your marketing objectives, what differentiates your location or service brand, and your targeting priorities so that we can consider the best ways to work together to attract the attention of the senior executives fDi reaches through display or online ads, networking events, and editorial content relevant to their interests.

Reader testimonials about fDi magazine

"I love the fresh coverage in fDi….It's really useful when we are exploring new expansion ideas…."    Mario Armero, President, General Electric-Europe

"I tend to read the Economist for overall news and fDi is my source when I want to get down to the nitty gritty on investment strategy….."   Martin McCourt, CEO, Dyson

 

"fDi magazine provides incisive coverage of the macroeconomic, trade and investment trends that shape global business, as well as thorough analysis of the business and regulatory environments in significant markets." 

Martin Wolf - Chief Economist and Deputy Editor, The Financial Times

 

"I have been reading fDi magazine since its launch a few years back, and find it a very valuable source of information on investment trends and topics.  It offers high quality content, is objective and neutral in its opinions about locations covered in its articles, and as far as I know is the only truly global investment magazine in the market.  I think it certainly meets a need."

"Articles from fDi magazine often turn up in Google searches on topics I am researching for various clients, such as FDI trends, special economic zones, and much more. Almost invariably, these articles are relevant, well-researched and well-written."

Audited circulation

Available on request.  In summary, it is 15,500 qualified subscribers, with research estimating total readership of 45,000.

This is roughly 40% in North America, 40% in Europe, and 20% in Asia and elsewhere.  The editorial focus is reaching "C-level" and other top executives who are directly responsible for strategic business location decisions.

Although some other magazines in this market report a larger subscriber base, a closer review of their statistics will generally reveal that only 6,000 - 12,000 of their readers work at companies with over 500 employees, and those are almost entirely in the USA, and not necessarily at the most senior levels.

They may reach many top executives at small firms, but there are only a few thousand major projects each year (over 50 new jobs).  Small projects add up, but reaching many thousands of small company executives is not the same thing as reaching the C-level of multinationals with the resources to develop major projects.

Website visit statistics

Available on request.  As of January 2006 there were roughly 32,000 visitors to www.fdimagazine.com each month.

This has been growing rapidly since the launch of the website in April 2003 after the magazine in 2001.  As of November 2005 Google statistics reported that it had already indexed 1970 pages of content on their site.

Since our own websites now attract 600,000+ visitors per year, and prominently feature fDi magazine's website through many relevant links, we expect that many of our visitors will discover the quality of fDi magazine content and make use of their research and reporting as they search online for useful information and contacts for their own project plans.
