Where do I start on trade magazines that rock my boat? You’ve definitely come to the right bloke for this article.
This week I achieved coverage in Farmers Weekly. A tip-top magazine for farmers, with a brilliant circulation of nearly 40,000 each week.
Farmers Weekly fosters a sense of community among farmers across the UK. It provides a platform to share experiences, best practices, and challenges faced by others in the profession. This can be particularly valuable for those in remote areas or facing specific agricultural issues.
The trade magazine world often gets a bad rap for being dry and niche. How wrong people are. In the UK, nestled amongst fantastic plumbing periodicals and logistics listings, lies a treasure trove of the peculiar – trade magazines catering to some truly unique industries.
Here’s a peek at a few crackers leading the way:
Professional Pest Controller (PPC) Magazine
This aptly-named magazine keeps its readers up-to-date on the latest in rodent relocation and insect interception. Packed with articles on innovative traps, fumigation techniques, and the psychology of pests it’s essential reading for the modern exterminator. Created by the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), PPC has been running for over 100 issues.
Funeral Director Monthly
This magazine tackles the complexities of the funeral business. From green burial options to commemorative headstone design, it provides funeral directors with the latest industry insights and resources. Award-winning Funeral Director Monthly is the official publication of the National Association of Funeral Directors.
Lube Magazine
I’ve had the pleasure of gaining coverage in Lube Magazine many times. Lube Magazine isn’t your average magazine. Published by the UK Lubricants Association (UKLA), it’s the official journal for the European Union of the Lubricants Industry (UEIL). This bi-monthly publication offers a European perspective on the global lubricants market.
Distributed in over 100 countries, Lube Magazine caters to industry professionals. It features articles on technical advancements, industry trends, and emerging technologies within the lubricants sector. Available in print and digital formats, the magazine keeps readers informed about the ever-evolving world of lubricants.
The National Sheep Association Journal
Dedicated to all things ovine, this magazine offers articles on breeding best practices, shearing techniques, and even sheepdog training. A woolly good read for anyone involved in the British sheep industry.
Forecourt Trader
Another one I’m proud to have gained coverage in. Forecourt Trader caters to the UK’s petrol forecourt industry. From fuel and convenience store retailing to car wash operations and in-store promotions, Forecourt Trader covers it all. Articles delve into industry challenges like rising fuel costs and changing consumer habits. The magazine also features interviews with key industry figures and explores successful forecourt business models. Whether you’re a retailer, supplier, or industry professional, Forecourt Trader keeps you informed and ahead of the pump.
These quirky trade magazines highlight the UK’s diverse business landscape and the wealth of specialist knowledge that exists beyond the mainstream. And long may it continue!
