Growing in subscriber numbers rapidly, the Compressed Air Best Practices® Monthly e-Newsletter reaches 2,300 professionals. In 2012, Average Open Rates (32%) and Click-Through Rates (49%) were incredibly high. For this reason, in 2013, we are proud to announce the expansion of our Monthly e-Newsletter to three distinctly separate e-Newsletters.
Advertisers receive a customized CTR report detailing how many people received the email, how many opened it and how many clicked on something. Then, they can see how many clicked on their ad. As a bonus, we send a list of the companies who clicked on their ad sorted by End User, Compressed Air OEM, Engineering Firm/Consultant and Compressed Air Distributor.
Air compressor technology & Automation monthly e-newsletter
With a focus on Supply-Side Optimization, air compressor technologies and compressor control systems are profiled. System Assessment articles detail what compressor controls allow kWh consumption to match system demand.
compressed Air measurement monthly e-newsletter
If there is no Compressed Air Flow, Dewpoint, Oil, Pressure and kWh Measurement, how can one effectively manage the system? Content provides “how-to examples” of System Assessments and Technology Profiles of the required instruments.
