What You Should Know

PERFORMANCE Magazine is the only national publication that
details proven strategies and tactics for improved business and
professional performance from among the most powerful and
successful individuals today …

PERFORMANCE Magazine is unique in that we reach both B2B and
B2C Markets.

Approximately 90 percent of our readers spend an average of 45-
minutes per edition, archive the magazine for future reference and
have indicated sharing (lending!) the publication to at least four more
people*.

Unlike most life-style and business publication that contain more fluff
and ads than substance or negative commentary on the world today,
and have a life span of less than ten minutes …

PERFORMANCE Magazine readers are high influencers, high
earners, and have high expectations of their personal professional
performance success … and look for guidance and resources to help
them in that aim!

PERFORMANCE Magazine maintains an 60-plus percent page count
of hard hitting editorial, places ads in relationship to editorial, and
never has competing business ads facing off!

While the average American household has an annual income
in the mid-40s, our reader profile is over twice that number.
PERFORMANCE readers typically have a higher-than-average
education, greater net worth and are more likely to own their own
home*.

Why is this information surprising? We have known since the
inception of PERFORMANCE Magazine, that our reader prides
him-or-herself on finding strategies and techniques for improving
their personal and professional performance. This publication is not
the typical newspaper or magazine reader who wants trendy pop ideas
and answers with little sustained impact but desire real answers to real
business questions.
