SPRAYTIME will continue to grow by reaching across other
industries (AWS, SAE, NACE, ASME, etc.) for pertinent information-sharing
and additional readership. As a result of this collaboration
with other professional industries, open enrollment and
an expanded readership base, we expect our circulation to
increase significantly to 10,000 in this decade.
If you are a member of the thermal spray community or have
an interest in thermal spray, SPRAYTIME is your newsletter
and we continue to encourage and welcome your contributions
of articles, news, and events.
ITSA is proud of what we started with SPRAYTIME in 1992
and what we have planned for future expansion of news and

We
need your help to keep this news momentum flowing and firmly
establish SPRAYTIME as a world class newsletter within the
thermal spray industry. You and your Company have
the opportunity to help design the content of your newsletter.
In a survey of the thermal spray community many years ago,
the top five areas of newsletter interest were identified
as:
|
| |
| 1. |
Shop Talk solutions
and unique approaches |
| 2. |
Industry applications
of interest |
| 3. |
Industry News |
| 4. |
Commercial Developments
of interest |
| 5. |
Research News
|
In plain words, we are looking for the kind of stories
you like to read - "hands-on" activity and
applications that you can learn from, dreams and designs
that became a reality (equipment, supplies, and processes),
problems identified and solved, problems identified
and not solved, people in the news (promotions, special
awards, new employees), and facility news (new buildings,
expansions, increased focus on thermal spray business,
new thermal spray activity), research in progress,
research needed, upcoming events, and general information
of interest to the thermal spray community.
We also welcome articles in a Thermally Interesting
category which would cover the more casual, unique,
historical, and imaginative stories. Topics for this
area include, but are not limited to, creative answers
or explanations to the question . ."What is thermal
spray?"; the most difficult or easiest spray
job; the most unusual/unique item sprayed; the smallest,
largest, longest, shortest item sprayed; humorous
episodes; historical facts; unique new product introduction;
and humorous use of thermal spray terminology
Articles can be as small as one paragraph and as
large as one page (approximately 1000 words or 750
words with three photos or charts). All articles are
reviewed for appropriate content, put in order of
preference by date received, and inserted as space
allows. For product sales and promotion, please provide
press releases or arrange for advertisement space.
Please remind your marketing and sales staff to send
press releases to the SPRAYTIME Publishing Office.

This is
your industry newsletter and it can only reflect the industry
as it is known to us. We would appreciate knowing whether
we are adequately balancing areas of interest that meet your
needs. We do plan to conduct an online readership survey in
the near future. In the interim, please take the time to share
your views and comments. |
| |
|
All members
have the opportunity to purchase extra SPRAYTIME copies at
a very reasonable rate if requests are known prior to printing.
Newsletter copies are a valuable promotional tool, especially
when the issue includes information about your company! |
| |
|
We look for opportunities to increase SPRAYTIME distribution.
Please let us know about any regional or local thermal spray
activity that would be interested in having complimentary
copies of SPRAYTIME for distribution to their participants.
This could include any thermal spray related meeting, training
class, small conference or exposition, chapter meeting,
product or service demonstration, career night at a school
or university, or your own company open house. Although
there is no charge related to providing these SPRAYTIME
complimentary newsletters, they will only be available when
requests are made far enough in advance so that print quantities
can be increased.
Please share this information with your marketing,
advertising and sales staff and suggest that they contact
me with any questions relative to these new opportunities.

We look
forward to responding to your comments and meeting your needs
so that SPRAYTIME will continue as a flagship newsletter.
We have tried to include information on all the frequently
asked questions about the SPRAYTIME newsletter. Please contact
