Magazine Published by CM Services Honored
The March/April 2006 issue of TileDealer, the bimonthly magazine published by CM Services, Inc., the Association Partnership Company® on behalf of the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA), received a Bronze Award for Association Trade Magazines in the Association Trends All Media Contest.
In making the announcement CM Services president and CTDA Executive Director Rick Church noted the award is particularly pleasing because TileDealer is only three years old and because the annual competition sponsored by Association Trends attracts top-notch entries from associations throughout the United States.
TileDealer was launched with the November/December 2003 issue and quickly gained readership and advertising support in the highly competitive ceramic tile and stone trade press marketplace. Its readers include more than 12,000 tile dealers and distributors. Editorial content includes product trends, installation updates, and sales and marketing strategies for the magazine’s readers. One of the features setting TileDealer apart from its competitors is a regular One-on-One interview with an industry leader. Subjects have included innovative manufacturers, designers, and international industry leaders.
TileDealer also has a companion website, www.tiledealer.org, designed and hosted by CM Services, which features complete archives of the magazine as well as additional website exclusives.
Presentation of the awards is scheduled for February 2, 2007, at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC, Association Trends’ Salute to Association Excellence.
