DO YOU SUPPLY THE CHANNEL?February 2018 will see the sixth edition of this comprehensive and popular business directory (sponsored by Nuvias Group).

The platform has grown from strength to strength over the years and has steadily become the Channel’s quick and easy “go-to guide” to find out about key players in the market. It’s a vital guide for learning more about the professional expertise and products and services available in today’s ever-changing market.

u Why should you be profiled? – With every supplier having their own identity and personality, setting them apart from their competitors, Channel Profiles is the only platform that existing customers and prospects can turn to and find out what you have to offer.

u Who will see your profile? – With the highest quality and quantity of readers, your profile will be seen by over 15,000 Channel professionals in its printed format. A further 20,000 copies of the digital version will be sent out to the Comms Business ICT Channel database.

u When will it be seen? – The guide is printed and sent out to the full circulation alongside the February 2018 issue of Comms Business (Info graph below). Channel Profiles will also be distributed over the two days of Channel Live 2018. As well as hitting the desks, we will make sure we send out the digital copy twice; once in February 2018 and again in July 2018, allowing you to update the digital copy if needs be.
