MONTCLAIR, NJ (January 8, 2019) – PETS+, SmartWork Media’s trade journal for independent pet store owners, has completed its BPA Worldwide business publication audit. The initial, independent verification of the journal’s circulation data took 12 months to complete.
In the world of business-to-business publications, a BPA audit is the ultimate review of a magazine’s subscription data. It provides a level of transparency that is vital to advertisers, verifying qualified circulation information including subscriber and publication data.
“We are proud of the results of this initial audit,” says Matthijs Braakman, SmartWork Media CEO. “BPA’s third-party review brings a new level of value to PETS+ advertisers.” Copies of the initial BPA Worldwide audit report for PETS+ are available from BPA Worldwide and SmartWork Media.
PETS+ is the latest of SmartWork Media’s three publications to complete the BPA audit. With total qualified circulation of 26,150 — and pass-through readership of 67,990 — PETS+ joins INSTORE (jewelry) and INVISION (eyewear) magazines as the leading retailer-focused journals within each respective industry.
