EDITORIAL INDEX

would be to make the most of the show by backing it up with editorial and marketing coverage in the magazine. It makes sense to let people know about the new products you will be exhibiting and, just as importantly, where your stand will be located. This is a huge show and people often do not have time to see every hall – never mind every exhibitor – so getting your name seen and your products at the forefront of visitors’ minds is vital. By featuring in TPT you can maximise your exposure and attract the attention of our readers before they even arrive. Both our January and March issues will be sent to Germany so you could submit preview editorial or an advert in January to help build and reinforce your message. In the November issue we will have features on tube mills & roll forming, stainless steel production, washing & cleaning technology and TOLexpo in France. If you would like to submit editorial for any of these features or for our Tube Düsseldorf issues contact me at: rory@intras.co.uk
