ProPatterns, Inc. Builds Promotional Relationship with Bass Angler Magazine
Yankton, South Dakota (PRWEB) November 11, 2013 -- According to Mark Lassagne, Editor-in-Chief of Bass Angler Magazine, this opportunity to "cross promote and share audiences provides a great opportunity for angling enthusiasts. Unless you advertise in other media, word won’t get out as fast as it could about your product."
Bass Angler Magazine typically features 30 articles, which nearly doubles the content of most fishing magazines. "Like ProPatterns," Lassagne says, "Bass Angler Magazine focuses on education and entertainment, with the goal of helping anglers learn and catch more fish." According to Lassagne, Bass Angler Magazine dedicates as much page space as possible to feature stories, keeping its advertisement space to about half that of other periodicals.
Whereas angling enthusiasts don't necessarily have to be "tech savvy" to catch bass, according to Lassagne, most anglers are. Lassagne has seen steady growth in online users downloading the Bass Angler Magazine app and plans to expand the tools available to online users as the market continues to grow. According to ProPatterns, Inc. President and CEO Chad Ekroth, "As a website that prides itself in offering education and entertainment, we at ProPatterns couldn't be happier about this opportunity for our members to broaden their online experience with a free electronic issue of Bass Angler Magazine "
Lassagne also stresses the importance of this cross-promotional relationship because "while Bass Angler Magazine and ProPatterns provide different platforms, both have that same mission of providing great entertainment and education."
A fan of the Exposed series, Lassange tells ProPatterns, "I love watching the videos and seeing the pros out practicing. It's unique, and it’s real. Here's a series that offers viewers an inside look at how the pros work, getting in the boat with those pros, and getting into their heads as they practice and study the waters. This is a chance 99% percent of fans couldn’t experience without getting on the ProPatterns website."
ProPatterns, Inc. offers two levels of subscription, a free Social membership and an Elite subscription membership.
