We've recently been busy making some very exciting and positive changes to the KitPlus Magazine and this may impact on any deadlines you have already been working towards.
The key changes are that we are now bigger by 50% (148 pages), bi-monthly from July and we think feature schedules are a bit old fashioned these days so we have abolished them! When you've got something to say you need to get it out there and not wait until a magazine decides it's the right time for you to have your say and with our brand new format every issue is right for you!
The bulk and frequency of the publication will ensure longevity of both editorial and advertising with increased readership from sharing, online, social media and simply being around for two months not one.
The editorial format for EVERY issue will include the four main sections below and within these we welcome any topics including, not exclusively, those listed. When you add news to our online pressroom you will notice you now have to select one of those four sections so also within these pages of relevant featured content will be perfectly placed news.
By arranging editorial in this manner we will immediately offer a more diverse and interesting print magazine to the readership whilst at the same time be able to directly target advertising to a relevant audience sector.

For ideas on the sort of editorial you can submit then please click the orange tab below. We are very open to looking at other random suggestions though of course. Just email editor@tv-bay.com.
"Ask the Experts" - you come up with 6 to 10 commonly asked questions, the sort of things that come up at trades shows like IBC and then provide 150-200 word answers. This is often a double page spread of approx 1200 words. We will need images, and author name and photo.
"Product Release" - very few readers like a sales pitch and will quickly lose interest. We want to know why your product exists, what it replaced and how the industry will use it. Aim for 600 words with images based around the following structure:
- Title: don't mention your company or product, make it something generic which in the case of monitors could be "Multi-viewer or Split screen?" or something else that gets the reader's attention, what would make you stop and not turn the page?
- Para 1 (100 words): start off with a problem, again we'll use the monitor example. Why do people buy multiviewers? Why do they buy spilt screens? Reader interest is gaining as you have not yet mentioned a product - just a problem and everyone has these!
- Para 2 (175 words) : So now we can give example of what people have historically purchased or done to solve the problem in para 1
-
Para 3 (150 words) : Pro's and con's of each historical style when trying to solve the problem in para 1
- Para 4 (100 words) : Economies of each option
- Para 5 (300 words) : ok so now you can mention your company and what you have to solve the problem, how you go about it, what is so special about it and how it solves the problem in para 1
The word guidelines are just estimates but give a proven idea of how to structure the page if you need it.
"Case Study" - Nothing is more informative and inspiring than hearing how your peers are using new kit in their line of work. With a very diverse readership we always welcome stories and hands on adventures with broadcast equipment!
"Six of the Best"...Readers contributing products that either they dream about of just can't live without! Encourage your customers to contribute and they'll be rewarded.
"Back to Basics" - Get Back to Basics with a no jargon, no buzz words, plain English look at an industry technology or topic, how it was conceived, has progressed and stands now in the market place. The number 1 must read for those "afraid to ask"!
"Reviews" - We have a number of professionals who are able to give independent reviews of your products from tripods to software, or you may have already had some done for you, so this type of content is highly regarded by our readership.
"News" - All news must be added to the online press room where it will be approved and displayed online. The new look news in print is edited by our news analyst Will Strauss, each of the four news sections will have comment from Will alongside selected news stories.
"Everything you need to know"...Do you know everything about something? Ok maybe not everything but if you have a wealth of hands on experience on a topic then our readers will want to know all about it.

NEW!
Pre-Tradeshow Promos
(Perfect for mail outs,
website news and
company profile pages)
With thousands of pre show emails clogging inboxes with paragraphs of text, be a little different, stand out from the crowd and get you message across in under 60 seconds! (or longer if you want?) Shoot your video before your next event and attract people to your stand.
Now being shot by KitPlus. Either green
screen at our Newbury studio or on location
at your offices!
The Format:
The customer would need to be prepared and well scripted (detailed or with reminders on the prompter) and, if they are using a prompter, we'd ideally like the script in advance.
We would aim to spend around 2 hrs shooting on location with about 30 minute set up.
The footage will be edited to 1 or 2 (depending on how efficient and simple) videos for upload to YouTube or similar channel.
In order to meet with your branding we would need, company logo (vector.eps .ai .pdf or similar) colour refs, font specs, background image (if green screen) cutaways & screen records if they can be done ahead, product names, names of people, credits and
any specific requirements.
Titles and on screen text should be specified if required where possible to strengthen the message being spoken.
We offer free promotion of all videos produced by us on our video pages online and in return request a simple end credit as the video
fades to black.
Filmed at your stand/booth
Uploaded to kitplus.com. Ad free version for your own use included. Multiple discounts apply.

With the rise of the internet; video marketing has become a crucial part of promoting and marketing brands and services online and often employees are asked to appear and present on camera at these events. Being requested to appear on camera at a trade show may be a daunting experience for some however with technology advancing at a very fast rate the need to visually communicate with a global audience is becoming a necessity for many businesses.

Media information and
circulation statistics
Web site:
After 6 months in development tv-bay was launched at NAB, Las Vegas, in 2004 and was an immediate hit with both private and professional sellers alike. Within a few months the numbers grew to over 200 unique IP addresses a day and now in 2013 we have over 3500 per day visiting from around the world but with the majority being in UK (25%), USA (12%) and Europe (approx. 40%). We now only promote web stats from Google Analytics as there are so many variant web analysis tools etc. which include non-human traffic (bots) which just confuse the issue when they appear in their millions.
We have made a small amount of banner advertising space available so if you are interested in these opportunities then please email info@tv-bay.com. You may also take advantage of "service banners" which are keyword specific and appear against all adverts matching your chosen word or phrase.
Magazine:
The tv-bay magazine (rebranded KITPLUS, September 2014) was launched in June 2006 and is printed monthly. Initially, as we built our database, the publication was sent to over 7000 UK subscribers who had shown interest at the many trade shows we attend (we are normally hard to miss!) and via tv-bay online. We, and our readers, love print - its tangible, hangs around in offices for ages, has countless 2nd/ 3rd/ 4th hand readers and, when part of an online portfolio, is the perfect reference point. The down side of print though is the ever rising UK postage but on the positive side this has spurred us to constantly look at our database, question our readers and further qualify their interest in both tv-bay and the industry resulting in a dynamic database for both print and online.
Our print run is now just over 65,000 copies per year made up of 4000+ direct mailed copies to UK subscribers (people that have requested it only) each month and show copies such as BVE, NAB and IBC - plus we are the only magazine to be at the Virgin Atlantic departure gate for flights leaving for NAB (imagine being stuck on a plane for 10 hours with a copy of tv-bay!).We also proud to support UK media colleges and universities with free issue magazines for students (and lecturers), a policy which after 5 years of doing so has paid off with, for example, many Ravensbourne graduates now working and specifying equipment for their workplace and still reading tv-bay of course!
For those not able to recieve the print magazine we have probably the longest running Digital Magazine / Digital issue which you can view here - packed with interactive links and constantly being improved with features such as embedded video clips. All articles in the magazine are also added to our articles section for easy searching as we have found that electronic publications rarely appear in organic web search results.
