RePlay is a monthly magazine for the coin-operated amusement machine
industry. Its news and features are directed primarily at the American market,
reporting developments of interest to manufacturers, distributors and operators
of games and jukeboxes at locations ranging from single sites to family
entertainment centers.
Founded in October of 1975, RePlay enjoys a premier status among
the journals covering its field in terms of paid circulation, content, appearance
and advertising pages keyed to amusements. Combining timely market coverage
with desk-top computer graphics, RePlay's organized flow has something
for every professional route and arcade, from the speedy readers and machine
shoppers up to industry scholars.
From its Hot Off the Press! (late breaking news page) and Players' Choice
(most-played games chart) all the way to its popular Buyers' Bulletin used
machine marketplace, RePlay's arrival on the desks (or in the rural
boxes) of its subscribers is eagerly awaited twelve times a year. Other
regular features include the Redemption Equipment chart, the Playground
section (with articles themed on the family entertainment/arcade segment
of the industry), columns by respected trade members, and more. Special
editions include the spring ASI issue, fall AMOA and Fun Expo specials and
winter's Annual Directory Yearbook.
While the majority of the news, features, entertainment and research articles
are generated by the magazine's own writers each month, prepared publicity
and story suggestions are cheerfully accepted for publication review. Deadlines
for both editorial submissions, as well as advertising, fall around the
10th of the month prior to the issue date.
Just over 4,000 RePlays are circulated each month with approximately
11% distributed in Canada, Mexico and in offshore markets, making RePlay's
news (as well as its advertising) more global than in former times.
Being a "trade" magazine, RePlay's advertising notices
are of great value to readers who invest time and resources in an industry
where the word "novelty" is taken quite seriously. Perhaps the
best testimony to RePlay's status is the fact that apart from a number
of free advertiser checking copies (and several more sent to industry and
personal friends), its entire world wide circulation is fully paid up front
by subscribers.
Our paid circulation is higher than that of any other trade publication
exclusively serving the coin-op/amusement industry! Your message, whether
it is presented on our news and feature pages or in your advertising, reaches
an enormous number of buyers when it's in RePlay Magazine.
Year after year, RePlay has outdistanced its competitors in the
number of advertising pages run on amusement devices and accessories. Years
of repeat business prove that customers are pleased with results. Its very
success in the volume of ads placed over the years has traditionally kept
advertising costs down. Contact advertising director Barry Zweben at barry@replaymag.com or phone 818/776-2880
to get details on prices, sizes and specs.
Each magazine closes for materials about the tenth of the month pior to
the monthly date of the issue itself. Frequency discounts are offered and
agencies approved by clients are recognized. Payment terms are 30 days for
customers with a proven credit history. New advertisers are asked to pay
in front by check or wire transfer until a credit history is established.
Many advertisers deal directly with the magazine, often using outside art
houses to prepare digital ad files (print-quality, high-resolution PDF and
JPEG files are preferred). However, RePlay also offers its own art
services for those who need help in constructing professional looking ads.
Many simply select a size, then mail or fax wording and leave the rest in
the magazine's hands. This is especially true with used equipment ads and
other "nuts & bolts" notices that appear in our lower-priced
Buyers' Bulletin.
When you combine the attention to detail and design of the in-house prepared
ads, the top-notch agency advertisements provided by clients and the eye-catching
graphics and design of the many editorial pages, RePlay Magazine
is a visual winnerwhere you want your company seen!
RePlay gives the amusement machine industry honest reporting and
a solid cause=effect advertising vehicle and the industry seems to agree,
judging by the magazine's track record.
The staff at RePlay Magazine is always happy to help provide any
additional information you may need regarding subscriptions, how to send
in press releases, advertising and, of course, the industry in general.
