 Originally a small black and white pamphlet, the Florida Forum was converted in 1961 to a bound publication of the Florida Roofing, Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Contractors Association (FRSA) with a present circulation of approximately 4,500. Every licensed roofing contractor in the State of Florida is sent the magazine along with industry suppliers, distributors and service providers, architects, engineers, building officials, influential government representatives, subcontractors and general contractors. Various issues of the magazine are also distributed at major industry events such as the International Roofing EXPO and NRCA's Convention and FRSA's Annual Convention and Trade Show - the Southeast Roofing and Sheet Metal Spectacular. Each month the Florida Forum magazine addresses specific issues of industry importance as outlined in the editorial calendar below. The magazine also reports on the latest technical advancements, OSHA regulations, insurance and legislative issues, marketing advice and safety regulations. Why advertise in the Florida Forum magazine?
If your company does business in the State of Florida and is interested in reaching qualified prospects in need of quality materials and services RIGHT NOW, then the Florida Forum magazine is the best place to spend your marketing dollars.
