FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Heartland’s Construction Publications Now Available As Digital MagEzines

Fort Dodge, Iowa - Heartland Communications Group, Inc.’s Construction Group recently announced the addition of digital distribution of Contractors Hot Line, Parts Connection, Attachment Connection and Municipal Connection. 

“The move to rapid digital distribution was the next level for our company and its products to expand readership, and one pushed by increased postal costs that has hit our industry hard this past month,” commented Shannon Bushman, Publisher of Heartland Construction Group.  “Opening up our products as digital magEzines was an obvious step as we integrate our print products into the world of online readers.  This is a perfect compliment to all our other added value services,” she concluded.

The digital magEzine is an exact replica of our print magazine, except you receive it via-email to be viewed approximately 10 days earlier than the same print product is available.  Our digital magEzine readers will have an advantage over print readers as they will have access to up-to-the- minute new and used equipment, parts, attachments, auction, and services.   Online readers will benefit from this window of opportunity and be able to make buying decisions based on current information.  This is a tremendous advantage over mail delivered products and stale online databases.

Heartland’s digital magEzine allows readers to read page-to-page each publication just as they would in print; thus providing the user with a format they are comfortable with, plus the added advantage of speed With this new format Heartland has been able to add exclusive content to digital magEzine products.  A “search” capability is built in to the reader software; a reader may type in a specific product/service into a search box, which when executed will quickly provide them with the pages on which the desired search item is located. Additionally a reader can go directly to an advertiser’s website with a link provided within their digital ad.
