Patio & Hearth Products Report Enters the
Patio, Hearth and Barbecue Market
Torrance, Calif. – April 2006 - Peninsula Media, a Los Angeles-based business-to-business trade publishing
company, has announced the launch of Patio & Hearth Products Report, a product-driven, tabloid-sized publication for
the patio, hearth and barbecue industry. Patio & Hearth Products Report will focus on new products, product innovations
and technological advances for indoor and outdoor fireplaces and stoves, patio furniture and barbecues. In
addition, Patio & Hearth Products Report will be the voice for the business side of being a successful specialty store,
retailer or dealer selling patio, hearth and barbecue products and supplies. Total circulation is 15,000.
According to Tony Ramos, founder and president of Peninsula Media and publisher of Patio & Hearth Products
Report, “This expanding market currently is not being served with a product-driven, tabloid-sized publication.
Industries such as the patio, hearth and barbecue marketplace, with a large number of new product introductions
throughout the year, need a publication that will showcase and shine a spotlight on the product and technology side
of the industry.”
In addition to product releases and product profiles, Patio & Hearth Products Report will contain feature articles,
columns and departments that will focus on the important role specialty stores, retailers and dealers play in marketing,
merchandising and promoting patio, hearth and barbecue products to the consumer. Through its editorial content,
Patio & Hearth Products Report also will help specialty stores and retailers better understand how to promote the
hearth and outdoor living industry to consumers. As homeowners nationwide increasingly invest in outdoor living,
outdoor rooms and casual living products, and with the fireplace and stove serving as a focal point of many living
rooms, family rooms and even bedrooms, the manufacturers, specialty stores, retailers and dealers that serve this burgeoning
market are poised to enjoy sustained growth for many years to come.
Each issue of Patio & Hearth Products Report will be archived on the publication’s Web site. In addition, the online
version of the magazine will contain a hot link from each of the advertiser’s product releases to the advertiser’s Web
site. With most readers using Web sites as their primary method for obtaining product, service and company information,
this will help drive traffic to the Web sites of those companies that advertise with Patio & Hearth Products Report.
Patio & Hearth Products Report will fill the void in an industry that is not currently being served by a product-driven,
tabloid-sized publication by keeping its readers informed about new products, product improvements, profiles
of successful specialty stores and retailers and how they best use, market and sell their unique mix of products. Equally
important, Patio & Hearth Products Report will offer manufacturers an information vehicle that will introduce new
products to the marketplace, promote existing products, and focus attention on the unique relationship manufacturers
share with specialty stores, retailers and dealers in the patio, hearth and barbecue industry. The premier issue of
Patio & Hearth Products Report will be July/August 2006. Ad closing is June 26, with ad material due July 6.
Peninsula Media will also produce September/October and November/December 2006 issues of the publication.
