Special Issues: Print and Digital Editions

In addition to monthly issues of Lawn & Landscape, the following special supplements feature high-impact editorial and market research. These supplements are the ideal advertising opportunities to reach a targeted audience.

Top 100

This issue features the Top 100 companies in the landscape industry, including highest revenue-generating companies, and the secrets to their success. The Top 100 has become an industry benchmark that large and small businesses across the country look forward to annually, and is the most read issue of Lawn & Landscape. A sole sponsorship is available and includes exclusive access to the demographic business information collected on all 250 companies analyzed for the awards.

GIE+EXPO Show Daily

This exclusive show daily and show directory is distributed to all attendees at the national GIE+EXPO held each year in Louisville, Ky. The GIE+EXPO Show Daily is also produced as a digital edition both days of the event to 48,000 recipients, and your advertising package includes additional exposure in the Sneak Peek digital edition sent out the month prior. Exhibitors looking to maximize their show presence, as well as those companies unable to exhibit but still looking to reach the tens of thousands of contractors who walk the show floor, should not miss this important issue.

State of the Industry

This popular issue features extensive industry research that over the years has proven to be a must-have resource for contractors. As the show issue, receiving bonus distribution at GIE+EXPO, your advertising message reaches the full print and digital circulation of Lawn & Landscape as well as the thousands that walk the show floor.

Benchmarking Your Business

Available for sole sponsorship, this industry resource contains an exclusive annual statistical analysis report. This issue is another opportunity to give your advertising a year-long shelf life, as contractors save and refer to this issue year-round.
