MA&PA JCT SURVEY

[MA and PA JCT]

In a effort to find out WHERE my advertising $$$$ are spent I am curious as to which magazine is purchased/read. I all ready did a survey over on ...ahem...the OTHER forum ......the rusults were an eye opener.
So, I need to know the following:
Do you buy/read CTT only?
Do you buy/read OGRR only?
Do you buy/read BOTH???

Thanks for the help, I'll post my results, after thread appears to be over.

I only read CTT.

I read both.

[bobblaisdell]

I subscribe to and read both but I will not be renewing OGRR.

[Anonymous]

I read both--always have and always will for as long as they are around (or for as long as I am around, whichever comes first).[;)]

Note to Marty:

I'm not sure you picked the best time to launch your survey here since this forum is supposed to be going down tomorrow (July 10) while Kalmbach switches over to a new setup. It might have been better to wait until the new site is up and running, although I imagine existing threads will carry over to the new configuration. Still, a bit of the impetus will likely be lost, and I imagine the topic of most interest to readers after the 12th will be the newly launched site itself.

I subscribe to CTT. Only one that I read.

[Roger Bielen]

Both, though I feel OGR is starting to lean too heavily toward a specific brand.

[ChiefEagles]

Both
CTT is the favorite.

[3railguy]

I buy a copy of OGR now and then but buy just about every issue of CTT.

Marty: I got turned on to you by a satisfied customer. I've enjoyed every transaction I've done with you and will do my best to also carry the word about you forward. Your personal service is the best advertising you can buy.

The problem with high dollar ad buys is that you have to make sure that it will generate enough added revenue to increase your net by more than enough to cover the cost and see some profit from it, not just your gross. JMHO

Not sure I will be renewing my subscription to the "Other one". My only wish would be for CTT to be monthly.

I only subscribe to CTT.

[luther_stanton]

I purchase every issue of CTT and rarely, once or twice a year perhaps, pick up OGR.

I subscribe to neither but I'm more likely to buy CTT when it comes out.

Subscribe to both, but strongly prefer CTT. OGRR has become a clear partisan in the brand wars. Probably not your target audience anyway, as I don't buy much Williams, although it's a good product for the money.

Not your fault, but this is a problem related to advertising that affects my interest in your products. Williams should try to be less cheesey in their continued use of Lionel's historic advertising images, which is a real turn-off for me. Feel like I'm being asked to buy a Rolex for $25 near Madison Square Garden ;). Probably doesn't matter to most people, but to me it taints the Williams product and reputation.

[sanman0516]

I subscribe to both

[msacco]

CTT is my only subscriptions with an occassional copy of OGR when something in it strikes me.

I subscribe to CTT

[Anonymous]

I subscribe to both and see each with it's own strong points. Will continue to subscribe to both for time being. If could choose only one it would probably be CTT.[:)]

[otftch]

I read both.I think they compliment each other.

I subscribe to CTT and pick up OGR when at the bookstore.

CTT

[Frank53]

I read them both at the local hobby shop. I never buy OGR and will occasionally buy a copy of CTT if an article gets my interest.

I flip right by any ads that are listing of merchandise prices.

I also flip right by ads that don't show the product or the use for the product.
