Corporate demand for catered events is forecast [to] strengthen as the business climate improves and employers begin hiring again. Caterers will also benefit from more robust private demand as rising consumer sentiment and higher disposable incomes will encourage consumers to splurge on weddings, parties, and other catered events.” Multiple Purchases The industry has enormous buying power. Of the readers of Catersource magazine and catersource.com who responded to our annual third quarter readership survey, over 87% said that they either influence or make purchasing decisions for their companies. Coupled with the knowledge that caterers and event planners buy in volume because they serve volume guests, and you can be assured your media buy will yield a return on your investment. Here’s some really good news Approximately 98% of our reader respondents said they expect their businesses in 2016 will remain stable, and of those, over 81% said they will see positive growth as well as significantly higher profits in 2016 in the form of more event services, drop off catering, venue contracts, weddings, and outdoor events such as BBQs and picnics. And where do they find their new suppliers and resources? Guess what— it’s Catersource. “ C atersource helped my business grow by offering the professional networking that as caterers we don’t always have time for or ‘trust’ the locals to discuss. Some of the recipes, especially appetizers, have become my top sellers! Always being able to turn to Catersource for up and coming trends gives me an edge for attracting new clients for my business. Also, being a Chef Instructor, I use the website and magazine as an addition to material for my lecture and lab classes! Thank you!” —Chef/Owner, Taste of Heaven Catering, South Jordan, UT *IBISWorld Industry Report 7Z232 4 catersource.com LAURIE SCHEEL | Account Director | 612.253.2034 | laurie@catersource.com KATHRYN FRANKSON | Senior Account Manager | 612.253.2021 | kfrankson@catersource.com Our Audience Market Segments With market segments that include members of national and international associations such as NACE, ICA, ACF, ISES, plus colleges, universities, restaurants, convention centers, banquet facilities, arenas, casinos, event venues, healthcare, and more—your product will reach a targeted audience passionately engaged in hospitality services. Better yet, of our survey respondents, over 67% said they have been in business over 10 years. Almost 87% reported they have been in business over 4 years. 86% of readers share our magazine with at least one colleague In addition, our readers buy in volume because they serve and entertain volume guests. Here are some powerful numbers: Over half of our readers facilitate 250 or more events per year; some more than 500 a year! The average guest count? Between 100 and 200 people. 27% of readers share with three or more colleagues, increasing your reach to more than Let’s crunch those numbers: One company x 250 scheduled events x 200 guests = 50,000 people That is, one company alone out of the many who read Catersource may need to purchase 50,000 of each item they will require for their scheduled events. For fun, we asked our readers to tell us about the largest guest count they had at a single event as of July 2015.
