CAD Magzine in MA, CT, RI to advertize?

Hello all,

I am part of a small Engineering company providing CAD services (designing, modeling, 2D to 3D conversion, etc.) and I am interested in advertizing about our CAD services in local CAD magzines in and around Massachussetts, Conecticut and Rhode Island.

Can you suggest me CAD magzines that I can look for advertizing. Or, is there any specific online website/ magazines as well that I look at for advertizing? My desired audience is CAD Managers, Engineers or Head of Engineering Department.

Any suggestions/comments about "how to" advertizing to this audience are greatly appreciated.

Hmmm. I guess you are referring to Solidworks, Pro-E, Autocad user groups around this area etc.. isn't it? The user groups are not that well attended (or atleast when I visited). Maybe I should try again.

Advertising in CAD magzine is definitely costly. We are ready to spend few hundred dollars, not really thousands. Not sure what our marketing options are..

I agree. And, speaking of which, this NG carried an ad on 10/17 for user group meeting in New England at PTC headquarters in Needham; didn't seem like such small potatoes to me. It's at least a place to ask where others do their advertising.

Last I knew most user groups and system vendors take a dim view of such ... but if you are an active participant passing out (with care) business cards is perhaps accepted.

some of the professional associations put out newletters. (e.g.--the Boston section of ASME) You might try that route.
