Message from the Publisher AJ ARAPOVIC A NEW LOOK AND ONLINE SHOP
SHOWSIGHT MAGAZINE has made great strides over the past six months to successfully improve the quali- ty of our renowned magazine. With help from our partners and the dedication of our contributing editors, we’ve increased our global reach and expanded our publication’s readership. This growth has allowed us to attract new writers and publish high-quality articles written by breed authorities and thoughtful newcomers. Many of the articles we’ve published are well researched and thought provoking, building on our maga- zine’s collective efforts while furthering our reputation for bringing exceptional content to our readers. SHOWSIGHT’s respectability and reach would not be possible without contributions from dedicated fanciers who have something to say. To that end, we are calling for the submission of articles that offer either an educational or an entertainment experience. Informational and motivational articles are strongly encour- aged. Submissions may appear on our website and social media pages, and some could find a place within our magazine’s glossy pages. Topics could range from historic profiles and research articles to opinion pieces on the latest news coming from the AKC. (I know there are many heartwarming stories with a posi- tive tone that need to be shared!) By broadening our coverage of the sport’s past, present and future, we’re confident that we will encourage a more positive approach to the dog sport. And if we fall short of this lofty goal, at least we’ve provided space where anyone can share his or her love of purebred dogs. Articles may be submitted electronically through email submission ads@aramediagrp.com. The subject line should read: Article by (Name of Author) for Sport of Dogs. We look forward to hearing from you! Beginning with this issue, ARAMEDIA GROUP INC. and SHOWSIGHT MAGAZINE are pleased to introduce our new website, SHOWSIGHTMAGAZINE.COM. The completely reimagined site includes many new and interactive features that allow easy access to current news and information, ringside videos, show results and ratings system as well as directories for superintendents, breeders, handlers, juniors, photographers, designers and much more. The site even includes a dog show calendar, time machine, contests and, of course, advertising that’s distributed virtually to our international readership. Every single AKC registered breed will now have its own digital publication on our site at no charge and each will link to educational information prepared by breed authorities and parent clubs. We’ve finally created a more uniform look that you can access across all of platforms. But we’re not done yet! In response to inquiries from within and outside the dog show community, we have opened a digital marketplace for dog-related products and ser- vices. This one-stop shop will enable dog owners to purchase needs and favorite wants under one cyber roof. We’ve made the investment to provide this virtual shopping experience and hope that you’ll appreci- ate the convenience and variety that’s on offer. To have your product(s) marketed and sold in our shop, please contact AJ Arapovic, CEO at aj@aramediagrp.com or 512-541-8128. Those of us at ARAMEDIA GROUP and SHOWSIGHT MAGAZINE are working hard to give you — our clients and readers across the globe — what you’ve been wanting for a long time. That is, a single source, purebred place to visit early in the morning, late afternoon or in the evening before calling it a good night. We hope that you enjoy our new look and online shop, and we thank you for your continued support of our efforts to represent the dog sport in the best possible light. Wishing you and yours all the best.
