Company Profile - American Marketing & Publishing, L.L.C.

American Marketing & Publishing, L.L.C.

American Marketing & Publishing, L.L.C. produces the distinctive HomePages® Directories, highly personalized hometown phonebooks that serve over 336 close-knit communities in Northern Illinois, Northwest Indiana, and Wisconsin. In 2008, the firm will produce and mail out over 2.9 million telephone directories used by over 3.8 million businesses and consumers.

Our publications work. The HomePages® Directories generate a profitable return on investment for our advertisers, and provide consumers with a convenient guide to hometown businesses, civic information, and families. As a company, we sell, design, print and distribute display ads for over 40,000 other businesses. We're proud that the overwhelming majority of our customers choose to renew their advertising placements in our directories year after year, after year.

We offer consumers and our advertisers a truly unique alternative to the typical costly, cumbersome, and impersonal telephone directory. Instead of forcing consumers to look through a phone book that weighs five or ten pounds and stands three or four inches thick, we publish a directory that cuts out the clutter. HomePages® Directories list only the families and businesses from the community served by our book. For consumers, the HomePages® are quick, concise, and handy.

For advertisers, the HomePages® Directories offer high quality, low cost, and intelligently scoped advertising. Instead of forcing business owners to market themselves to hundreds of thousands of families across thirty or forty geographically distant towns, we produce a directory that showcases the relevant local business market exclusively. Business owners recognize that most of their customers come from the town where they are located. Our publications allow business owners to target that critical nearby market at a very low cost.

The concept is simple, but powerful. The HomePages® Directories dominate every market where they are published. At a minimum, our directories carry twice as many paid display advertisements from local businesses as the next most popular phone book. In 2007, our established publications grew at a rate nearly 16 times faster than the industry as a whole. And as a firm, we've gone from publishing in one community ten years ago to publishing in over 336 today.

Whether you are an advertiser seeking to grow your customer base and bottom line or a prospective employee seeking to join an innovative and results-oriented company, we anticipate that you will find these pages informative and helpful.
