PRACTICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping to support Practical Pain Management (PPM), the Premier Teaching Journal for Pain Practitioners, and its companion website, PracticalPainManagement.com.

As we look towards our 18th year, I am pleased to provide you with the PPM 2017 Media Guide. Herein, you can locate important information for your advertising needs in 2017, including the Editorial Calendar, advertising rates, premium position information and other marketing opportunities.

About PPM:As new pain medications and pain-treating technologies come to market, and issues around patient care, drug testing, medication compliance and reimbursement continue to evolve, Health Care Professional (HCPs) need a resource to help them digest, interpret and navigate these changes. PPM’s focus has always been on providing timely insight and guidance to practitioners to best adapt and adopt new advances and apply them to their individual practice settings.

PPM articles are written and reviewed by practicing HCPs from a variety of specialties—all adding their expertise and experience on the topics they know best. PPM is widely seen as a “must read” for ~44,000 practitioners nationwide looking for timely, relevant and helpful clinical information. We are extremely proud that PPM has, by far, the highest number of HCPs actually requesting a subscription as compared to all other pain-focused journals!

Feedback From PPM Subscribers:“Excellent publication for clinically relevant information in a “quick read” format”. Dr. Tagayun, Neurologist, Clifton, NJ“Appreciate the real world application of pain management this publication provides”. Dr. Mueller, Pain Medicine & Palliative Care, Aptos, CA“Well done magazine. I always find something that helps me and my clients. Best one of many I receive”. Susan Collins, FNP, Flagstaff, AZ

PPM 2016: A Banner YearFunded in part by a record year in print advertising revenue, PPM has expanded its presence as a “voice” for pain practitioners from different specialties and disciplines. Our professional readers and contributors are united by a desire to help each other become more effective at treating chronic pain in its many iterations.

In 2016, PPM published our first “Special Edition” supplement: “Opioid Prescribing and Monitoring—How to Combat Opioid Abuse and Misuse Responsibly.” The 95-page supplement was mailed along with the September issue of PPM and was featured at several medical meetings in the second half of 2016. The book will be available at additional meetings in the first half of 2017. We have been overwhelmed by the response to the special edition and are busy printing additional copies to meet the requests coming in for unanticipated distribution. The timeliness and importance of the topic, the impressive lineup of KOL authors, and PPM’s editorial prowess have made our first special edition, like our regular publication, a “must read” among HCPs who treat pain across the country.

Online, we are seeing more crossover from PPM print to PPM digital as we continue to add additional features online. After doubling in visits from 2014-15, visits to the PPM Opioid Calculator (opioidcalculator.practicalpainmanagement.com), continued strong growth in 2016 with visits from search increasing 44% and direct traffic increasing 28%! PPM is currently developing additional practice-friendly tools for pain practitioners.

In 2016, coverage of the role of neuroinflammation in the development of chronic pain, genetic testing, looking beyond the joint to explore osteoarthritis, and the use of topical agents in sports medicine, proved to be some of the most engaging content for our readership.

PRACTICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT

PPM 2017: Engage and ExpandWe are heading into 2017 with exciting plans around content development. Leveraging and coordinating both our print and online properties, we will provide our readers with more information and more choices on how to access that information.

2017 plans include:• Expanding meeting coverage—adding additional meeting coverage and producing live coverage from certain

meetings in 2017• Development of a toolkit of apps to help pain docs create efficiencies in their practices, communicate with each other

and educate their patients• Expanding KOL video production• Expanding “Consensus” articles written by the PPM Editorial Board based on feedback from HCPs around the

country.• Review of medical management therapies• As in 2016, we will publish 10 issues in 2017, combining the January/February and July/August issues.

PPM Readership Surveys Summary*Physicians reported the following—based on their preferences—comparing PPM to all other pain management publications:

• The most preferred journal to receive• The most saved and referred journal received• #1 publication read by HCPs (4 out of every 4 issues received)• #2 in overall reading frequency

*Results of several readership surveys are included herein. One survey was sent to our readers in September 2014, the details of which are available on pages 8-9.

In Kantar Media’s first survey of pain-related publications conducted in early 2015, Practical Pain Management once again demonstrated the impact it has on the pain-treating practitioners. From the 188 respondents to the study, we learned that the vast majority of our readers go cover-to-cover or read/look through an average issue. In the 2016 Kantar study, with 165 respondents, the percentage of our readers that go cover-to-cover or read/look through an average issue actually increased by 14%! This confirms PPM’s understanding that our articles are satisfying a wide-array of interest among our large and varied audience.

The PPM 2017 Media Guide highlights the fact that PPM has incredibly strong overall readership in the market among pain management specialists and other specialists and HCPs who focus on the treatment of pain. These indicators demonstrates a terrific value for brands and organizations trying to reach deep into the field of pain practitioners.

My team and I welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific strategic needs and look forward to working with you toward the mutual goal of providing excellent service to our clients.

I wish you continued success in the second half of 2016 and an extraordinary 2017!

Sincerely,

David Ganz, CEOVertical Health, LLC [email protected]

Audiance Survey Results

Data Collection Methodology 2014In August 2014, an email was sent to a random, multi-specialty sample of Practical Pain Management subscribers. More than 170 surveys were completed in less than 7 days. NO incentive was offered to the survey completers.

Future AnalysisPractical Pain Management will be conducting surveys of its readership throughout 2017 and sharing select insights with interested clients. We are hopeful that in 2017 a more thorough and exhaustive 3rd party survey is conducted focusing on what chronic-pain-treating HCPs are reading in order to provide broader insight as to where this important audience turns for information and guidance.

PRACTICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT Circulation & Demographics

Select DatabaseWe have more than ~44,000 medical practitioners who have indicated that pain management is high on their agenda, and who, based on our analysis, are most likely to read our publication. By diligently pursuing subscription renewals and refreshing addresses through list firms, we have maintained our Periodical Publishing Permit in compliance and can report that over 65% of our recipients are current requesters. A Periodical Publishing Permit assures faster delivery, assurance that the mailing is accurate, and separation from Standard Mail that is available without circulation monitoring.

Selection/Qualification ProcessPractical Pain Management initially built its circulation by employing the services of Integrated Business Service, Inc. a renowned medical and research firm that owns Medbase200®, a master file of more than 200 medical, dental and healthcare databases, which also serves as the source for list brokers. We also continue to receive additional qualified doctors through “passed on magazine” subscription requests, subscription cards, pain organization members, pharmaceutical company lists, and subscription marketing efforts.

PRACTICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT Circulation Fact Sheet

PERIODICALS MAIL SERVICE

Periodicals Mail Service is the publication service of the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the most economical service for subscribers in the United States, but not all publications can meet the stringent requirements and postal audits needed to qualify for the reduced rates.

• PPM was qualified by the USPS for a periodical license in November 2002 under the Requester Publication Category by meeting—and subsequently have maintained current with—the following key periodical requirements:

• The publication’s circulation records are kept and are available for USPS examination. Subscriber cards and other digital subscriber records (web subscribers and direct subscriber new/renewal calls) are kept in the New Jersey office.

• The publication must have a legitimate list of persons who have requested the publication, or a member of a requesting organization that has adopted a formal resolution that each member receive a copy, and 50% or more of the copies must be distributed to persons who have made such requests.

• Subscription requests that are more than 3 years old cannot be considered valid requests. PPM flags subscriber records in advance of expiration and submits expired requesters with phone numbers to a marketing fim to secure renewals.

• Expiring subscriptions for which we don’t have phone numbers are submitted to a list firm to refresh the address information.

• PPM uses the USPS’ Automated Address Correction Service (ACS) for automated address corrections and undeliverables.

• PPM also participates in a co-palletization program at our printer for more efficient, economical, and quicker distribution to US postal sites around the country.

PPM SUBSCRIBER LIST MAINTENANCE

1. ACS records are downloaded from a secure USPS Internet site and a database program then uses the files to automatically correct addresses in the PPM database and remove “nixies” that are undeliverable.

2. Subscription cards, faxes, and website subscriptions are sorted into renewals and new additions. New additions are vetted against the database to prevent duplicate subscriptions. Questionable subscriptions are confirmed using Internet doctor search sites before adding to the database.

3. Interactive dupe checking is then performed on the database using last name, a few digits of the address, city, and state. Suspected duplicates are displayed to allow database tagging of the ones to keep before purging the dupes.

BUSINESS PUBLICATIONS AUDIT (BPA)

• Audited by BPA to verify subscriptions.

• BPA audit information sheet is available by request.
