Boston, MA May 19, 2008 -- The Pohly Company, a marketing and publishing services company with more than 10 years of experience in the custom publishing industry, has partnered with NACS to redesign its award-winning NACS Magazine.

Launching in May 2008, the newly redesigned monthly will maintain much of the editorial format it has in past issues, and will feature more of an emphasis on trends, exclusive industry data, and best practices for convenience and petroleum retailers and their suppliers. The redesign is one aspect of an overall strategy that NACS has to broaden the magazine’s appeal and significantly grow the magazine’s 30,000-plus circulation base.

“NACS Magazine represents the $577 billion convenience and petroleum retailing industry,” says Erin Pressley, editor in chief of NACS Magazine. “Because it is unique in offering exclusive insights within the channel, it is, by far, the industry’s fastest growing publication over the past five years. This redesign is an integral component to the publication’s continued growth and success.”

“NACS Magazine is proving to be one of our most interesting and unique publications,” says Kevin Miller, chief creative officer for The Pohly Company. “NACS goal was to create a magazine that would appeal to an entire organization, while maintaining the modern, journalistic style for which they are already known. Our extensive experience in both design and publishing makes this project a particularly good fit. We look forward to presenting the new NACS Magazine to readers this May.”
