At AQUA, our focus has always been on connecting retailer, builder and service pro decision-makers to the products, services and information they need to run successful businesses. With this focus in mind, we dedicate significant resources to ensure we're offering timely and relevant editorial content our high-quality audiences seek out and rely on. But it doesn’t stop there.

We take great pride in our meticulously maintained subscriber lists that guarantee measurable results for you.

When you advertise with AQUA, you can be confident you’re partnering with a company dedicated to your success through a highly qualified and engaged audience of key decision-makers.

Take the guesswork out of integrated marketing, starting with AQUA Magazine. Our industry-leading trade publication offers a strong foundation for you to deliver a unified and seamless campaign to increase brand awareness and generate high-quality leads.

Retailers, builders, and service professional decision-makers still heavily rely on trade publications to find the information, products and services they need to run successful businesses. Plus, with a third-party verified print subscriber list, you can be confident you’re reaching highly engaged top prospects.

As part of our commitment to being transparent with our data, we’re proud to be an Alliance for Audited Media (AAM)-audited magazine. This means you can be confident you’re reaching the exact market you’re targeting when you advertise in AQUA Magazine.

Being audited means our 15,000 print subscribers are independently verified by AAM to ensure:

They have personally requested to receive the magazine or are members of PHTA, an industry association partnered with AQUA.
They are decision-makers in the pool and spa industry.
Our subscribers are current – our list contains no outdated records that are no longer relevant.

Sent monthly, AQUA Magazine reaches professionals across the entire spa and pool industry. This allows advertisers to reach buyers in every market with the ability to hyper-target your message to a single audience group, if desired.

AQUA’s online and social media channels deliver your message to key pool and spa decision-makers whenever and wherever they’re looking for industry-specific content, products and services. When combined with our print marketing solutions, digital opportunities from AQUA ensure your brand messaging is connected to our engaged and growing audience of pool and spa retailers, builders and service professionals anywhere and anytime.

Plus, AQUA continually delivers new digital marketing opportunities designed to captivate and engage our online audiences.
