Market Demographics

Our Journal is the first publication in any media exclusively devoted to electronic purchasing. JIP authors and target audience are world-leading experts and most influential practitioners in this emerging professional area.

Latest email circulation

Advertisers, please note that our key publishing principles are:
a) To focus presentations in email and Web format to only high-level and essential information, and
b) To reduce to the minimum the flow of postings which our busy subscribers have to read.

We do not intend to make it a mass-circulation publication, competing with Playboy. Rather, it is important to us that about 70% of world leading electronic commerce professionals are either our authors or our subscribers.

Detailed usage report stats for the JIP Web site are automatically updated on an hourly basis.
