Each year, in the August edition of Rural Builder magazine, we publish building projects that showcase some of the many possibilities for rural building projects, including agricultural, light commercial, and residential projects. Ultimately, our goal is to inspire builders/subscribers and help them better identify and meet market needs. By highlighting not only the potential of these buildings, but also the actual projects being completed, we aim to advance the industry.
As a project participant, you’ll enjoy numerous benefits. If your project is selected for publication, your business will receive free promotion in a national magazine dedicated to agricultural, light commercial, and residential structures. Despite being a regional builder, you’ll gain national recognition.
Moreover, you’ll receive a badge that reads “As Seen in Rural Builder magazine,” signifying your company’s distinction as one of the few selected for publication. This badge can be used in your marketing materials, on social media, and wherever else you find suitable.
Another powerful benefit is a complimentary pre-written press release announcing your company’s selection and publication from a pool of national submissions. Given the typical cost of professional press release services, this represents significant savings.
Rural Builder magazine maintains a prominent position nationally and, at 57 years old, is the longest-running publication on low rise, rural construction. By presenting your project as a solution to industry challenges, you inspire fellow builders to enhance their performance and drive the industry forward.
To submit a project for the next Rural Builder Source Book, visit ruralbuildermagazine.com/rural-builder-source-book-project-submission-form. This digital upload form has been streamlined to make it easier than ever to use. You can also reach the form by scanning the QR code. Simply fill in the required details (company and project specifics, along with a list of components and materials used) and upload clear, high-resolution images. Upon submission, you’ll receive confirmation that your project details have been received. Remember, the more comprehensive your submission, the greater the chance of publication.
If your project is chosen, you will be notified and given the opportunity to review the page (or pages) before publication. Additionally, you’ll receive a high-resolution file of the pages for your marketing efforts, the digital badge, and a pre-written news release to distribute to local news outlets.
