Academy Sports and Outdoors is proud to be associated with TSFMag and to carry the Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine. TSFMag appeals to Texas saltwater anglers and Academy’s magazine sales back that up. For example, TSFMag is available in all Academy stores with a 77% sell that makes TSFMag the #1 field and stream magazine sold at Academy. Academy has seen increases in saltwater tackle sales over the past few years. TSFMag readers are also Academy customers and vice versa. TSFMag, like Academy, is relevant to the experienced saltwater angler who buys upper-end products, as well as the beginner who is unsure of what products to place in their tackle box. Informative articles on Texas bay systems, tide charts, and a variety of new and mainstream products help all saltwater anglers make the most of each trip. Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine continues to gain popularity as a leading periodical to the saltwater angler. Academy looks forward to working with the TSFMag team in coming years.

Re: Magazine Sale-through and Advertising Results Dear Everett & Pam Johnson, As one of the largest independent tackle dealers, our customers come to us looking for reliable sources of information on inshore, offshore, kayak, and fly fishing. The success we have had over the years with Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine (TSFM) on our counters has proven that your magazine is a source they trust. We have consistent sales each month with spikes in sales on the occasional issue featuring a more interesting cover. As for advertising, we have also had great success with customer response to our ads. After running a coupon in three different magazines the same month, the return rate for the coupon ran in TSFM was 10:1 over other publications. Customers redeeming these coupons came from all over the Houston Metro area and just beyond. This campaign proved very valuable when evaluating where we spent our advertising dollars. TSFM has become a great resource for ® our customers wanting to find information about events held at the store. We receive many calls and emails inquiring what issue they can find dates and times of a store event. This has become a great way for us to communicate with our customers and reach new ones. Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine is full of wellwritten, honest and informative articles. We enjoy working with all of you. Keep up the good work! Your Friends at Fishing Tackle Unlimited
