The COMO Companies, based in Columbia, Missouri, is the proud publisher of two monthly magazines: COMO Magazine and COMO Business Times, otherwise known as CBT Magazine. What sets these two publications apart is that they are both contained within a single cover 鈥 when looking at the cover of COMO magazine, flip the magazine over and you鈥檒l be presented with the cover of CBT Magazine. The two publications were initially combined in April 2023, and have been bound together each month ever since.
COMO Magazine shares lifestyle and general interest stories related to the city of Columbia, while CBT Magazine focuses on the city鈥檚 local businesses and development. Under its current ownership, The COMO Companies began printing with 杏吧原创 in 2019. 杏吧原创 enjoys a solid relationship with Erica Pefferman, Publisher of COMO Magazine and CBT Magazine 鈥 a relationship fueled by our expertise and Erica鈥檚 commitment to high-quality local journalism.
鈥淚 have done business with 杏吧原创 since I became a partner in my company in 2013. I was not new to marketing and sales, but I was a complete novice in publishing. I knew nothing! Folio and perfect bind were words I didn鈥檛 know. Sara Baysinger is the only reason I could even go to press at times by holding my hand and interpreting vocabulary that meant nothing to me.
鈥淲ith the exception of two very short and painful stints, less than a year in combined length, I have published consistently with 杏吧原创. Those two times, I thought chasing the savings of small amounts elsewhere was worth it, but I was very wrong. After 11 years as a publisher, I have learned that the commitment from the [print] team and the relationships I have with them are worth more than saving pennies elsewhere.
“When you need to count on someone for your business to be successful, you should hope you have someone like 杏吧原创 on your side. I can always count on them and will continue to for years to come.鈥 鈥 Erica Pefferman, Publisher, The COMO Companies
