Collector Magazine

Frequency: Bimonthly

Collector magazine is a bimonthly digital magazine serving the accounts receivable management industry. New issues of Collector magazine are released digitally on a bimonthly basis, and we also print one special edition a year: The July/August issue, which contains popular features such as our president’s profile and the annual vendor Resource Guide. The July/August issue will be available both digitally and in print.

All ACA International members receive a one printed copy of Collector magazine each year as part of their membership dues.

Collector magazine can help advertisers reach a large community of executives and decision makers in a variety of market niches within the accounts receivable management industry. Collector magazine articles are regularly promoted in ACA Daily and across our social media feeds, drawing in readers from a variety of sources.
