BodyShop Busines Redesign and Babcox Anniversary

Celebrating a New Look and an Anniversary!

A 100th anniversary at Babcox Media and a new look for BodyShop Business? We've got a lot going on!

Change is inevitable. We’ve been talking about it a lot in the pages of BodyShop Business over the last few years. Look how much the collision repair business is changing. And now BodyShop Business has changed too.

You may have noticed that our October issue looks a lot different. That’s because we’ve gone through an extensive redesign to make your experience with our magazine better. You’ll notice more “white space” in our features, departments and columns, better and bigger photography, and different fonts. 

You’ll also notice that we’ve called attention to the fact that Babcox Media will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2020. What better time to change things up? You don’t make it 100 years without staying ahead of the curve, so we’re doing just that to make it another 100 years. 

I really hope you enjoy the new look and feel of BodyShop Business. As always, I appreciate your feedback, so feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] to let me know what you think of the new and improved BodyShop Business.

Change is everywhere! Is there anything that is not changing? Change, as they say, is inevitable. I liken it to a freight train that will steamroll you unless you get on board.
