why us?

QUALITY WRITING HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ADVERTISING
Studies have shown that the number one factor affecting a magazine ad’s impact is how absorbing the articles are. Why? Readers treat their favorite magazines like their favorite authors. If they’re engaged, if they respect and trust a magazine and its writers, they won’t just wait around for the newest installment: they’ll seek out and read all the back-issues, buy subscriptions for stocking-stuffers, adorn their coffee tables, their night stands and most importantly, read and re-read. This type of loyalty is our editorial mission and the long-term exposure our sponsors deserve.

IN PRINT & ONLINE
Particularly in today’s economy, we know all to well that when it comes to an advertising budget, every penny counts! We have gone to great lengths to keep our costs competitive and our advertisement value unmatched.

—In addition to ad placement in print, our sponsors are listed on our website at no additional cost.

Strategically placed links from one quality website to another are the cornerstone of online success. These types of links will help to improve the overall visibility of our sponsors’ websites by giving them an additional tool to assist in advancing their websites in search engine results (Google, Yahoo, etc.).
