I’ve talked to a number of local small business owners who are really struggling with how to get their business’s name out there to potential customers, or how to remind past customers that they’re still there.
A friend of mine, Michelle Jester of Michelle Jester Media, Michelle Jester Photography, and Rope Swing Publishing, is launching a new magazine targeting Louisiana women and focusing on our unique lifestyle. Modern Grace Magazine will be a FREE quarterly publication with an upbeat, positive, motivational focus, written by Louisiana writers for Louisiana readers, and its first issue goes out in mid-July. Their initial run is set for 30,000 issues to be distributed for free to hospital and medical waiting rooms, and there will be an online version with additional content on their website.
The social media reach for the publication before it has even launched is already 13,000, just to give you an idea of the great, advance word-of-mouth about the magazine (you can find Modern Grace Magazine on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), and if you include the reach of its individual contributors, the number is closer to 150,000!
Michelle has already lined up all of her major advertisers but still has a few slots open:
1/8 page ad: $245
1/4 page ad: $480
These two sizes of ads are exclusive within your industry — if you place a 1/8th or 1/4th page ad, they will not accept any ads from your direct competitors.
Alternatively, they have a very limited number of small ad placements, with your logo and address only, on their City Highlights Page for $60. Their cities highlighted include Denham, Watson, Walker, Central, and BR.
To place your ad, or for more information, please contact Michelle at 225.380.8800 or moderngracemag@cox.net — tell her you heard about her from DenhamDeals!
