Advertising FAQ’s 

Studies show that consumers find magazine advertising more acceptable and enjoyable than advertising in other media.

What kind of web presence do you have?

A very comprehensive one. If you visit www.readitnews.com, you’ll find web-only stories and reviews, a comprehensive and user-friendly events calendar and all the multimedia and interactivity you’ve come to expect from a good online magazine.

Who are the people reading your magazine?

They’re local residents who tend to be older, enjoy reading, own their own homes and replace their cars periodically. Most of them make more than $30,000/year. They’re apt enjoy NPR’s programming as well.

Where does the magazine go?

We place it in Yarnell and Jerome and all points in between. The 7000 copies have 160 distribution points in restaurants, car dealerships, shops and grocery stores. Think Prescott, Prescott Valley and Chino Valley. And we never throw a single copy away. Ever.

I gave you an ad and you didn’t like it. What gives?

Read It Here does its very best to increase your success by helping you create ads that encourage direct-response. While branding IS important (see below), you might to get an offer for a rework if the ad doesn’t include, for example, a strong headline or an enticing call to action.

Wow! I ran several consecutive ads in Read It Here and noticed a big increase in my sales. How’d that happen?

What you’re experiencing is the miracle of print advertising. Readers see your name in a variety of venues over a period of time and trust that your business is solid and everlasting. Plus, adding a compelling headline and a call to action in your ad helped your customers build interest and know what to do with that interest. Advertising really, really works.

"We just got a new student from Read It Here! She was just visiting and she picked up the magazine and took it home and called us. That's part of what you said would happen, that tourists would pick it up and we have this distance learning program that works perfect for that. We got one from Read It Here. Yay!" - Abbey Carpenter, Admissions at Prescott College
