Let Delmarva Youth & Family Magazine Promote Your Business
OFFERS ADVERTISING THAT IS TARGETED AND AFFORDABLE!
Delmarva Youth & Family Magazine was first published in July 2004 to address the interests and needs of Eastern Shore families and children. Our mission is to encourage young people of every age by providing them with community recognition for their accomplishments. In accomplishing this, Delmarva Youth also strives to be a valuable family/parent resource by providing articles that help adults in their mission to teach, raise, and commit themselves to the betterment of young people by keeping them informed and providing them with local support from businesses and organizations who value the importance of raising happy, healthy, successful children.
Distribution: Delmarva Youth Magazine prints and distributes 14,000 copies per issue. DY can be picked up in more than 400 locations including these family-friendly communities - MARYLAND: Salisbury, Hebron, Mardela, Snow Hill, Berlin, Bishopville, Ocean Pines, Ocean City, Fruitland, Princess Anne, Crisfield, and Pocomoke City; DELAWARE: Delmar, Laurel, Seaford, Georgetown, Rehoboth Beach, Fenwick, and more.
Repeated Exposure Ten Months a Year: Unlike newspaper advertising, your ad in Delmarva Youth will circulate and be read for an entire month (except in summer and winter when it will be read for two months.) Magazine advertising also lends itself to multiple readers having access to one copy.
Money: Advertising lets potential purchasers of your products and services know who you are, what you offer, and what your business stands for. If you are looking for a media outlet that will most directly and cost-efficiently reach the people who value the goods and services you offer, then we believe you will find Delmarva Youth to be the right choice in advertising for you. Consider these reasons:
- BEST RATES: Delmarva Youth has the best rates in town, hands down. Compare them to other local full-color publications. We keep our rates down by printing in accordance to our pick-up rate. Rather than printing 25 to 30 thousand copies and throwing away half at the end of the cycle, we print and distribute 14 thousand and maintain a very high pick-up rate in the 95th percentile. In outlying areas such as parts of Sussex and Somerset Counties, as sponsorship and advertising increase, so will our printing and distribution. Close monitoring of distribution and consumer pick-up ensures our advertisers that their money is not being thrown away.
- SHOWS THE COMMUNITY YOUR SUPPORT FOR YOUTH: Delmarva Youth’s mission of highlighting the accomplishments of young people is accomplished with the advertising support of great local businesses like you. In fact, we so gratefully acknowledge the support of our advertisers, that we regularly find ways to share their mission with our readers. As a Delmarva Youth advertiser, we believe that you too will find the benefit of having your mission become part of ours. Not only will you spend your advertising dollars in an attractive, targeted, full-color publication that will successfully increase your sales and bring you recognition for your support of Delmarva families, but your advertising will help us publish news that highlights Delmarva’s kids and families, and supports the community.
- TARGETED AUDIENCE: Perhaps the best reason to advertise in Delmarva Youth is that parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, coaches, business owners and ALL persons with a vested interest in children will see your ad, share it with others, and ultimately increase your ad’s exposure.
Our distribution is targeted to more than 400 select locations on Delmarva including:
