Answers
Advertising questions
How much does an ad in Welcome Home cost?
From $490 for a sixth of a page in one issue to $2,715 for the outside back cover. A full page is $1,810 for a single issue, and every size gets cheaper per issue when you run it in two or more issues.
What is the ad deadline for the next issue?
February 16 for Spring, May 18 for Summer, August 17 for Fall and November 16 for Winter. Each issue then publishes the following month — March, June, September or December — so plan your artwork a few weeks before the deadline.
Is there a discount for advertising in every issue?
Yes. A full page drops from $1,810 for one issue to $1,525 each for two or three and $1,340 each for four, and paying for the year upfront brings it to $5,298. The other sizes step down the same way.
What file format does Welcome Home need for an ad?
A print-ready, high-resolution PDF in CMYK at 300 DPI, with bleeds where the size calls for them. A full page is 8.5 by 11 inches; the other sizes are in the table on this page. If you don’t have artwork, PA Stinger Press can lay it out.
How many people read Welcome Home Magazine?
Up to 25,000 local readers an issue, distributed at more than 300 locations across the Kalamazoo area. It’s free and it stays on coffee tables, counters and waiting-room racks for the whole season, not one scroll.
