We're Different ...

With other publications, placing your ad is often the end of the process. With us, it's only the beginning.

At Natural Awakenings, we don't just sell you an ad. We partner with you. We work with you to bring your services to our community. We help you grow.

Our readers, your customers, don't just see your ad. They learn about you through briefs and articles, at no extra cost to you. Each NewsBrief alone amounts to approximately $200 of free advertising space for you and your business. They see your activities in our calendar, and display advertisers receive up to five free calendar entries each month. Resource Guide advertisers receive up to three free entries. This "value added" aspect of advertising with Natural Awakenings makes our already-comparable prices unbeatable.

Our magazine is designed to give you the tools to succeed. We operate using the proven advertising principle of "spaced repetition." We give you opportunities to appear several places in the magazine (ads, briefs, articles, resource guides, calendars), over several months. When a reader's need arises, they think of you.

Contact us about advertising. Our staff has experience with business communications, ad analysis, and design. We are here as a resource for you, regardless of your advertising decisions. You receive no pressure, no unwanted calls, no hard sale tactics - only help and advice.

Community Resource Guide (CRG) listings are an incredible value, either as a supplement to your display ad or as your only ad. With four lines of identifying information and a 25-word description, this information-packed "mini ad" gives you a regular presence in our magazine at a low monthly cost. Display advertisers receive this listing at half price, while others have the option of up to a 25% discount with a 12-month contract.

Community Spotlights put all the attention on you and your business. Articles in Natural Awakenings are about areas of expertise; they are not about you, your business, or the products and services you offer. A spotlight, however, is a paid article and is priced as a full-page ad, along with editorial costs for writing and producing the article. Pricing information can be found on our rate sheet. Sample spotlights are available here. 

Natural Awakenings Calendars are a vital resource for filling advertisers’ workshops, seminars and special events. Readers tell us they  pick up our magazine at the beginning of each month specifically to help them plan their monthly schedule.

Our Events Calendar lists information by date (ie, the 12th, the 19th, etc). Entries cost $20 each and include approximately 50 words. Our Ongoing Calendar lists information by day (ie, every Monday, every Tuesday). Entries cost $10 each and include approximately 25 words. Save the Date ads bring extra attention to your event and can be purchased for $40.

To submit a calendar entry, click on the Submit Your Calendar Event link or the Submit Your Ongoing Event link on the left-hand column of this page, and then please contact us for payment. All fees must be pre-paid.
