About Weddings & Events Magazine

Why Target Niche Print and Digital

Our consistent growth over the past 30 years has shown the power of the Special Interest Printed Product.

The ability to concentrate your ad dollars on the people you know are right for your product or service is a game changer. This idea isn ’t new, though. It ’s why our target print and digital advertising products have been growing for many years.

But despite our success, the digital era has some people wondering why we build our business on a traditional industry model. The answer is easy. Print works for us and it does for our readers and thus does for our advertisers. The feel. The look. The smell. Print engages the senses in a way digital never will. It offers the eyes a much -needed screen break. It ’s a simple tool, no threat of viruses and no dependency on wifi .

For our advertisers, print ’s audience is controlled, intentional and specific in a way other advertising opportunities can’t be. Printed products last, they can always be there and remain on coffee tables and bedside tables for as long as the reader likes.

However, we are Digital as well. The magazine is online and each page linked to the appropriate advertiser. We also include a complementing website listing and Social Media Pages. Our Facebook Group Page, Upstate Weddings & Events has over 6300 members and grows by 160 new members each month.
