Why Advertise with Within Kingston?

With all the various types of advertising options out there, what makes Within Kingston different? We like to think in the most simplest of ways, we don't want to be everything to everyone, being specific is what makes us special, and it's also what gets your message across to the people who want what you have to offer.

Our readers are well-educated and are actively pursuing life-enhancing opportunities in the areas of health, home, personal growth, fitness, spirituality, culture, cuisine, and green lifestyles.

With Within Kingston Magazine you reap the benefits of two of the most effective business growth strategies:

1) Target Marketing: Unlike the newspaper or many other similar publications which are targeted to the masses, without really knowing or caring what they want, need, or are interested in, Within Kingston values it's readership and is specifically targeted to holistic health, wellness, spirituality, and environmental sustainability. The magazine achieves this through featuring thought-provoking well written articles by national authors as well as local leaders in these fields, and advertisers who are committed to these specific causes, through their services and products.

2) Exposure and Development of Name Recognition: For the cost of a single placement your advertisement receives three full months of continuous exposure. Because of the extensive and engaging 'Datebook', the magazine is reviewed repeatedly throughout the two-month time period. This is a decidedly cost-effective advantage over daily, weekly and monthly publications and has a proven history of generating increased income. With our strong web presence this is a powerful combination.

And as an added bonus - Within Kingston also has the most cost-effective marketing available. In comparing our rates to other publications, they are the most reliable you will find.

Within Kingston Display Advertising

A display ad offers maximum flexibility and exposure. You choose the size, content, and look of your ad. Rates vary by size and frequency of advertisement. These ads are very effective for one-time events, products and services that do not require a lot of explanation, or where a visual image is important to convey your unique message.

Within Kingston Web Advertising

An Integrated Marketing Opportunity.

Our web site is promoted in Within Kingston Magazine, as well as through online search engines. This combined marketing effort will increase your online exposure by reaching thousands of customers each month.

Online Advertising continues where print advertising leaves off.

It provides more detailed information about you, your company, products, services and testimonials. But it offers it in a way that provides a lot more space, flexibility, convenience and accessibility for customers than traditional print advertisement allows.

It can cost you to not have an online presence, because you turn away a significant number of potential clients by not being accessible online when they need you. Our recommendation is even if you do decide that Within Kingston's online directory isn't for you, please ensure that at a minimum you have some sort of web-presence, as it allows you to reach and connect with a multitude of potential clients, current clients, and other practitioners and businesses. It's definitely worth more than it's weight in gold! :)
