Two to a category, and most get one
We limit every issue to no more than two advertisers per category, and in most cases our clients enjoy category exclusivity. The reader who opens the magazine at home meets your business, not a run of its competitors.
Mail where your customers live
You can geo-target a specific area, expand to several zones or mail to the entire Metro East. A shop in Edwardsville can run in the Madison County South edition alone; a business with customers in both Alton and Belleville can add River Bend and St. Clair South. Advertisers who want all six zones use our regional discount program.
We build the ad with you
We can design a customized ad, or a set of ads, to your specifications and position it strategically in each magazine you run in. We work with you or your team on the ad, then build the campaign around what you need.
The cover is an ad page too
The Early Spring 2024 Madison County South edition opened on a full-page Nothing Bundt Cakes ad for its Fairview Heights bakery, coupon and all. The two other covers in the picture, from the same season, carried SK aesthetics clinic and MassageLuxe.
What the price depends on
Rates vary based on ad size, the zones you want to reach and the length of your commitment, so there is no rate card here. Call (618) 239-4735 or send the form and we will price the combination you have in mind.

Questions
Magazine Advertising: questions
How many advertisers from the same category can be in one issue?
No more than two, and in most cases our clients enjoy category exclusivity, so you are often the only business of your kind in the issue.
Can I advertise in just one part of the Metro East?
Yes. You can geo-target one zone, expand to several, or mail to the entire Metro East, where the regional discount program applies.
Will Living Local design my magazine ad?
Yes. We can design a customized ad, or a set of ads, to your specifications and position it strategically in each magazine you run in.
What decides the price of a magazine ad?
Three things: the ad size, the zones you want to reach and the length of your commitment. Call (618) 239-4735 for a rate on the combination you want.
