YC Life Mag Media Kit 2014

About YC life Magazine YC (Your Community) life Magazine is a full colour 6 x 9” glossy publication that is

published bi-monthly and circulated directly to select homes and businesses in the

St. Catharines area (Readership: 35,000). Having this type of circulation greatly

increases the responsiveness that advertisers are looking for especially considering

the unique “exclusivity” approach this magazine presents its advertising clients

with. We will not advertise competing businesses in this publication so your

message has considerably more impact on our readers when it comes time for

them to utilize your business/service for their needs.

Resourceful and relevant editorial that reflects

the communities we serve and professional

design and layout that will keep the publication

on the coffee tables and in readers’ hands…

that is what we wish to ensure for our clients.

Add to this a website and a social media

network for advertiser specials and promotions

and we have a publication that crosses media

platforms and will engage readers offline and

online.
