GayCalgary Magazine - 2013 Media Kit

In a province where our major cities lack a defined “Gay Village”, GayCalgary Magazine is the only force that unites the many isolated parts of Alberta’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans (LGBT) communities.We have over 20 years of experience with the Alberta LGBT community, and continue to be highly involved in many aspects thereof, sharing a personal rapport with our readers. We know that our readers want their point of view to be discussed, something they simply don’t get elsewhere. Furthermore, we lend a voice to Lesbian, Bi, and Trans individuals who are often left out of Gay men’s publications.

Our goal is to be Alberta’s primary information source for LGBT community and culture - and we succeed in spades. We know the Alberta LGBT community inside and out, and as such, we deliver the most current, accurate, and comprehensive picture of it. This makes us the irreplaceable go-to source in our market, read by locals and visitors to Alberta cities - something that no other publication comes close to accomplishing for our region. Furthermore, our magazine is extremely popular not only across Canada, but is read throughout the US and the world, even surpassing National Canadian LGBT publications!

Canada’s #1 Most Popular LGBT Magazine The Voice of Alberta’s LGBT Community

MORE ABOUT USGayCalgary Magazine is an independently owned, operated, and funded publication out of Calgary, Alberta - hence our namesake. Publishers Steve Polyak and Rob Diaz-Marino, business partners and life partners, go the extra mile with everything they do, both in the magazine and for Alberta’s LGBT community.

The interest and involvement in the entertainment industry of our senior writers and local celebrity correspondents, Jason Clevett and Evan Kayne, have made inroads for GayCalgary Magazine with major celebrities, artists, events and promoters. Meanwhile our US celebrity correspondent, Chris Azzopardi, reels in further interview opportunities that may not be available locally but still impact us as Canadians. For several years now, GayCalgary Magazine has received media accreditation to major events alongside of many well known mainstream publications - one of many signs that this magazine is known and respected in the entertainment industry.

GayCalgary Magazine recognizes that new technologies like Tablets and E-book Readers are causing a general reduction in demand for commercial print materials. We have seen a similar trend in our own readership over the past 3 years, where demand for print copies has started to decline and our online readership has continued to grow in leaps and bounds.In order to remain a viable and competitive media outlet to best serve our advertisers, and to best satisfy readership demand, we are gradually shifting our focus from print to online.During and beyond this transition we are continuing to produce a print product for our market as demand dictates. However, as we offer more online features that benefit advertisers and readers, we will also be slowly moving some content to be exclusively online.While we have always offered the ability to download an electronic copy of GayCalgary Magazine from our

website since Issue #1, over the past year we have made inroads with another technology.We harness the power of ISSUU.com, an online service that delivers an electronic flipbook version of GayCalgary Magazine to our readers each month, making our product easier and quicker for readers to access. We have quickly grown in popularity on ISSUU.com, and have been the #1 best read Canadian LGBT publication through ISSUU.com for several years!We strongly encourage our advertisers to begin considering the benefits of web banner advertising in addition to their existing print advertising. As a special deal this year, we are offering our web banner advertising at half price when booked alongside print advertising.

GayCalgary.com has been the trend setter for community-oriented LGBT web sites since 1998. The web site is updated daily with news, events, photos, and more.

CIRCULATION & DISTRIBUTIONCONTROLLED PRINT CIRCULATIONWe use a controlled circulation method as our primary means of reaching our print audience. New and loyal readers can pick up the magazine at no cost to them, at a wide selection of locations in downtown Calgary, many locations across Alberta, and select locations across Canada and in the United States.

Monthly Print Quantity ............................5,000 - 7,000 copies Guaranteed Circulation ........................................ 5,000 copies Bonus Circulation .......................................Up to 2,000 copies

We guarantee that no less than 5,000 print copies will be in circulation every month. As an advertiser, this is all that you pay for. However, our vibrant and active community offers special events, trade shows, dances, competitions, etc., that we utilize as opportunities for bonus distribution (see our Publishing Schedule for more information).

Our readers value our product, often collecting magazines or keeping them around for future reference for many months afterward. This results in additional exposure for advertisers.

ONLINE CIRCULATIONEvery month, we make a complete copy of the print magazine available in electronic (PDF + ISSUU.com flipbook) format on our website, alongside of an interactive web version, at no additional cost to our advertisers or our readers. We are also the #1 most read Canadian LGBT Publication on ISSUU.com. This “online edition” offers additional perks and special features to help you get a return on your advertising.This sets us apart from most other LGBT publications which rely on fewer method of distributing their editions online. By providing so many options for readers, we ensure accessibility for a wider range of devices, and thus reach a wider range of readers.

PRINT & ONLINE SUBSCRIPTIONSWe know that Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Trans individuals in Alberta value their privacy, and many are reluctant to have a gay publication arrive at their door each month.So while we offer paid print subscriptions for the convenience of a small number of individuals in remote areas or outside of the province, we know that paid distribution is not an effective way to reach our audience.Instead, we currently provide FREE online subscriptions to approximately 12,000 subscribers through the GayCalgary.com website, Facebook, and Twitter.

READERSHIPFor a local magazine we reach an astounding number of people, not only Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Trans, but also straight individuals who are supportive of, and are interested in, LGBT issues and perspectives.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWHAT AD SIZE SHOULD I PURCHASE?

Advertising works by reinforcing your message to readers. Therefore, when possible, you should budget your advertising to last at least 3 months if not more. We offer incremental frequency discounts to advertisers who commit to advertising over several months.Choose your ad size based on what you can afford to sustain, keeping in mind that larger ads are more likely to catch reader attention, and that it may take time to build trust with readers before you see a return on your advertising.For time-sensitive material, larger size ads enable you to make a bigger impact in a shorter amount of time.

HOW CAN I GET A SPECIAL DEAL ON MY ADVERTISING?

GayCalgary Magazine offers special discounts to reward long-term advertisers, in increments of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. See our rate card for details.Furthermore, we offer a 10% discount on print advertising for customers who pre-pay for their advertising. Payment must be received, or credit card information must be on file and pre-authorized before our Material Deadline to be eligible.

DOES GAYCALGARY MAGAZINE REACH A NATIONAL AUDIENCE?

GayCalgary Magazine is a regional publication that caters its community-related content to Alberta readers. As a result, Alberta readers find our publication more meaningful to them personally, and with this higher level of engagement comes more effective advertising exposure.However, our magazine also contains a great deal of content that is not region specific, such as our celebrity interviews, travel features, political column; or topics of interest to tourists, such as major community events. This attracts readers from across Canada, the US, and the World to read our publication online.According to Alexa.com, a 3rd party site that ranks websites around the world, our website (GayCalgary.com) is currently the #1 most popular website of all

LGBT Publications across Canada - including National publications.Furthermore, the electronic flipbook version of our magazine on ISSUU.com receives anywhere between 5 and 20 times more views each month than other local and national Canadian LGBT publications who use ISSUU exclusively for their online distribution (we receive an additional 150,000 average downloads from our PDF edition each month).So although we say we are a regional publication, advertisers can reach a National audience through GayCalgary Magazine without paying 3 to 4 times our rates to be in National LGBT newspapers or magazines.

WHAT SHOULD MY AD LOOK LIKE?

Investing in ad space is sometimes not enough; the appearance of your ad is a critical factor in its effectiveness. The number one reason print ads are overlooked is because they are ugly: cluttered, hard to read, poorly laid out, contain low quality images, etc. If your ad doesn’t offer readers something that they want to look at, then it is likely to slip by them unnoticed.Here are some basic guidelines for designing your ad:Grab Reader Attention - something about your ad needs to get them to initially look at it. This is typically accomplished with an attractive image, or a brief heading that inspires further curiosity.Information at a Glance - the important details of your ad should be obvious, and absorbable by readers within seconds of looking at it. If your message isn’t immediately clear, most readers will move on.Additional Details - when your ad does catch a reader’s full attention, you may wish to include further information in smaller print. But be careful not to overdo it, too much text can be worse than not enough.Making Contact - when readers are interested in your ad, it is critical to give them a way of reaching you. In most cases, a phone number is essential so that readers can obtain information. An E-mail address works to a lesser degree. For a retail store or venue, a Street Address is critical. A Web Address is also helpful.

FAQ’S CONTINUEDFor events, it is critical to mention location, date, and most commonly forgotten, a time, even if only tentative. In our recent reader survey, 37% said they wouldn’t bother attending an event without a time listed!If you feel your in-house design capabilities are not up to par, talk to us about designing your ads for you. Our graphic designers will help you to develop an effective advertising campaign.

WHY IS THE MAGAZINE NOT OUT ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH?

GayCalgary Magazine’s target schedule is to be released within the first week of every month, not necessarily on the 1st day of the month. We plan the magazine’s press schedule around important community events, not around end-of-month boundaries. This allows us to publish community event coverage in a more logical and timely fashion, so that month-end event photos can appear immediately in the following edition, not two or three months later.Advertisers receive roughly the same duration of exposure per edition as they would within a normal month. However, advertisers may want to consider promoting some events a month in advance (e.g. an event occurring early in December should consider advertising in the November edition). Failing this, we have other deadline-free advertising options, such as web banners.

I’M A DAY (OR TWO) LATE FOR A PRESS DEADLINE - WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Submit your files regardless, and call us immediately! There may still be a chance for your advertising to be added before the final designs are submitted to our printers. However, it is at our digression to refuse the late ad insertion if it causes unreasonable hassle.For deadline information, refer to the information in this media kit, visit our website, or subscribe to our monthly business newsletter for reminders and updates.

IS YOUR CIRCULATION AUDITED?

No. By using controlled circulation, we already know where our magazines are going. We verify critical

locations ourselves, and have paperwork from third-party distributors to show that the rest is being distributed.

WHAT DOES THE MAGAZINE DO TO SUPPORT THE LGBT COMMUNITY?

GayCalgary Magazine is an independently owned for-profit business, however, part of our mandate is to maintain a very strong commitment to LGBT community, culture and history.Much of LGBT community and culture arises from grass-roots non-profit organizations, charities, and special interest groups who invent creative ways to raise funds or inspire participation in fun activities.Our magazine is a wonderful means for exposure that can help these groups and their events to grow. We offer in-kind advertising and services as acknowledged sponsorship for community groups who, in some cases, may otherwise not be able to afford it. When possible, we also frequently write preview articles about upcoming events, and publish photographic coverage that may work to promote future events. In turn, this benefits our advertisers, who see higher pick-up rates because of our community involvement.

DO THE ARTICLES AND PHOTOGRAPHY FEATURES RELATE TO ADVERTISING?

Our photography features are created according to the magnitude of the event, its relevance to our readership, and the number of photos that turn out well enough to publish. Advertising may make us aware of businesses and events that we should cover, but the amount of advertising a customer purchases does not carry any guarantee about quantity of coverage.

HOW MANY PEOPLE SUBSCRIBE TO GAYCALGARY?

Currently an estimated 12,000 people subscribe electronically to GayCalgary Magazine through GayCalgary.com, Facebook, and Twitter. They receive updates when the electronic copy of the magazine is posted, along with notifications of new online articles, events, photos and videos, prize draws and more.
