To Our Advertisers,

T he magazine all New York-ers have been waiting for is finally here. Not your

everyday, cookie-cutter, “same old dress and accessory page” magazine that we’re all used to seeing. We are the publication that brings you some of what you’re used to, some of what you hadn’t thought of, and mostly what you’ve always wished you could find in one place for FREE.

While you’re sure to see Gowns, Cakes, and Jewelry, New York City Bridal brings you something you can really use. Part time wedding schedule planner, directory/re-viewer for retailers, and expert advice bible; this free publication saves the consumer and retailer where it really counts – Time. We all know that time is money, being especially true for the New Yorker, you need to have the information that doesn’t require going to the retailer to find out you can’t find what you need. As a retailer, you don’t need the “I’m just looking” patron. You need a cus-tomer who is coming to purchase something that only you can provide.

We live in a city where a fabulous retailer can get lost in a sea of buildings, where a

bride can find just what she needs when she finds the right place, and the type of city where just advertising can make all the difference in sales. We have it all here in New York. The only missing piece is how to bring us all together. New York City Bridal knows how to do that….it all starts with advertising.

Beyond the localized magazine, we also provide a 20th century visually strong advertising solution to make your ad dollar stretch as far as the internet will take it. With online retailer/consumer interviews, interactive blog discussions and stories, and up to the minute trends and events; you won’t be far from the limelight you deserve.

You can’t afford to miss out on this unique opportunity. Set a trend by being one of the first businesses featured in this trendy “soon to be household name” New York Bridal staple. Don’t be left out of the 2010 issues.
