10. POST IS FOR KEEPS
Most magazines get recycled with the pizza boxes. POST
readers are loyal. They save every issue. They collect them on
their coffee tables. They line them up on their bookshelves. And
they show them to family and friends. That means your ad gets
viewed over and over again.
9. WE ARE WHERE YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE
POST is sold in the most convenient places possible: Every
single Wegmans, every single Barnes & Noble, Hart’s Local
Grocers, Abundance Co-op and Lori’s Natural Foods. These are
our partners. We love them. They love us.
8. WE SELL OUT
The stores who carry POST all say the same thing: They sell
more of POST than any other local magazine. In fact, POST
consistently sells out every single Rochester-area Wegmans and
Barnes & Noble.
7. YOU’LL LOOK REALLY GREAT ON PAPER
Hold POST in your hands. Our paper is heavier. Our format
is larger. We invest in the quality of our printed product, and
it shows. This means your ad looks like a million, feels like a
million, and is that much more impactful to the reader.
6. OUR CONTENT IS MADE BY THE BEST
If you want to experience some of the best writing,
photography, illustration, and design in town, open POST.
Our magazine has attracted the best of the best in Rochester—
dedicated, hard-working, and talented folks whose award-
winning work has also appeared in The New York Times,
The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Vogue, and
Conde Nast Traveler.
5. IT’S A SLOW READ
POST readers tell us they savor every page of the magazine.
Because it’s a slow read, your ad is appreciated. It’s not read in
a hurry on a smart phone. It’s read while someone is completely
relaxed and, very likely, in a wonderful mood because
downtime has begun.
4. OUR STORIES MATTER
At the heart of every POST story is a human being. We don’t
care about surface. We care about what’s in people’s hearts.
What motivates them, makes them hurt, makes them smile,
makes them do what they do to make the world a better place.
If people want fast news, they can read the daily paper. Our
stories are meant to evoke feeling, inspire change, and shift the
way you think.
3. YOU’LL BE PART OF THE REVIVAL
POST magazine was born as a way to represent a more diverse
Rochester, post-Kodak, post-our reliance on manufacturing, to
a more diverse work force of small businesses and individuals
doing what they do best—whether its metal sculpture, culinary
arts, writing or research. So when you advertise with us, you
send the message: I believe in Rochester.
2. YOUR AD WILL BE TRUSTED
Yes, you have a multitude of options when it comes to
advertising your business. But consider this: A study done by
Simmons Multi-Media Engagement showed that magazines
score higher and are viewed as being more “trustworthy” when
compared to advertisements on television or online.
1. THIS IS ROCHESTER
Every single person on the staff of POST either grew up in
Rochester or went to school here—and stayed. And we all have
one thing in common: We live and breathe this place! We love
it! But we’re not here to tell you what’s happening around town
(other publications are doing a great job of that). We’re here to
uncover the amazing people who make Rochester what it is—
the researchers, artists, chefs, renegades, leaders, and givers—
and the inspiring work they do on a daily basis. If someone is
doing work driven by their soul, you’ll find them in POST.
We’ve had e-mails from 80-something retired professors, tweets
from college students, requests from artists and musicians
living overseas, and subscription orders as far as Florida and
California. Our readers are wide-ranging and diverse. But they
all seem to share the following qualities: optimism, creativity,
inventiveness, astuteness, and generosity.
The core of POST readers are local and want to experience
things first hand, like Rochester’s world-class music, museums,
universities, art galleries, plays, farmers markets and food.
They are out there living life. And they believe Rochester is a
well-kept secret—on par with any big city in the world.
