Precision
Circulation Targeting Reaches the Affluent Out East Market
That's
the Living Out East Difference!
Now incorporating Living Healthy
With Doctors Health Journal
Living Out East Magazine’s
30,000 circulation has not been arrived at haphazardly. Approximately
80% of our circulation is in Manatee County and 20% is in Sarasota
County. It is a precision targeted monthly distribution system
based on careful study of the market and consumer preferences
right here out east rather than in New York, Longboat
Key or Silicon Valley. It is designed to do one thing and do it
well: reach the exact residents, visitors and snowbirds you
want to target.
It works by creating
a precision triad of 20,000 copies mailed directly to the right
affluent households, distributing 5,000 copies by courier to carefully-chosen
businesses, offices and high-traffic locations to reach visitors
(and reinforce our mailed copies) and distributing another 5,000
copies by carrier to communities where carrier distribution enhances
penetration.
Each component reinforces the others. Together, they target precisely the right consumers to bring your advertising message on target month after month.
- The combined lifestyle and health magazine is mailed to 20,000
of the most affluent households in the region. The 20,000 includes
the area east of I-75 from Bee Ridge Road north to the Ellenton
and Parrish areas and west of I-75. Among the great communities
served are Laurel Oak, The Founders Club, the Concession, Panther
Ridge, Lakewood Ranch, River Wilderness, Palm Aire and University
Park Country Club.
- We also home-deliver another 5,000 copies to homes in communities
that include Waterlefe, Tara and Creekwood.
- An additional 5,000 copies are delivered by courier to high-traffic
hotels, businesses and offices out east and in downtown Sarasota
and Bradenton in order to capture the snowbirds, visitors and
the business community.
Please note that these are actual circulated
copies of the magazine, not “readers affected” or “readership”
or other inflated terms that some competing publications use to
describe their circulation.
Value
Advertising in Living Out East is a tremendous value because people
read it! They tell us they read and often keep each beautiful glossy
issue of LOE because of the interesting articles and great photography.
As for rates, they speak for themselves. We have compared our rates
per thousand circulation (the only way fair way to measure what
you get for your advertising investment) to other area publications
and we are far-and-above the market leaders.
Don't just take our word for it. Here are the data,
based on the best contract rate for a full page color ad,
taken from the current rate cards of all publications, including
color charges, if any.
Note: Living Out
East and Living Healthy includes free full color in all advertising.

Demographics
Out east is a very affluent area. Based
on the latest figures available, the household income is well
over $100,000 in major out east communities like Lakewood Ranch,
University Park Country Club, The FOunders Club and Laurel Oak..
The area is undergoing
rapid growth due to the influx of people seeking the expanding
jobs and lifestyle amenities in the community. Hundreds of million-dollar-plus
homes are being built in the area and are attracting buyers from
around the nation as well as other parts of Florida. The average
home sold in 2004 in Lakewood Ranch sold for $511,000 and is up
even more in 2005 and 2006 and is holding steady in 2007. There's
no housing bubble here! Young people are flocking here in droves
and our school construction is barely keeping up.
