The magazines

Two magazines in every market

Both are 8.5 × 11 and editorial first: local stories come first, and ads stay small and inside the pages.

How it works

From sign-up to the mailbox in four steps

Start with a free account to see every option for your market, and our team helps you book your spots.

  1. Pick your market and magazine

    One market or several. The Homebuyer Quarterly, the Monthly, or both.

  2. See what’s open and your price

    Spots left in each issue and your exact price, shown before you create an account. Prepaying saves more.

  3. Build your ad

    Use the ad builder, upload finished art, or have our team design it. You approve a proof before print.

  4. We print, deliver and list you

    Your ad runs in the magazine and your business gets an upgraded listing on the market’s website.

Print and online

Every print ad comes with a website upgrade

Each market has its own Key to website with local stories and a business directory. Advertisers stand out there too.

An upgraded listing

Logo, photos, description, hours and social links in the market website’s business directory.

“As seen in” badge

Your listing carries an “As seen in” badge naming the magazine you appear in.

Your own stats

See website clicks, calls, QR code scans and visits that came from your ad.

Featured placement

Homebuyer Quarterly advertisers are featured on their category page and in the home-page partner strip.

Home-page spotlight

Advertise in both magazines in a market and rotate into the home-page spotlight.

Room to stand out

We aim to run one business per category in each issue, so you aren’t lost among competitors.

Why it works

A magazine people want to read is one they keep around

Each issue is built around local stories: the neighborhoods, the seasons, the homes and the people who take care of them. Ads are small, sit among those stories and never take over a page.

That leaves room for only a handful of businesses in each issue, and we aim to run one business per category, so the readers who pick it up see you, not a page of your competitors.

Questions

What advertisers ask us

How big are the ads?

Homebuyer Quarterly ads are all one size, about 3 × 2 inches. In the Monthly you can choose a single unit or a double (two units). Every ad runs on the inside pages, among the stories.

How long do I need to commit?

One month for the Homebuyer Quarterly and two months for the Monthly. Billing is monthly and renews automatically.

How is the price set?

It depends on the market, your type of business, how many spots are left in the issue and when you book. You see your exact price before you sign up, it stays the same while you keep advertising, and prepaying for several months or a year costs less.

Can you design my ad?

Yes. Build it yourself with the ad builder (logo, headline, text, phone, colors), upload finished art, or ask our team to design it. You approve a proof before anything goes to print.

When will my ad appear?

Each issue closes to new ads about a month before it prints. Book before the close and you’re in that issue; after it, you start with the next one. You always see your first issue before you pay.

Who gets the magazines?

The Homebuyer Quarterly goes to new home buyers through local title companies. The Monthly is delivered door to door to 10,000 households in the market every month, and readers who scan the QR code in an ad keep receiving it.

Can I advertise in more than one market?

Yes. Choose as many markets as you like. Agencies can manage several businesses from one account.

What do I get online?

Every print advertiser gets an upgraded listing on the market’s website with an “As seen in” badge, plus a stats dashboard for clicks, calls and QR scans.
