Publications

The Journal Publications produces 5 separate and distinct HyperLocal magazines serving the Rumson-Fair Haven-Sea Bright, Red Bank-Little Silver-Shrewsbury, Middletown-Lincroft, Holmdel & Colts Neck markets.

HyperLocal advertising mediums provide for far greater advertising impact than traditional local, regional or national entities.

Here’s why:

� HyperLocal magazines are more l ikely to create cover to cover consumption because the major ity of editor ial content is pertinent to the reader

� Advertising in HyperLocal magazines is far more l ikely to be seen and read thereby creating a greater and longer lasting impact on the reader

In addition, advertising in any of The Journal Magazines occurs in a low clutter environment enabling your marketing message a much better opportunity to stand out and generate a return on your investment.

With The Journal Publications five magazines, your marketing message is delivered by New Jersey’s most respected and recognized community publications surrounded by high-quality, relevant, HyperLocal content of interest to the reader.

These monthly magazines are also avai lable onl ine to digital readers at TheJournalNJ.com
