advertise with StreetWise
Because StreetWise is more than a magazine, that means you’re more than an advertiser. And by purchasing ad space in our magazine, you’ll not only promote your business, but you’ll support hundreds of in-need Chicagoans, too.
People come to StreetWise because they need a little extra help. We help them get back on their feet by providing efficient job training, moral support, and financial services. When they become a StreetWise vendor, they become committed to making a change in their life—and we want you to be a part of this commitment.
Each vendor buys our magazine for 75 cents. Then he/she sells it to the local community for $2—making a profit of $1.25 that immediately helps them sustain a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Our vendors sell magazines seven days a week, taking extra care to be visible during prime rush and business hours.
Our recent changes
StreetWise recently underwent a dramatic change to advance our circulation and readership. On June, 9, 2010, we ran a special edition of our magazine with fresh content and a more modern layout. We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback since.
Among the things we’ve changed is our target audience. We’re now reaching out to a more youthful, active local audience. The stories are shorter, more visual, and retain a Chicago-centric focus that builds upon the social consciousness of the community.
Our media kit reflects these changes. Included, you’ll find:
- A letter from the publisher
- Brand synergy among the magazine, print and offline media
- Descriptions of our editorial departments
- Our editorial calendar
- Circulation and audience facts
- Print and web rates
- Added value
