Why advertise with the Saint Augustine Catholic Magazine?

Here are some quick facts:
The St. Augustine Catholic magazine reaches out to 50,000+ households throughout the Diocese of Saint Augustine.
The Diocese of Saint Augustine was officially established in 1870 but our roots date back to 1565 when the first Mass was celebrated and the first permanent parish was established.
The regional territory of the diocese is comprised of 17 counties of Northeast and North Central Florida stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean.
Currently the diocese has 51 parishes and 9 mission churches; 32 Catholic schools, 1 Catholic hospital, 2 nursing homes, 1 retreat center, 6 campus ministries and about 50 diocesan outreach ministries.

Circulation & Readership
The St. Augustine Catholic magazine is mailed to 50,000+ Catholic households in the 17-county area of the Diocese of Saint Augustine.
Our readership is about 140,000 readers per issue, not including pass-along readership.
96% of our readers say they read the magazine, with 61% of the readers indicating they read it more than once during the month.
We are the second largest Catholic monthly in the southeastern U.S. and the largest faith and family values magazine in Florida.
About 70% of our readers live and work in the Jacksonville and Beaches area of the diocese. We also have large Catholic populations in the St. Augustine-Palm Coast and Gainesville areas.
We can deliver high quality consumers to your door.
Our advertising to editorial ratio is no more than 25% advertising to 75% editorial. That means your ad won’t get lost in a clutter of advertisements - your ad will be read.
In addition to the printed version of the magazine, our new digital edition will provide hyperlinks to email addresses and websites for your company or organization at no additional charge - visit www.staugcatholic.org.

Sponsorship Advertising
Several of our regular columns have attracted dedicated and loyal readers - such as Theology 101, In the Know with Father Joe, Spiritual Fitness, Your Marriage Matters, Parenting Journey and the Saint of the Month. You can sponsor one of these columns for nominal sponsorship of $300 per issue, which includes 3 lines with 40-characters and spaces per line.

Demographics of a Catholic Reader
• On the subject of demographics, Catholics consume more of just about everything when compared with the general public.
• They are 2.5 times more likely to take vacations of more than 100 miles from home.
• The St. Augustine Catholic appeals to all ages: 49% (60 years and older) and 51% (59 years or younger).
• More than half of our readers have household incomes that exceed $50,000 annually.

Why are magazines a good buy for reaching these demographics?
Magazine readers in particular are more likely to take action as a result of seeing your ad, according to the Magazine Publishers of America and magazines are the medium of choice for Influential Americans. They turn to magazines the most for making purchase decisions and recommendations.

So, if you want to influence people to use your financial services, hire your law firm, take a cruise or buy a car, use magazine advertising. See www.magazine.org. And while junk mail is tossed immediately, our magazine delivers your message in a way that is inviting and involving, and with the blessing of our bishop. We call it the halo effect!
