Word of Mouth Starts with a Conversation
How many people do you talk to every day? Now, let’s do some math. How many more hands would you have to shake to reach over 100,000 folks each month? With our team, we engage 100,000 active, educated, and involved readers who have discretionary income and who take action based on what they read in our publication because we fit their lifestyle. Seriously, paper-based reading is preferred by the majority of people (even millennials). So who are these people? They are homeowners, business owners, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, educated consumers, newcomers, long-time residents, philanthropists, and are involved in this community. They are the people who care. Each issue, our 10,000 copies reach 25,000 readers, and online we have an average of 40,000 visitors a month. On social we are followed by more than 7,900 people, and our newsletters have a highly competitive open rate. Outside of the 4,500 homes that receive a complimentary subscription, we distribute in bars, restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, banks, music venues, galleries, schools, supermarkets, and the many other community buildings and organizations throughout the Eastside. EASTside Magazine is also distributed at events throughout the year such as film festivals, street fairs, farmer’s markets, concerts, and promotional parties. We’d love to help you make our audience your audience, too.

Yes, we were really excited to see that “movement” from the EastSide. Does advertising in your magazine work? Absolutely.

I went looking for a solid publication to advertise in about 7 years ago and when I found EAST magazine, I was super impressed initially with the magazine itself. The graphics were beautiful and the articles were well-written but little did I know how professional an experience it would be. Now several years later, I have gained not only clients from my advertising in EAST magazine but have gained friends as well and I could not be more happy with Will and his team at EAST.

“It’s good to partner with a magazine that has the same beliefs, concerns and connections to the community. It feels like more than just an advertisement in a magazine. It feels like a way to stay in tune with our neighbors and surrounding businesses.” – Scott Ziskovsky // Flyrite Chicken & Beer
“EASTside Magazine has brought us traffic from people who live and play in East Austin. We have had people who drive directly from a restaurant like the Omelettry after seeing our ad or come in and point to the magazine in our office and cite it as their way of knowing we are here. The great content and photography don’t hurt either! It has been a great source of name recognition.” – Ann Rayborn // InTown Homes
“Prime Pet partnered with EASTside Magazine several months ago because of the magazine’s creative, attentive, and easy to work with staff.
We also really liked the dedication to this side of town and the opportunity to reach out to friends and neighbors we haven’t had the chance to meet as of yet. We have been very happy with the collaborative approach taken by EASTside and our business is reaching the exact market that we would like to reach.” – Burton Cleveland // Prime Pet
“During ACL last year, a couple flew into town from Atlanta, stopped at an east Austin pub for a drink, and picked up EASTside magazine. They saw my ad, and after their drink drove straight to my studio and spent several hundred dollars on journals for themselves and friends back home. That was my first experience with advertising! I have continued with EASTside every issue since then, and am thrilled with the response! I’ve been a part of the East Austin artistic community for 14 years now, but I have never advertised. I was apprehensive about the whole thing, but Will made the process so easy. I ended up with a beautiful ad, and have had such a great response that I have continued with it every issue since that first one! I LOVE this magazine!” – Mychal Iona // Iona Handcrafted Books
“Since we started using Eastside, we can’t keep the magazines in the store. People love to see the ads and tell us that they see our images all the time. Eastside has become an important part of our media strategy when trying to connect with the local Austin culture.” -Jacob Gonzales, Marketing Strategist, World Interiors
