THE
Apple Core
The official publication of the Apple Canyon Lake Property Owners’ Assn
The Apple Core is published monthly and mailed to EVERY APPLE CANYON LAKE PROPERTY OWNER
plus a subscriber list. Our readers are interested in all social and sporting events, board reports or anything
that affects the Apple Canyon Lake scene. We think that it would be accurate to say that our newspaper is
read from cover to cover by individuals with ties in and outside of the immediate area. The Apple Core is an
excellent media in which to advertise your product or service.
We believe, by comparison, that our newspaper is one of the finest association publications in the state, if not
the entire Midwest. Wouldn't it be well worth your advertising dollar to place your business message where it's
read by an audience of property owners interested in doing business in this area and bringing their friends
and neighbors to do the same?
COMPARE OUR RATES WITH OTHER LOCAL PUBLICATIONS...AND KEEP IN MIND, WE MAIL
DIRECTLY TO THE PROPERTY OWNER, NOT JUST TO A POSTAL ADDRESS!
NOTE: OUR AD SIZES, IN A 4 COLUMN NEWSPAPER FORMAT, ARE UP TO 20%
LARGER THAN 5 COLUMN FORMAT NEWSPAPERS.
