Welcome to agriCULTURE Magazine! Now entering our second year, agriCULTURE Magazine is excited to share you with our growing readership. We are a monthly print and digital magazine focused on five key aspects of Georgia’s biggest industry: farming, gardening, eating, artisanal food and crafts, lifestyle … and where to go to find it. Our readers are Georgians and Southerners who love where they’re from and support the arts and agriculture of their region. All print ad prices include digital ads across our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) during the month the print ad runs. In the digital edition, each ad is linked to direct readers straight to your website, increasing viewership. All gift guide ads will be featured in our online component, back porch blog, which will be linked across our social media channels. All print ads are full-­‐color and must be submitted CMYK in high-­‐resolution JPG format, not to exceed 10 MBs in file size. Membership organizations and small businesses are granted a per-­‐ad discount off the bat for all in-­‐magazine ads and for certain bundles (please contact us to find out if your organization or business qualifies for discounted ad rates). Advertisers will be invoiced on the 1st of the publication month and payment must be received in full by the 30th of the publication month. Advertising bundles will be invoiced on the 1st of the first ad’s publication month and must be paid in full by the 30th of the following month. Please note that agriCULTURE staff does not offer advertising design. All ads must be submitted ready to print. 2016 to 2017 PRINT AD RATES
