About our calendar advertising

WomanExpoSpeakerEvents, seminars and workshops allow your business to promote your knowledge, business or practice in a way that benefits our readers - by helping to educate and inform those who attend - and helps brand you as a credible resource and expert in the community, invaluable when readers seek expert advice, products and services.

Natural Awakenings Magazine of East Michigan offers a wide variety of methods and options for promoting your event(s) in both print and online. Whether it's for a single issue/month or ongoing, Natural Awakenings is your number one resource for getting your event information in front of over 45,000 East Michigan readers in our healthy living niche' (in print each month) and a potentially unliminted number of readers online/combined.

Pilates InstructorWhile our experience has shown that this is most effectively done with low-cost  admission (or FREE) seminars, talks and other such events. If your event is larger or more elaborate, such as workshops, expos, festivals, fairs and ongoing training course, all of which at typically more expensive to produce and have differing goals and objectives, etc., more elaborate promotion may be more effective.

You're going to want to make sure you choose the best option for your needs. After you review this information, if your questions are not answered we can help. Contact information is below. 

There are two different categories of approaches from which you can choose. Within each of those categories, you'll have several options. Many of the options / categories can be, and sometimes are, combined, both for effect and cost savings. It will be helpful to have a copy of our magazine handy, if you're not familiar with these various options.

In addition to the Natural Awakenings Calendar, we offer NewsBriefs and print display advertising for larger events. The larger your event, the more exposure may be needed to promote it for success (2-3 months in advance is common for larger events).

Natural Awakenings has options available for all of your desired approaches as well as consulting and guidance...if needed.

2. Premium Mark Your Calendar and Calendar Display ad (print, online).
Cost range:
 $49 to $149

Our experience has shown that events with admission costs over $49 are usually not effective when integrated in with the calendar regular "text" listings. Events (classes, workshops, clinics, training courses, etc.) with admission above $49 typically require a stronger, more visible approach to get the attention they need to be effective. This can be achieved through regular display or native advertising (see below) or by utilizing these Mark Your Calendar or Calendar Display Ad options.

Ask about promotion on our website (Online Special Events) and several social media channels.
