Business Overview:
Established in 2002, this monthly magazine is part of a nationally recognized franchise and represents a truly turnkey business opportunity. With the widest circulation and readership of its kind in the area, this publication is a trusted source of information whose every issue is anticipated and consumed with interest by families all over Northwest Arkansas.
This publication operates on an advertising revenue business model, and currently features 100 advertisers in a typical issue. The seller has developed strong relationships with local schools and businesses of all sizes for both advertising and distribution.
This business needs little advertising, with word-of-mouth and reputation bringing the bulk of new accounts. The magazine has an extremely loyal base of advertising accounts, some of which have been with the publication since the launch of its first issue. The seller attends some expos and has many in-kind relationships in place for reciprocal advertising and exposure at no charge.
This business has been family owned and operated since its inception, and offers a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to do the same. While there are many businesses that claim to be “turn key,” this one is the real thing!

Market Competition and Expansion:
This business has one local, independent competitor that is relatively new to the area and produces a smaller publication. This magazine is the market leader in its category.

While no particular skills are required to run this business, a background in advertising sales and marketing would be helpful in taking this business to the next level.
Reason for Selling:
Moving out of state.
