Special Advertising Opportunity
Mountain Life Publishing Inc.
MOUNTAIN LIFE MAGAZINE AND BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT TO PARTNER ON SPECIAL ISSUE
Blue Mountain Resort and Mountain Life Magazine will partner on a special fall issue of Mountain Life which will be distributed to 4000 of Blue Mountain’s best customers.
Blue Mountain and ML have always been closely affiliated and we're thrilled to advance our partnership," says Glen Harris, Publisher of Mountain Life. Editorial integrity and quality production value are two of the main reasons for the move. "I expect our advertisers will be thrilled with this news as well," Harris adds. “It is our hope that this special issue will further engage our guests in the Blue Mountain experience by entertaining them with information and stories about our rich history and area attractions” says Paul Pinchbeck, Director, Marketing for Blue Mountain Resort.
It is a huge step for Mountain Life, the definitive outdoor lifestyle magazine in Southern Georgian Bay. ML speaks directly to people riding the chairlifts and can be picked up throughout Southern Georgian Bay including various Blue Mountain locations, all the hotels, selected shops, and in-room at the Westin Trillium House. Combined with the new mail-out agreement, there’s no better-targeted publication for advertisers seeking the lifestyle and outdoor recreation markets that brought us all here.
"We're focused on what we're good at,” says Harris. “Our readers appreciate this and it makes us proud. Advertisers have another reason to pick us as their one-stop marketing venue for print, web, and resort mapping."
For those not currently advertising with Mountain Life, you still have time. Book your space now and ask about a special rate on space in both Fall and Winter issues.
