readers
Ray targets people who strive to become a success in all aspects of life. This entails living in this world as role models with spiritual and material achievement, fully engaged and in touch and in tune with the moral demands of our times. Our readers are more mature and have achieved a level of affluence, yet we also allow for younger readers still searching for guidance and role models in making their own way in the world. Both genders find our content valuable. Our magazine draws individuals and families, yet is by no means exclusive to them, as our interesting content mix and beautiful design speak to the spirit, soul and mind of our readers. Ray reaches an estimated target audience of 200,000 readers through a variety of channels. Ray is available on newsstand at Exclusive Books, CNA and CUM Books Stores. Several travel agencies carry Ray in order to promote their destinations through our features. Ray Magazine is also on all outgoing Emirates Airlines flights from South Africa, with an estimated 150,000 passengers per month. Our bulk distribution through a variety of Christian networks and local parishes keep expanding, and Ray Magazine sends several thousands of each edition to networks in Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, the Ivory Coast and Zimbabwe. Processes are in place for Ray to be distributed in Europe. The easiest way though to get your copy is to subscribe, as many readers do.
