EAST

The Boating Magazine for Coastal New England

Why advertise in Points East?

• The most effective tool for reaching boaters in New England both power and sail • A trusted voice • Proven results

Do you want to reach New England boaters?

Then you should be advertising with Points East.

We’ve always believed that our business model – with free distribution at real boater haunts – is the best way to capture the minds and hearts of New England boaters, but this economy has really proven our point. While other, subscription-based magazines find themselves desperately seeking readers, our distribution has grown to more than 700 boater-friendly locations, with an average of 25,000 copies given out; up to 30,000 for some issues. We think Google is right: free is the business model of the future.

Five reasons Points East is the right place for your business

1

We reach New England boaters better than anyone else: power or sail, cruiser, day tripper, or racer.

No other regional publication speaks to this broad readership.

3

Ads in Points East are proven to work.

Advertising effectiveness can sometimes be difficult to measure. But we have the best proof of all that our ads work: More than 60 marine-oriented businesses have been advertising regularly in Points East for more than 10 years! We are obviously working for them. How many other publications can say that?

2

Our editorial voice creates an environment of trust and local intimacy for your advertisement.

We don’t do puff pieces, boat reviews, or destination pieces; readers recognize and respect our independence.

Since our stories are written primarily by other New England boaters, readers can relate to what they see in Points East. We talk about the kind of boating they do.

Our marina listings are accurate.

Our tide tables are local. Our stories are real. A look at our spirited “Letters” section reveals the close bond we’ve developed with our readers.

Points East is an integral part of the New England boating scene Now in our 14th year, Points East has become part of the fabric of New England boating. Your ad in Points East makes you part of this vibrant boating community. So put our local knowledge to work for you.

Winter Lecture Series We’ve partnered with the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, R.I., to bring boaters togther on those cold winter nights to share refreshments and hear from some fascinating speakers. People like John Rousmaniere and Ben Mendlowitz, and this year Capt. Richard Phillips and Herb McCormick, among many others.

Points East Crew Match When a captain needs crew for his or her boat, or when sailors are looking for racing and cruising opportunities, they turn to the Points East Crew Match. Our free listings, which appear online and in printconnect boat owners and crew like no other service. Our Crew Match parties, held in the spring throughout New England, are a huge hit.

“The magazine has a salty New England flavor.

I think you have great article contributors, and you cover the entire New England coastline. You incorporate the old Race and event sponsorship

Yankee spirit in your ar-

Each year we help sponsor a number of high-profile boating events. Our sponsorship includes advertising and often the insertion of the event program in an issue of the magazine. Events have included:

ticles. I spend a lot of

• MS Harborfest • Cape Cod Boat Show • Herreshoff Museum Winter Speaker Series

• Stonington to Boothbay Harbor Lobster Run Ocean Race • PenBay Rendezvous • Winter workshops

time with the magazine.”

“ [I like] Everything! It is so real, down to earth and interesting. I love the cruising stories. The writing's terrific. The boats, the classifieds. I like the editorials, the letters, articles, ads and obituaries. It's all very interesting. Really!�
