trueCOWBOYmagazine Advertising Media Kit

Where Rodeo meets rodeo

2011 Media Kit

Innovation and forward thinking has always maintained a lead and an edge.

At tCmag we believe in both and practice what we preach.

Saddle Up! trueCOWBOYmagazine is a bi-monthly, full color, provocative lifestyle magazine with a stated mission to raise awareness of the plight of the wild mustangs & burros in the USA. And some eyebrows, with our beautiful cover models whom we affectionately call our “Buckle Bunnies”.

• trueCOWBOYmagazine is starting an advertising revolution by combining two demographics into one provocative magazine.

We offer three exciting circulation outlets for you: Print, Online and Apple app for iPhone & iPad and are currently developing our app for the Android and Smartphones as well.

Three outlets, one great rate.

• tCmag is a western lifestyle magazine, that not only targets our niche demographic of cowboys and cowgirls, but also includes city slickers, urban cowboys, and readers who are simply just attracted to the lore of the west.

• Our combined demographic has mass appeal and creates huge crossover potential for advertisers. tCmag allows advertisers to reach new audiences and broader markets in a single advertising venue.

• We’re advocates for the wild mustang, no matter what side of the fence you’re on regarding Mustangs, we keep readers up to date with the latest in Mustang and western lifestyle news.

• We appeal to true Cowboys, Cowgirls, horse enthusiasts and the “urban cowboy”. We are glmarous, rugged, sexy and informative.

Mustangs are icons of the west and our living symbols of freedom. A portion of our proceeds support www.ispmb.org

The publishing industry has gone “viral” with digital online and app publishing and experienced an exponential rapid rise of over 372% since 2007*. This format continues to climb the charts with the daily advancement of technology. It makes great sense economically for both advertisers and publishers as digital publishing enjoys international circulation without the cost of printing, distribution and fuel surcharges, lower ad costs, and naturally, the green effect. With digital publishing there exists the increasing valued asset of global eblasted circulation, global key word search engine circulation, “live” ad commercials, archived back issues, and email forwarding to friends and potential clients, all at enormous savings passed on to you, the advertisers. Another outstanding advantage of digital publishing is hot-linked ads, web-addresses and contacts linked directly back to your websites to drive traffic instantly to your websites, or called right from your ad page, for potentially increased sales. A very strong asset unique to this format making it a leader over print supplementing it.

We service our 25,000 member database directly along with our social networking presence on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, In addition to the myriad of social “internet-worked” western lifestyle sites. We offer SEO circulation and service over 200 global search engines.

Whether you prefer to sit down with a cup of coffee and a traditional glossy magazine or are the techy-type that likes to peruse via your computer or hand-held device, tCmag is hard to beat and even harder to put down! *Gilbran Digital Reporting
