PugetSoundMagazine.com functions as an ambassador to the four million people living in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, some of who know very little about what’s out beyond the shores of Seattle’s waterfront. PugetSoundMagazine.com provides an easy way to reach people in need of relaxation, excitement, solace, adventure, kinship and inspiration. Answering the call for a targeted and cost effective northwest waterfront media channel, PugetSoundMagazine.com provides a unique and localized high-value venue for online marketing needs. The magazine is committed to building the most comprehensive marketing communication channel for the water-centric communities of the Pacific Northwest.
“Puget Sound” is recognized by the majority of residents in the greater Seattle metropolitan area. Most of who surprisingly know little about the communities outside of the urban sprawl surrounding Seattle. In an informal survey, it was revealed that the vast majority of Seattle area residents did not know where places like Port Townsend, Coupeville, Friday Harbor, or Ganges were located. Most had never been to the San Juan Islands, Victoria, Whidbey or South Puget Sound. Yet, most of these people have ventured to far away places like Hawaii, Florida, Southern California, and Mexico.
The target demographic is men and women who enjoy an active lifestyle in the ambiance of the Pacific Northwest. PugetSoundMagazine.com promotional efforts reach out to (but not limited to) 35-65 year old, college educated, residents of King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. A growing percentage of PugetSoundMagazine.com reach extends to the rest of the world via Internet search engines and travel directories to provide website visitors with a single resource for planning their water-centric trips and activities along the shores of the greater Puget Sound and Salish Sea.
PugetSoundMagazine.com recognizes that many people living in the Northwest are drawn to the romance and wonder of water. The essence of a traditional water connection is still present here, just not as obvious as it once was. Puget Sound Magazine is about reviving and strengthening the notion of a collective water-centric theme between the communities along the shores of Puget Sound and British Columbia. Through a collaborative effort we will build mind share and foster a branded desire for water-centric vacationing, lifestyle and exploration of the Pacific Northwest.
PugetSoundMagazine.com quarterly print magazine will be direct mailed to over 20,000 qualified local residents subscribing to PugetSoundMagazine.com in 2010.
