About Town Magazine | Birmingham's Social Scene

Advertising With About Town Magazine

Jamie Cawood Woodrow Hall | About Town Magazine “Right after our first ad for Woodrow Hall ran in About Town we received roughly 10 phone calls who specifically mentioned seeing the ad in About Town. There’s no doubt about it – About Town works, and has been well worth our investment.”
Jamie Cawood – Partner, Woodrow Hall
Barton Clay Jewelers Testimonial for About Town Magazine ”About Town magazine is the best way to reach our sophisticated and upscale clientele. We’ve had more response and more comments from advertising in About Town than any other publication.”
Shawn McClain- Manager, Barton-Clay Fine Jewelers
Mobley testimonial for About Town Magazine “A couple of months ago, Mobley & Sons introduced a hard-to-find brand in the Birmingham area- Vineyard Vines. Just days after running our first ad in About Town, we had customers coming in looking for the brand, and saying they’d seen our ad in About Town.”
Hunt Mobley- Manager, Mobley & Sons
Greens testimonial for About Town Magazine “Southwest Greens installs synthetic putting greens and looks to reach a predominately male audience. I’m happy to say that shortly after our ad ran in About Town we sold a large green to a gentleman who saw our ad in the magazine.”
Andrew Capstickdale- Manager, Southwest Greens of Birmingham
Urbanscapes testimonial for About Town Magazine “We were advertising in the Yellow Pages before About Town. The difference has been night and day. Not only are we getting far more calls, the calls are coming from the kind of potential clients we target.”
Andrew Morrow- President, Urbanscapes
“We’re a distribution point for About Town as well as other publications. But, unlike other publications, our clients come in asking for About Town by name. It has been phenomenally popular. We have had a hard time keeping it stocked because they get picked up so fast.”
Ron Mitchell- Manager, Piggly Wiggly (Crestline Village)
“When we were looking to bring awareness to an Arthritis Foundation fundraiser, I immediately thought of About Town. Everywhere I go, people are talking about About Town! It’s the magazine that my friends and I always want to see first. We turn every page methodically! It’s not only the magazine people want to see, but be seen in as well.”
Blair Newman- Development Director, Arthritis Foundation

Birmingham Advertising That Works | About Town Magazine

1. About Town is a one of a kind. Currently, About Town has no significant competition in the Birmingham market.

2. About Town can boast an amazing pick-up rate. Simply place a copy of About Town next to any other publication, and watch which one is picked up first.

3. Unrivaled viewer scrutiny of each page – unlike other magazines that are thumbed through, and skipped over, About Town readers make sure each page is thoroughly examined. This presents the advertiser with the assurance their message is not passed over.

4. About Town is not just read, but talked about and passed around as well, for being THE social scene magazine that people want to see and be seen in.

5. Paper stock and format. About Town is printed on over sized high-gloss paper stock. A great format for the more discriminating advertiser.

6. Targeted Distribution – About Town prides itself on reaching Birmingham’s most active and affluent consumers.

7. A great value. Introductory rates mean a price significantly lower than rival local buys. Coupled with a far greater public interest, mean there’s no better local print buy.
