nothing comes close
Only one magazine has covered the Greater Palm Springs area for nearly 55 years. Our
award-winning monthly publication, recognized as “California’s Prestige Magazine,” is a perfect reflection
of the special lifestyle of the desert resort communities. Palm Springs Life monthly editorial includes: the
social scene, upcoming events including major golf and tennis tournaments, luxury homes, fine dining,
fashion, travel, the arts and profiles of celebrity and business leaders.
Palm Springs Life readers represent one of the most concentrated wealth pockets in the United States:
66 percent live in the Palm Springs Desert Resort Communities and 34 percent among the affluent enclaves
of Southern California and markets nationwide. The average household income is $377,419 with an average
net worth of $2,742,000. About 30 percent hold board of directors positions and 76 percent hold top
professional and managerial positions.
Not a week goes by that the Palm Springs area goes without mention in the national media. It is the home
to major nationally televised sporting events — among them the Humana Challenge (formerly Bob Hope
Classic), the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Golf Tournament, the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship, and the
BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament.
Palm Springs Life delivers this influential market of trendsetting consumers producing substantive results
for luxury products and services.

advertising that works!
For nearly 55 years, luxury product, services, and real estate advertisers have come to count on
Palm Springs Life to deliver their message to the most influential readers with significant results.
Because Palm Springs Life readers pay to invite the magazine into their home or business at an average
annual subscription rate of nearly $24 (twice the national average for consumer magazines), they have
value of ownership and intimacy with the magazine characteristic with their reading habits: 88% of
subscribers read all four of the last four issues and spent an average of one hour with the magazine,
while 91% rated their experience with the magazine as excellent to good.
The significance of the relationship between readers and Palm Springs Life is one of trust and dependability,
and is distinguished by the fact that advertisers expect and achieve results from consistently addressing
this influential audience.
The vitality of the magazine’s readership — their engagement in life, communities, and families, and the
products and services they use — is determined by its value in the marketplace. The fact that readers are
willing to pay for Palm Springs Life, and on average continue to do so for more than 5 years, is a measure
of their degree of involvement in the region they live. They are willing to pay for respected information
and recommendations to maximize their engagement and experience of life in their community.
Each year, Palm Springs Life organically loses slightly less than one-third of its readership, largely due to
relocation from the area. And each year, Palm Springs Life fully replaces this loss with new readers who
come to the magazine with fresh perspectives and needs to maximize their relationship with their community.
This natural churning of the marketplace creates a progressive quality of readership: a vital infusion
developing new customers while cultivating a substantive renewal amongst existing readers. This
characteristic represents a significant departure from controlled or non-paid readership of other media;
these media hold no organic audience makeup or “buy in.” Rather, they rely on stagnant or artificial,
unrequested readership gained through unauthorized and/or impersonal lists.
The requested, paid makeup of engaged Palm Springs Life readers fuel the dynamic relationship between
the magazine and its audience, and that value, or merit, ensures better results and success for advertisers.
It represents advertising that works.

McCallum Theatre program
Overview
The McCallum Theatre is the desert’s premier performing arts center. Considered the jewel
of the local cultural community, and treasured by its patrons, benefactors and the community
at large, the McCallum draws a wide variety of affluent attendees from the visitor, part-time,
and full-time resident markets.
According to the 2012 Ticket Sales report published by POLLSTAR Magazine, McCallum
Theatre announced they are the highest ranked theater in California and #17 in the world.
(POLLSTAR is the concert industry’s leading trade publication for over twenty-five years).
The McCallum Theatre Program is published three times each year (Fall, Winter, and Spring)
and bound into the October, January, and March editions of Palm Springs Life, and is also
given to every patron of every performance booked by at McCallum Theatre. Your advertising
message will be seen by more than 228,000 patrons and readers who are engaged in the
arts and willing to spend on products and services that enhance their lifestyle.
These two combined audiences of Palm Springs Life readers and theatre patrons represent
the most affluent and actively engaged demographic in the Palm Springs Desert Resorts, and
you can reach both for one efficient and effective price.
