Advertisers Praise

“I'm a believer! Sedona Monthly delivers the WIDEST audience in town and CONSISTENTLY delivers SMART,
TARGETED editorial in a BEAUTIFUL package that people love to read. That's why Tlaquepaque has been a
proud advertiser since 2003.”––Wendy Lippman, general manager and managing partner, Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village
“Sedona Monthly brings us BUSINESS and EXPOSURE LOCALLY, NATIONALLY and INTERNATIONALLY.
We recently had clients come in that read about us in Sedona Monthly while waiting at a Sky Club
in JFK Airport in New York. CONSISTENTLY, we ENJOY clients that read Sedona Monthly.
We love Sedona Monthly!”–– Linda Goldenstein, Goldenstein Gallery
“Advertising in Sedona Monthly has been a COST EFFECTIVE way to reach both the LOCAL community
and VISITORS to Sedona. The format is USER FRIENDLY, with INTERESTING articles and great
photography. Many guests and local residents have mentioned that they saw our ad when they came
in to enjoy the resort.”–– Laurie Johnson, Amara Resort Hotel & Spa
"I am THRILLED with the EFFECTIVENESS
of my advertising in Sedona Monthly. From
the very first issue I have been approached
by people who became interested in my
concierge practice after seeing my ad.”
–– Dr. Neil Singer, M.D.
“We so appreciate the SUPPORT that
Sedona Monthly has given us and the local
community. Before we started advertising
with them, they contacted us to borrow
some of our jewelry for a story; after it was
published, we SOLD out of the jewelry they
used and have been advertising with them
ever since.”––Carol Watters, Hoel's Indian Shop
“We’ve been advertising
in Sedona Monthly for five
years and it is the ONLY
publication we
CONSISTENTLY use to
market our galleries. It is a
QUALITY product and has
a TRUSTED distribution
that has tremendously
INCREASED our brand’s
awareness both within the
community and among visitors.
We often see people walk in
with a copy or tell us they saw
it in their hotel room.”
–– Renee Taylor, Renee Taylor Gallery
“Sedona Monthly is the single most EFFECTIVE advertising vehicle I have found in Sedona. Visitors and
residents alike frequently come into the gallery specifically to see an advertised piece and I get calls
from people outside of Sedona who have read the magazine and want more information about the
art in the ad. We can contribute a direct INCREASE in our sales from consistent
advertising in Sedona Monthly.”––Joyice Gere, El Prado Galleries
“I cannot say enough about your WONDERFUL magazine and how HAPPY and PROUD we are to be
a part of it. We have many new customers because of our BEAUTIFUL ad.––Amy Mills, Bliss Extraordinary Floral
“Sedona Monthly is our single BEST form of advertising in Sedona. It not only REACHES the volume of clientele
we seek, but it also reaches the market segment we desire.”––Greg Stevenson, The Hike House
