I?m seeking names, street addresses and, where available, e-mail
addresses for print advertising buyers or ad syndicators - people who
could be approached with a pitch to buy ad space in our magazine.

Here is the basic information you need to know what advertisers might
be appropriate.

Small Town Life Magazine, is an established 10,000+ circulation (half
donated to nursing homes, veteran?s hospitals, hospitals, and doctor?s
offices) good-news publication with a spiritual, pastoral (as in
rural), small town, but definitely non-denominational viewpoint. It is
published six times per year.

STLM only carries happy, uplifting, or otherwise ?nice? stories and
includes regular NASCAR and small farm/homestead stories with lots of
animal stories and articles about unique small business, especially
female owned business successes and recipes - essentially anything
wholesome and good about living in rural/small town USA.

Subscriptions are now available through Amazon.com and it is moving to
national distribution so we are looking for regional or national
advertisers such as drug companies, retirement planning, hobby
companies, vitamin companies, health food, insurance, country crafts,
organic gardening, seed companies, and etc. We already have local ad
sales reps.

Those are the kinds of contacts I?m seeking.

No tobacco, liquor, or work at home ?scam? advertisements will be
accepted but legit businesses are fine.

It is based in Punxsutawney, PA (Groundhog Day) and Indiana, PA (home
of Jimmey Stewart) so there is considerable interest in the
publication going national and there are even international
subscribers.

Hi siliconsamurai,

You did pin point correctly the proabable advertisers for a rural magazine.
Half the job is well done there. Here is some links which would give
you the addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses of the
following categories. Although not exhaustive, this would be a good
start to making lists.
