Print in focus

 Destination still worth it

We love the latest print job we produced for City of Coffs Harbour – Coffs Coast: Place of Plenty destination tourism magazine! And we love it for a few key reasons…


If you’ve ever brushed off a rep selling ad space in a tourism magazine, you’re not alone. Many Club managers have a 'hard-NO' policy when it comes to paid print features – and in most cases, they’re right to be sceptical. But every now and then a print opportunity comes along that’s worth it and here’s why this concept works:


  • Quality matters. This isn’t a flimsy throwaway. It’s a professionally designed, high-end publication that people actually read – and hang onto.

  • Right place, right audience. It’s distributed across the Coffs Coast and major east coast cities like Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, targeting both tourists and potential future locals.

  • Massive reach. With 50,000 copies in circulation and strong support from local tourism operators, the advertisers’ messages aren’t getting lost in the mix.

  • Long shelf life. It’s packed with a full 12-month events calendar, meaning people keep it for reference - not just a one-and-done flip.



A local destination magazine like this will increase your Club’s visibility and promote its unique offerings to a broader audience, building brand awareness, boosting your Club’s reputation and increasing membership and visitation rates.


Not to mention the opportunities to cross-promote with other businesses and strengthen regional tourism – a win-win in our book!


So next time a tourism rep comes knocking, don’t dismiss it out of hand. Ask the right questions – circulation, audience, distribution points, quality – and consider whether this might be one of the rare print ads that actually works.

WHY PRINT STILL MATTERS...

We get it – print can feel like a big spend in a digital-first world.

But when it’s part of a smart, multi-channel campaign, the right print still pulls its weight.
