I’m going to keep this brief and informative, as I have to run off to shoot beautiful new jewelry for LMD in, oh dear, an hour.

Last night, Mer, Nadya and I amused [and probably horrified] our most excellent project manager, Sam, on the most delirious Coilhouse conference call of the past 6 months . When screeching, cackling and excessive absinthe consumption come into play, you know we’re close to the finish line. That’s right – the editorial for Issue 06 is almost done.

How many of you guys keep up with the magazine, or the Coilhouse blog? I’m going to tell those who don’t about our Small Business Advertising Program, because it’s occurred to me that quite a few of you have an endeavor you might like to promote in print. We developed the SBAP to make wide-scale exposure affordable and accessible to everyone, not just big established companies. From the recent Coilhouse blog post on the topic:

Who’s advertising in Coilhouse?  Increasingly, it’s not just businesses – it’s also artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, designers, art galleries and publications. Take a look at November’s “Support Our Advertisers” blog post, which outlines the 69 participants in Issue 05’s Small Business Advertising Program. It’s an inspiring, eclectic collection of products and people.

See, that’s a bunch of you. And guess what: though we’ve raised all our full-page rates as of 2011, a beautifully-designed ad square in our Small Business Program? Still only $99-149.

So how do you get in?

If you’re new to the advertising in Coilhouse, check our Advertising FAQ. For specifics about our distribution, circulation and pricing, check out our 2011 Media Kit. If you’ve made up your mind to take out an ad, all you need to do in order to get the ball rolling is email our wonderful Ad Manager, Samantha.

And that’s all. I hope some of you find use for this program which we’re pretty proud of. The Coilhouse Small Business Advertising program offers widespread exposure at Borders and Barnes & Noble locations across the U.S. and at tons of other stores, along with exposure to our international patrons, who buy online. It’s a sweet deal.

With that, I’m off!
