The Power of Print

At City Lifestyle, community magazines are thriving. Serving as a positive voice for communities and a marketing tool for local businesses, print magazines offer benefits that digital can't fully replicate.

Ask us anything.

Owning a City Lifestyle magazine is a life-changing opportunity, and we want you to be prepared. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.
Is print even still relevant?
While checkout aisle magazines are passé, a hyper-local, luxury lifestyle magazine can offer a unique and valuable experience for readers who appreciate high-quality content, exclusivity, and a tangible connection to their local community. In a digital time where online content can feel overwhelming and impersonal, a luxury print magazine can stand out as a curated and immersive experience that continues to hold relevance and appeal. This is evident in our 82% read rate, which captivates over 6.5 million readers every month.
There's another magazine in my area. What sets City Lifestyle apart?
While there may be other magazines around, City Lifestyle stands out in several key ways.

Our commitment to quality. Printed on premium paper, our expertly designed and crafted magazine is a luxurious addition to any coffee table.
‍
Unparalleled content. We offer hyper-local coverage, delving into the luxurious lifestyle of the community while serving as a beacon of positivity for families.

Our distribution strategy. 7,000 copies are directly mailed each month to affluent households within the community, guaranteeing maximum exposure and engagement.
What if I don't have any publishing experience?
No problem! At City Lifestyle, we're dedicated to nurturing high-performing individuals like you. In fact, some of our most successful publishers come from backgrounds like restaurant ownership, healthcare, television reporting, and corporate sales.

Our comprehensive training program covers all facets of advertisement sales and publishing, ensuring you're equipped for success. We start with online and in-person training sessions. From there, you'll be paired with a dedicated launch coach for continued guidance and support.  
I've never owned a business before. How will I be successful?
Joining us means you're in business for yourself, but never by yourself. It's a true partnership where publishers benefit from full corporate support. We take care of the heavy lifting, managing printing and distribution seamlessly. Our expert design team ensures professional layouts, stunning ad designs, and smooth website management. With a custom CRM platform at your fingertips, client acquisition is streamlined and effortless. Plus, our national support team is always here to assist you. It's a proven turnkey business opportunity designed for your success.
Why do I pay you a franchise fee?
Paying a franchise fee grants you access to a proven business model, established brand recognition, ongoing support, and valuable resources that help set you up for success. This fee contributes to the initial investment required to start your business, covering expenses such as training, marketing materials, and operational support provided by the franchisor. In return, you benefit from a ready-made framework, guidance, and assistance that can significantly increase your chances of thriving in your chosen industry.
