​St. Johns Magazine is
​Distributed to a Targeted Market

Distribution to a curated mailing list based on location, home values, income level, and other demographic metrics giving advertisers access to their ideal client. 

It is a Physical Experience

People interact directly and physically with SJM. Printed locally and distributed in Northern St. Johns since 2012, we have robust brand recognition. People are accustomed to seeing the magazine in their homes and rely on it to access local information. Magazine readers take their time and linger when SJM, enjoying the tactile experience of the magazine. They also fully interact with the content, including the ads inside.

Local People Trust
​Local Print Ads

Unlike the internet, where consumers interact primarily with a hefty dose of skepticism, seeing a print ad provides a sense of reliability for the reader. And as a small business, if you are running print ads and digital ads, you are getting double reinforcement of your legitimacy.

It Last Longer in Homes

Online digital ads come and go; print ads are always present. SJM left in a medical office or local business will be read, reread, and perused by countless  people for many months. And the people that are reading your ad are local to you.

Credibility, Recognition,
Brand loyalty
​
​Seeing your ad or article in SJM, locals become familiar with your company. The longer you advertise here, the stronger and more entrenched the brand recognition.

Publisher - Debbie Gaylord

Hello

Life has an incredible way of leading us to where we’re meant to be. With a background in history and a career spanning teaching, journalism, and communications, I never imagined becoming a graphic designer and publisher—but every step along the way prepared me for this journey.

My passion has always been storytelling and connecting with people. In 2012, after moving to St. Johns, I turned that passion into St. Johns Magazine—a vibrant, full-color publication designed to spotlight our community and help local businesses succeed. Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of small businesses reach their marketing goals through creative storytelling, design, and strategic promotion.
​
I love working with local entrepreneurs to craft compelling messages that get them noticed and, most importantly, build meaningful connections with their audience. Let’s share your story and help your business thrive!

OUR STORY

Our Philosophy 
​Advertising is an Art

There are a lot of great technicians in advertising. And unfortunately they talk the best game. They know all the rules. They can tell you that people in an ad will get you greater readership. They can tell you that a sentence should be this short or that long. They can tell you that body copy should be broken up for easier reading. They can give you fact after fact after fact. They are the scientists of advertising. But there’s one little rub. Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art.
