The Best Distribution of Your Advertisement
In Southern Ontario, many businesses start with our premium glossy print magazine and extend visibility digitally
The Community Advertising Magazine is the largest and longest-running glossy advertising magazine in Southern Ontario’s ethnic media market. For over 20 years, it has been designed and refined for one purpose: to distribute advertising effectively and make businesses visible to people who are actively looking for services and offers.
It exists to put your advertisement directly into the hands of thousands of purchase-ready readers who intentionally pick it up to browse offers, compare businesses, and decide who to contact.
The magazine includes only light, practical editorial such as shopping guidance, service orientation, and consumer advice that supports advertising rather than distracts from it. No news agendas, no opinion pieces, no noise — just a clean, premium environment where advertising is the main reason readers pick it up and keep it.
In Southern Ontario, the magazine serves as a physical advertising foundation. It can be used independently as a print channel or combined with digital distribution for broader reach. Digital-only placement is available across North America, while print distribution remains intentionally focused on Southern Ontario.
High-intent readership. People pick up this magazine intentionally to browse advertisements, compare offers, and discover services. This makes placement efficient: your advertisement is seen by people who came specifically to look for advertising — not by an audience trying to avoid it.
Unmatched local distribution built over decades. The Community Advertising Magazine has the largest circulation among Russian-speaking publications in Southern Ontario. It is distributed free of charge through attractive racks and stands in more than 100 high-traffic locations, including grocery stores, medical, legal and financial offices, automotive dealerships and service centers, covering areas from Barrie and Sutton down to Hamilton.
Consistent monthly presence. The magazine is printed monthly, with distribution points replenished weekly. This ensures steady visibility throughout the entire month without requiring advertisers to repurchase the same placement every week.
Size matters in print. Larger, clearer advertisements are perceived as more established, more credible, and more trustworthy. Readers instinctively give priority to businesses that present themselves confidently and visibly. Choosing a larger format today is often more affordable than expected, yet significantly more effective — because people tend to contact the businesses that look convincing first.
Print advertising in the Community Advertising Magazine reaches a comparable local audience at a significantly lower cost than search or short-term digital ads. Unlike search listings or promoted posts, your message is not compressed, skipped, or lost in a feed. A magazine placement provides space, clarity, and visual authority comparable to a landing page — without bidding wars or disappearing impressions. Readers spend time with the magazine, revisit it, and keep it nearby — which creates repeated exposure without repeated cost.
The glossy format and premium production quality automatically enhance credibility. Your advertisement appears alongside established businesses in a trusted, luxurious environment that strengthens brand perception and recall.
