Getting Ready to Roll...

It's been a crazy, warm and busy summer for everyone, including me...and it's time to settle down and get back to the nitty gritty... I'll begin by updating you on what exciting things are going on at SNEWoman and it's Signature Event Series:

The next (GORGEOUS) issue of SNEWoman will be the September-December issue. Such an exciting time with tons of great things going on and the best time to promote products and services for fall, back to school, holiday events, holiday shopping and gift certificates sales, new year resolution programs, the beginning of the 2011 bridal season and so much more. Proudly, the new issue is bigger and the editorial content spectacular! For those of you who are interested in advertising, you can be in SNEWoman for about $100 a month. 20,000 copies and a 3.4 readership means approximately 70,000 readers looking at your ad every issue. We are all still excited that the Premiere Issue continues to receive such positive feedback from other media outlets, readers and advertisers and we can't thank you enough. Recently, SNEWoman had some great press in the Warwick Beacon, Cranston Herald and Johnston Sunrise.

Getting ready for the next issue and where to find yours

Getting excited about the next issue of SNEWoman which is getting ready for an August launch. The popularity of the first issue was an burst of joy for us. Obviously, we filled a particular gap that had been missing for a long time and did it with a high quality product.
I, personally, am honored to be a part of SNEWoman pubication and event series and have been heartwarmed to hear some of the wonderful comments made by readers and advertisers about the Premiere Issue.

We personally delivered 20,000 copies to over 750 locations, events and trade shows during May and June. Hopefully you were able to pick up a complimentary copy or at least read one at your local doctor, dentist or professional office. If you haven't seen one yet, try some of these high traffic establishments; Walgreens locations (at the beauty counter), Twin Oaks Restaurant, Post Office Cafe, Eden XO Salon, Venda Ravioli, Festival Ballet, Curves, Seven Stars Bakeries, local hotels, hospitals, weight loss centers, and financial institutions just to name a few.

You are going to LOVE the articles that have been chosen for print and the
"What We ABSOLUTELY Love" products are "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS"!

Here is a hint on some of the topics coming up. Ask yourself these questions...
How much sleep do you need to function? How much do you really get?
Who are your "FAB FIVE" go to people? What are their functions?
Do you wear a "SUPERWOMAN" mask - Try to be everything to everyone?
How do those "do it all" ways affect "you" physically and mentally?
Have you learned how to Twitter and post to Facebook and LinkedIn to
create a more lucrative network and build a stronger personal brand?
What can you do to consume less, spend less and create a more minimalistic lifestyle?

How many of us can relate to some of those topics?
I myself wear that "Superwoman" mask everyday and it is one of the most eye opening articles in the issue. Besides great content, you will see photos from the Premiere Launch Gala and SNE Women's Expo. Two amazing events!

We've highlighted some gorgeous local vineyards in the upcoming issue and complimented it's content with stunning photography. If you haven't recently visited a local vineyard, you'll be getting your day planner to schedule one soon.

In the meantime, we hope you are enjoying a beautiful summer with family and friends, taking advantage of some of the local beaches, summer hot spots and most importantly taking some time for "YOU"!

Best,
Pat
