Discounted Ad Rates

Sonoma Magazine is offering discounted advertising in the next two issues for wineries. 

Here is the breakdown:
 
15% discount on print advertising for September’s Harvest issue and November’s Food and Wine issue.
The September Harvest issue will feature the largest circulation (over 50,000 copies) of the year due to insertion into the Sunday Press Democrat on 9/4.
