Advertise Your Business!

South Dakota Magazine is a great opportunity to advertise your business.

Here are some reasons why:

  • Our circulation continues to grow (we have more "paid USPS" subscribers than any publication in South Dakota).

  • Our readers are a unique community of citizens who love and appreciate South Dakota.

  • Our magazines are timeless, so they stay in the home for weeks, sometimes years giving your ad an amazing shelf life.

  • Our staff strives to give South Dakota one of America's great magazines, and our advertisers share in the goodwill and loyal readership we've developed over the past 20-plus years of publishing.

  • Our ad costs "per thousand readers" are competitive with the region's large daily newspapers, and with the nation's top magazines yet advertisers receive a targeted readership of educated, active, middle and upper income people who share a common interest in South Dakota life and culture.
