Reunions magazine Editorial Profile & Calendar

Editorial Profile

The reunion marketplace is growing and the people who are planning reunions read Reunions magazine. If you are a reunion destination, location, product, vendor and service you’ll want your message in Reunions magazine, where you can recruit reunion consumers.

Reunions magazine is the only periodical/website combo devoted to serving reunion organizers — individuals who are committed to their family, class, military or other group.  The magazine’s goal is to capture, share and, when necessary, create reunion information to help readers and web visitors make informed decisions.  Our readers are eager to learn about reunion locations, activities, entertainment, books, software, cruises or souvenirs and mementos. And they are always looking for specials and bargains for their reunions.

Reunions magazine is reader-driven.  We welcome submissions, suggestions, requests, questions and comments from reunion organizers and those dedicated to helping reunions. We respond with answers, ideas, leads, tips, trends, inspiration, encouragement, motivation and information. As a guide, our publications provide practical information to help readers make better reunion purchasing decisions. We educate, inform and entertain.

www.reunionsmag.com is a strong partner and support to the print magazine. Both have the same goals with the former also offering

      • podcasts of reunion topics to help organizers

      • picture gallery to assure every reunion that wants, can celebrate with their picture online; ask reunions to send pictures under your marquee!

      • forum for reunion discussion by organizers to help them plan their reunions.

Successful reunions are eagerly anticipated and thoroughly prepared events.  They deserve the finest you offer. Reunions are about relationships and reunion organizers want their relationship with you to produce successful reunions.
