Advertising in Backstreets Magazine
Backstreets
is accepting advertising.
Now having published for a quarter-century, Backstreets magazine has provided the most in-depth coverage of the professional career of Bruce Springsteen, as well as coverage of other related artists from the Jersey Shore and beyond. The quarterly publication has won several awards for its design and editorial coverage, and MTV called it "the standard to which all others are compared." We combine features, commentary, and detailed concert reports with new product news and reviews.
Backstreets has a loyal readership nationwide (all 50 states) and internationally (more than 40 countries). Most readers are subscribers, but the magazine also has broad distribution by Ingram and IPD, from large book and record chains to mom and pop record stores.
While Backstreets magazine itself focuses on Bruce Springsteen, each quarterly issue reaches more than 15,000 hardcore music fans of all stripes (we currently print 17,000 copies). Backstreets readers tend to be well-educated, hardcore music-lovers in general: avid collectors, regular concert-goers, and musicians. Most Backstreets readers read the magazine the day it arrives and save their issues for future reference.
Backstreets
is saddle-stitched and printed web offset with covers on 70 lb. gloss
enamel and interior pages on 50 lb. gloss enamel.
