POWERFUL MAGAZINE DISPLAY ADS

Garage|Shots Magazine provide a hospitable advertising environment where readers are almost as likely to respond to an ad as they are to a feature within the magazine. Garage|Shots readership is generally purchased by upmarket men. Garage|Shots has a distinct individual personality profile which our readers recognize. Our readers follow their creative passions and they seek out products and services to enhance their enjoyment of life. Relevant advertising is valued by this audience, and is consumed with interest. Our readers screen advertisements in much the same way as they screen the editorial - looking for items that interest, intrigue, catch the eye, entertain, and inform.
