Thank you for your interest in the New England McIntosh Growers Association, aka New England Apples. We are a non-profit grower-funded organization charged with promoting New England apples and raising public awareness of varieties that flourish here.Towards this end we publish McIntosh News, a quarterly newsletter filled with current information about the apple industry and its promotion. We report on trends and new products and the association's activities, and provide a forum for our members to share information with each other. Every issue of the newsletter reaches approximately 600 growers, extension and university personnel and associated industry representatives throughout the Northeast.
We concentrate on wholesale growers with sufficient volume of fruit to serve the retail trade either directly or through a shipper. We also have a number of smaller direct-market growers who benefit from our promotional efforts. The vast majority of our members are not large corporations; they are the family owned and operated orchards that have direct need for your products. Advertising in our newsletter gives you unique access to this specific target market.
Our format uses a Mac-based desktop program and black ink on non-coated colored paper stock.
Please supply us with camera ready artwork and copy to fit our standard 8 1/2" x 11" page size in either full (ad size 7.5" x 10"), half (ad size 7.5" x 5"), or quarter page (ad size 4" x 5"), or business card (2"x3.5") segments. The two-sided full page inserts may be provided by you in quantities sufficient for each issue.
We do limited copy and layout work, and this is billed separately depending on the needs of the client.
We encourage you to consider advertising with us. Please note the price savings for multiple ad submissions and our pre-payment discount. Don't miss this opportunity to get your products in front of the growers who have use for them. If you have any questions please call us at 413/253-1200 or e-mail us at info@apples-ne.com
