Digital advertising and online opportunities further extend your reach, providing additional ways to keep your business visible throughout the year.

Distribution

As one of the largest national publications serving the natural living community, Natural Awakenings reaches millions of readers each month who are interested in healthy and sustainable living. Few locally focused publications can match the brand recognition and trusted reputation Natural Awakenings has built across North America.

Our free monthly Natural Awakenings Chicago print edition reaches readers throughout Chicagoland, including the city of Chicago and suburban Cook, Lake, McHenry and DuPage counties. Our digital edition extends that reach even farther, connecting with readers across the country and around the world.

Our distributors and local business partners regularly tell us that Natural Awakenings is often the first publication readers pick up when displayed alongside other magazines. Even more important, readers frequently keep each issue throughout the month and refer back to it again and again, giving your advertising message a much longer shelf life than a daily or weekly publication.

The U.S. wellness marketplace exceeds $2 trillion annually* and continues to grow, reflecting increasing consumer demand for products, services and businesses that support healthier, more sustainable lifestyles. Our readers are part of this engaged and expanding marketplace, actively seeking practitioners, products, services and organizations that help them live healthier, more balanced lives.
