Welcome
Wednesday, 26 March 2008
ifestyle farmers should keep a close eye on their letterbox. A new monthly publication is about to appear in it, bringing a comprehensive range of information, tips, and advertising aimed entirely at the Lifestyle Farmer (up to 100 acres). Best of all, it will be absolutely free.
Unlike many publications who consider small rural holdings “toy” or “pretend” farms, Rural Living takes this rapidly growing sector very seriously. Modelled on BMP’s already successful business papers, Business to Business, Manukau Focus, and North Shore Focus, Rural Living aims to fill a gap in the market, bringing solid, well written, editorial alongside strong, relevant advertorial to Auckland and Northland region.
Rural Living aims to make its mark by covering a wide variety of topics from animal rearing and pasture management to day to day living in a rural community – everything, in fact, a lifestyle farmer could need to know.
Take this opportunity to get in front of high disposable income clients in a niche sector and being associated with a high quality product that aims to become THE monthly handbook for rural lifestylers.

IF YOU HAVE ADVERTISING QUERIES:
Rachel Watts – Advertising Executive – The lifelong townie of the team, Rachel has worked in sales since leaving school. A lack of rural experience has not put Rachel off her task of securing advertising for Rural Living, even if it has not tempted her to exchange supermarket milk for the fresh from the cow variety. Rachel and her husband Jason enjoy boating while they await the arrival of their first child.
