When I first opened Kobalt Gallery, my advertising budget was split between national and local advertising venues. After tracking results, it became clear that advertising hyper locally with Provincetown Magazine is the most effective way to reach not only Kobalt’s established client base, but new visitors and potential collectors as well. For years Provincetown Magazine has been the “go to” guide for weekly events in Ptown, chock-full with comprehensive articles and information, making it a perfect fit for directing people to my business.

Provincetown Magazine’s stellar reputation, interesting articles and wide distribution makes it the right publication for the Schoolhouse Gallery – its where I want my business to be found. The art gallery guide is always spot on and takes people gallery to gallery by neighborhood with letter perfect information every issue. Provincetown Magazine is where new visitors find me and how I meet new visitors.

Our association with Provincetown Magazine extends back to 1988: a decades-long constancy that is extraordinary in these days of ofttimes fleeting relationships. Provincetown Magazine has always been the go-to guide for visitors and locals to find out what is happening in Provincetown. With Rick’s guidance, and the hard work of Peter who deals with each advertiser, and Rebecca who has made the coverage of the arts and film continue to grow and deepen with each passing year, the Magazine covers all the bases. Their generosity toward local artists and businesses, and support for all things Provincetown really speak volumes to their commitment to this town. We look forward to deepening our relationship with Provincetown Magazine for years to come, and we wish them all great success on our shared journey of promoting the creativity, beauty and soul of this unique town.

Provincetown Magazine has been a vital part of the community long before Rice Polak Gallery opened it's doors in Provincetown. The magazine goes right to the heart of what's important in our town - arts and culture. It is chock full of informative articles and really zeroes in on the arts community. I am especially grateful for the spotlight on individual artists and galleries. Provincetown magazine has always been there for us and we will always be there for it. The staff especially Rick Hines & Rebecca Alvin are a delight to work with.

Provincetown Magazine is a fun read and a great publication! When I first started visiting Ptown, one of the first things I’d do upon arrival was to pick up Provincetown Magazine. Now, years later as a full-time resident, I still reach for the magazine. It is a fabulous resource for all that is going on in town. It mixes interesting and engaging articles with a comprehensive list of all the shows, events, and goings on in town. I advertise my gallery in Provincetown Magazine for one simple reason: The ads work. I have had countless people come in the gallery because they have seen my gallery in the magazine.

For the past 8 years Bakker Gallery has used Provincetown Magazine as our primary source of advertising. They provide the widest audience for our budget. Besides their business-friendly rates they are always generous with features for our gallery, in-depth articles that are essentially free advertising. They also take the time to show their appreciation for our business throughout the season. Sometimes it’s the little ‘thank-you’s’ that make all the difference. They are an integral part of Provincetown, an institution that supports and advocates for the community.

I have advertised with Provincetown Magazine for over 20 years. It continues to be THE go-to periodical for tourists and locals alike. As an advertiser, you simply cannot get a better “bang for your buck” in Provincetown. The magazine’s staff is courteous, helpful, and professional. The advertising rates are more than reasonable and competitive. The articles are timely and informative. The layout and print quality are great. The weekly listings of events and happenings on the outer cape are comprehensive and indispensable. It is free to readers and widely distributed. We will continue to advertise with Provincetown Magazine and highly recommend it to all businesses on the outer cape.

When we first opened our small gallery with our even smaller advertising budget in 2009 there was no question where best to place our marketing resources. Even then people were saying that print was on its way out. Boy, were they wrong and still are. Provincetown Magazine has always been and will always be the place for tourists and locals alike to get the latest info and dish on what is happening in town on a weekly basis during our season. We commend the artistic staff on their creative talents. Our ad rep Peter is always looking out for us to get our ads in on time so we can concentrate on running our business and Steve and Rebecca’s insightful writings on all things artistic and entertaining make for a great print magazine that people still want to and do read. It has been a great opportunity to be part of this iconic publication. Thanks, Rick, for your remarkable contribution to our little town.
