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.

Michael CarrolSchool House Gallery

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.

Francine D'OlimpioKobalt Gallery

Provincetown Magazine is the one publication that I consider essential advertising in Provincetown. I don’t pretend to know the statistics but I feel it’s the most widely read and distributed publication in Provincetown. Not a day goes by that I don’t see someone reading or carrying Provincetown Magazine. The quality of the magazine is top notch and the articles always interesting and the schedule of events and happenings is essential reading. The staff is great, easy to work with and the graphics department does an outstanding job.

Provincetown Magazine has been my go-to resource for decades. First as a visitor, then as a second homeowner, then as a business owner and primary resident, and now as the Executive Director of the Provincetown Business Guild. It's a great publication and resource to get the word out about what's happening in Provincetown and anything Provincetown related.

Bob SanbornFormer Executive Director Provincetown Business Guild

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.

The Mews Restaurant has been a Provincetown Magazine advertiser since circa 1983. Our restaurant has grown and changed with the times over those years and so has Provincetown Magazine with their timely articles and magazine covers that make you want to know more. For us "wanting to know more" means they see and respond to our ad which their staff has been very helpful in discussing and creating. Thanks Provincetown Magazine and Happy 45th !

Provincetown Magazine is a valued partner of The Boatslip and a wonderful resource for all things Provincetown. It helps us build our brand and stay connected with Boatslip regulars and first timers alike. The magazine represents our Town with authentic and interesting content and we greatly appreciate its many contributions and commitment to our community

Terry McCumberGeneral Manager, The Boatslip

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.

Stewart CliffordOwner, Stewart Clifford Gallery

I love the ability to showcase my products in a colorful, glossy nature with Provincetown Magazine. It is the only publication that gives me the reach I need with an ever-changing tourist audience but also reaches my local year-round customers. The staff of the magazine is easy to work with and very responsive to weekly adjustments to my ad. This allows me to promote what’s new or hot without a long lead time. Customers always say “I saw this in Provincetown magazine!” Dennis Lemenager, Owner, Utilities Home Store

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.

Spencer Keaseybakker Gallery

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.

Provincetown Magazine has been an indispensable partner and resource from the time I first started my business eight years ago. Through ads in the magazine I have been able to reach the thousands of visitors who come to Provincetown every season, helping to expand sales and product awareness. In addition, the weekly issues are a great resource for customers looking for entertainment, dining or cultural experiences in town. Provincetown Magazine is not only a great civic resource, but a great corporate citizen in this unique community. John Niblock, owner Hook Provincetown.

Running a non-profit theatre company in the summer is all about marketing and promotion. We set the majority of our advertising budget aside for Provincetown Magazine. Having been in town for almost 20 years we know that this is the one print and online publication that everyone in town picks up on a weekly basis. It is the go-to reading material to know what’s happening all week long and what major shows are events to look forward to. The advertising staff at Ptown Magazine is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and makes sure your company or event is placed in the best possible section to get the most attention. It is a real asset to our community.

Provincetown Magazine is more than just the most informative and relevant publication in P-Town for the last 45 years, it's a critical component of our success at The Pilgrim House. New visitors and old friends to Provincetown can quickly find what's happening at Pilgrim House as well as throughout town. Along with the incredibly insightful, informative and entertaining editorial content, the extensive distribution and brand recognition of Provincetown Magazine makes it the only choice for Pilgrim House advertising. Our guests ask for it by name upon check-in.

Ken HorganOwner, The Pilgim House

Provincetown Magazine is a pleasure to work with. They go above and beyond in designing advertisements to help us reach booklovers. The weekly magazine helps us reach visitors to Ptown & connect with our great Cape Cod customers. It's easy to quickly modify our weekly ads to highlight special events, book events & new book arrivals. Provincetown Magazine helps us reach a broad audience with every issue and online

Provincetown Magazine has always been, and still is, the number 1 guide to all things Provincetown, whether you are a local or a tourist. Provincetown is a remarkably diverse and unique place, with a market that is equally diverse and unique. Provincetown Magazine always has the most descriptive information and up to date coverage of all the arts, entertainment, dining, drinks, and shopping on Cape Cod. You will easily find the type of food and atmosphere you want in a restaurant, art gallery, theater shows, and stores for shopping. Even after 20 years of calling P-Town home, I still cannot live without it. Provincetown Magazine is by far the best media publication to represent Victor’s Restaurant, which is why I have been advertising in there for 14 years.

Victor DepoaloVictors Restaurant

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.

Since the first day we opened our business, Provincetown Magazine has been a long-term partner and advertising source for Gale Force Bikes. The magazine has been an essential tool for the growth of our business and gave us exposure to a broad audience. As a business we depend on a locally owned and operated publication like Provincetown Magazine. I personally love to read it and always look forward to the next issue
