The WC Press has been West Chester’s favorite resource for learning about people, events and businesses in the local community since we launched in 2012. We pride ourselves on introducing our readers to their next favorite restaurant, non-profit, or artist, and we’re able to do all this thanks to the support of our advertisers. Their sponsorship makes it possible for us to do what we do, and in return they get access valuable marketing opportunities: advertising, editorial coverage, social media promotions and more. To find out some more specifics about advertising in The WC Press, consult this page or reach out to us today!
West Chester comes alive as the weather warms, and we’re featuring the can’t-miss events & entertainment.

How do you determine your advertising rates?
The good news is, yes, we offer lots of discounts! (We know that’s what you were getting at, right?) Your rates are determined by both the length of your commitment and your method of payment. Every six months you commit to, you’ll save 12.5% per ad. Give us a credit card to automatically charge each month; save 15%. Wanna be a baller and pay for the duration of your contract up front? Boom—save 25%!
How many magazines do you print?
We print 5,000 copies. To put that in perspective: imagine two very big pallets, covered in magazines, stacked chest high.

Most of our readers live in the 19380 and 19382 zip codes and are between the ages of 25-50. Of course, we also ship a few dozen magazines to our grandmothers’ retirement communities in Florida every month—they’re our most dedicated readers.
How many people does your magazine reach?
According to Wikipedia, the borough of West Chester is home to 18,461 people. That’s roughly 1,500 people FEWER than the number who read our magazine any given month. (Short Answer: around 20,000 people)

Designing your own ad?
All advertising packages in The WC Press include one complimentary design. So, if you don’t have access to a professional designer, it doesn’t matter! We’ll work with you to develop your ad from concept to proof and we await your approval on the final design before anything is printed. You’re welcome to make simple changes to your ad every month, (changing dates, swapping a picture, etc) but there will be an additional $50 charge for each new ad design. If you think you’re interested in having us design a brand new ad for your every month, we suggest you opt into what we call The Design Package, which includes unlimited ad changes, for a 10% upcharge on the total cost of your advertising. You simply elect into the package when you sign up to advertise.
Below are some ads we’ve designed (for FREE!) for clients just like you:
“We jumped on board with The WC Press when they published their first issue. These guys had something special from the start and a vision to see their publication reach our whole community… mission accomplished! We enjoy working with their creative team, from advertising to social media; we’re able to reach more customers through a broader spectrum of advertising.”
“The WC Press has been an incredible marketing partner for us. What makes them so powerful is that they are a member of our community and know the market like no other resource. We trusted them to develop and maintain our brand, and we couldn’t be happier.”
“We have been working with the team at The WC Press for years now and have been extremely happy with the process and results. They are very knowledgeable, helpful and professional with everything from advertising, to web design, to social media. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to ramp up their marketing plans for the year!”
