Our Audience
The magazine is targeted toward the fabulous women of Chicago – intelligent, savvy, modern, young, compassionate, empowered, independent, stylish, fun, aware and entrepreneurial. We empower our readers by focusing on the things that matter – their image, mind, body, soul, style, community and sense of purpose. Our readers are women who seek information and make life choices in their purchases and inform their friends and family about what’s new, what’s hot, what matters and what’s interesting.
The Me: in focus target market is comprised of young, empowered, market savvy women, primarily between the core ages of 21-35. As a group of discerning, up & coming, early adopters they are quick to find what works for them and pass on the news to their friends and family at the click of a button and that makes Me: in focus the “go-to-guide” for what’s important, what’s new & hot and what matters in the Chicago market.
Our Stats
Since the launch of our pilot issue in May, we have acquired over 10,500 readers of our magazine’s digital spread, distributed 5100 copies to print readers and subscribers, and developed a faithful following on Twitter, Facebook and our own weekly email newsletter, not to mention the thousands of visitors to our regular online articles. We’re excited about how far we’ve come and how much more we can still grow.
The Power of Women
The ME: IN FOCUS market targets the No. 1 economic segment in America today: Women.
Women are the chief purchasing officers for their household, their workplace and their community. Women comprise the majority of internet users. Seventy-eight percent of women in the US use the Internet for product information before making a purchase and 33% research products and services on-line before buying offline.
Women control most of corporate and small-business spending in the country. Over fifty percent of managers, human resources officers, administrators, corporate and retail buyers in the workforce are women.
Women are the majority bread-winners in over half of U.S households. Single women are the sole earners in 27% of American households. Thirty percent of working wives earn more than their husbands. Women make an estimated 80% of all household buying decisions, including decisions in traditionally “male” categories such as investments, automotive, consumer electronics and home improvement. Over the last 15 years, women entrepreneurs have comprised over 70% of new small business owners in the country.
