Reaching rural and suburban travel and adventure in Missouri planners just got easier. If you want to attract visitors to your destination, event, or attraction, The Rural Agency and Rural Missouri magazine have created a cost-effective, high-impact advertising opportunity—and it’s as simple as one inch of text.
Introducing: Small Ads to Big Audiences
This exclusive opportunity allows tourism and attraction marketers to place one-inch, text-only ads on a special Tourism Spotlight page in Rural Missouri magazine, reaching 1.5 million engaged, high-income, travel-ready readers every month—for $300 per month (prepaid required).
Why Rural Missouri?
Rural Missouri’s readers aren’t just daydreaming about their next trip—they are actively planning and spending. Here’s why they are the perfect audience for your attraction:
- Affluent & Ready to Travel – A significant portion of readers earn above the national median income and are in a strong financial position to spend on leisure activities. $96,000+ AHI!
- Frequent Travelers – Readers report traveling often, with 78% taking multiple in-state leisure trips each year and 53% spent more than $3000 on those trips!
- Action-Takers – More than 85% of readers say they’ve taken action—visited a business, purchased a product, or planned a trip—because of something they saw in the magazine.
What’s Included?
Each one-inch ad ($300 per month, prepaid) is text-only and placed within a dedicated Tourism Spotlight section of Rural Missouri. The package also includes:
- An Organic Social Media Post – A branded graphic promoting your attraction will be shared on Rural Missouri’s Facebook and Instagram (labeled as an ad).
- Statewide Promotion Map – Your location will be highlighted on a Missouri map featured on the same page, making it easy for readers to plan their trip.
- Events Calendar Listing – If your ad is promoting an event, it will be included in Rural Missouri’s widely-read event calendar.
- Copy and Basic Graphic Design Assistance – The Rural Agency can assist with writing your ad copy and creating a simple graphic for your social media post at no additional charge.
