Distribution Beta
Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine(KMC) employs a unique circulation strategy formulated to
ensure the magazine achieves both a geographically widespread and highly targeted readership.
Our reader is fascinated by mountains and has some sort of relationship with southern British
Columbia. Our goal is to make it very easy for that person to come across our magazine and take
it home with them.
The magazine is free, has a print run of 12,500 per issue (two issues per year) and is circulated
through key points in the Pacific Northwest. Outdoor retail shops, resorts, and backcountry operators throughout southern BC see the bulk of our distribution. Because the publication is free, has
high production values and is one of the only magazines with regional content, KMCis often showcased in stands on the front retail desk and displayed in storefront windows. Many shops from
Whistler through to Calgary claim readers actually enter the store to pick up a copy. We are not
distributed in Wal Mart, nor do we compete for the reader’s attention on newsstands.
At backcountry operations like Canadian Mountain Holidays (who distribute nearly 1,000 issues
per season), Selkirk Wilderness Cat Skiing and Baldface Lodge, owners often give a copy of the
magazine to clients as gifts. Over 4,000 magazines per issue are distributed in this manner.
Because many of these clients travel from abroad to recreate in BC, KMC accesses readers from
all over the world.
For those who wish to ensure their copy of KMC (at certain stores, like Nelson’s Valhalla Pure
Outfitters, whole boxes of magazines can sometimes be devoured in a single day) we sell subscriptions. As a result of our unique distribution strategy, we have developed a robust international
subscription base. We currently have subscribers from all over Canada, in 22 different states, and
in countries like Australia, Switzerland, Germany, UK, New Zealand, Japan...even Iran.
