Advertising Space

Christian Life Resources publishes two versions of its magazine, Clearly Caring. The Home edition (CC-H) is a free publication mailed directly to about 16,000 homes. Recipients with a track record in their support of the ministries of Christian Life Resources and/or New Beginnings - A Home for Mothers receive this Home edition. CC-H measures 6" x 10.5" and is published twice per year as a 32-page magazine that also includes advertising for Family Treasures and Gifts, the on-site Christian Life Resources gift store. For purposes of establishing advertising rates we consider this 100% readership.

The Parish edition (CC-P) is smaller, measuring 5.5" x 8.5", and is published four times per year as an 8-page bulletin insert for the Sunday worship service folder. It also contains advertising for Family Treasures and Gifts. Though CC-P is provided free of charge, congregations must subscribe in order to receive it. Congregations vary as to distribution. Christian Life Resources prints approximately 69,000 copies of each edition of CC-P with a calculated readership of 30% which is used to establish readership rates.
