We've negotiated a discounted rate for merchants to advertise in the Oct issue in the spotlight on Old Town section. Say that you are a HOTA member for a discount on the ad.

Here is a letter from the publishing coordinator.

Dear Old Town Businesses,

I am excited to introduce Albuquerque The Magazine's Get To Know Old Town Special advertising section in our upcoming October issue. This special advertising section is dedicated to recognizing businesses in the Old Town area who have stood out and want to be highlighted in one of our biggest issues this Fall.

This initiative provides a wonderful opportunity for organizations to publicly celebrate Old Town as well as give a little shine to your business and get the exposure it deserves.

This Old Town Advertising section will run 30 days at 50 different distribution points around Albuquerque and is expected to reach 128,000 Albuquerque subscribers and readers (1⁄4 of the entire city population), not

to mention the out of state visitors for Balloon Fiesta.

I would be delighted to discuss how we can feature your outstanding business in this special section. I will reach out to you next week, giving you time to think about being involved in this great opportunity. In the meantime, you can contact me directly if you have any questions.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to join other successful business owners and be the next local Albuquerque the Magazine celebrity!
