Connecticut Cottages & Gardens
CTC&G Advertising, from $2,500 a Page.
CTC&G is where Connecticut's design money looks: estates, renovations, gardens and the professionals behind them, 11 issues a year. Full pages start around $2,500. Here is the math.
The average Moffly reader's household earns $1,073,000 a year. That's the coffee table.
The Straight Answer
The book the design trade reads and the homeowners keep.
CTC&G publishes 11 issues a year of Connecticut homes, gardens and design through C&G Media Group, whose stable also covers the Hamptons and New York, the same affluent audience across three books.
It is a two-sided readership: homeowners planning projects, and the architects, designers and builders who serve them. Home businesses advertise here to reach both at once.

The Process
How Buying Works
Three steps from budget to live, in plain English.
Time to Project Season
Kitchens sell in winter issues, landscapes in spring. Match your insertions to when readers plan the work you do.
Book the Year
Design readers notice constancy: the firms that appear every issue read as established. Annual schedules earn the discounts.
Let the Work Be the Ad
One finished-project photograph beats any headline in this book. Invest in the shoot; it will outlive the schedule.

Also Asked
How much does magazine advertising cost in Connecticut?
Neighbourhood magazines start around $200 a month, town books around $500, and a half page in a regional glossy from about $600 an issue. Many offer category exclusivity, meaning your competitor cannot appear alongside you. Magazine rates
Do neighbourhood magazines work?
In affluent towns, unusually well. They are mailed free to specific streets, stay in the house for weeks, and often sell category exclusivity so your competitor cannot appear. From about $200 a month, they are one of the few print buys that still makes obvious sense. Neighbourhood magazines
What advertising works best for reaching wealthy Connecticut households?
Regional magazines and precise digital targeting. Greenwich has a median household income of $206,130 and the Moffly titles reach readers averaging over a million. Those towns are small enough to target street by street, which reach-based buying wastes. Moffly Media rates
