Hartford Magazine
Hartford Magazine Ads, from $1,000 a Page.
The capital region's lifestyle book: restaurants, health, homes and the people of greater Hartford, in the market where 1.1 million radio listeners and a million TV homes overlap. Pages from $1,000.
The average Moffly reader's household earns $1,073,000 a year. That's the coffee table.
The Straight Answer
The capital region's lifestyle pages, priced for the region.
Hartford Magazine covers what the capital region eats, builds and celebrates: dining guides, health features, home stories and the suburban towns from West Hartford to Glastonbury that read them.
It prices like a regional, not a Gold Coast glossy: full pages from about $1,000 buy the same affluent-suburb mailboxes that Hartford's hospitals, restaurants and home firms compete for.
West Hartford to Glastonbury: the magazine's core readership maps to the capital region's wealthiest suburbs.

Questions
Hartford Magazine Questions, Answered Straight.
How much does a Hartford Magazine ad cost?
Full pages start around $1,000 per issue, half pages around $600, and dining or guide-issue adjacency from about $1,500. Annual schedules discount meaningfully, and regional pricing keeps it well under the statewide book.
Who reads Hartford Magazine?
The capital region's lifestyle audience, concentrated in the wealthy western and eastern suburbs: the same households Hartford's restaurants, health systems and home businesses fight over.
Which businesses fit these pages?
Dining and hospitality first, then healthcare, home improvement, real estate, schools and events: the considered purchases of established suburban households.
Hartford Magazine or the town books?
This book buys the whole region's lifestyle context; a City Lifestyle or Seasons edition buys deeper penetration of one suburb. Regional brands start here, single-town businesses start there.
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
