DISPATCH Supports the Arts & Culture Community

The newspaper—now at 500+ locations and growing—also keeps readers well informed about all the goings-on in the areas’s thriving Arts & Culture scene.

About DISPATCH
An off-shoot of former The Rake Magazine, the long-running digital newsletter Secrets of the City went through many different iterations and is now DISPATCH, an Arts & Culture digest that includes its growing print publication alongside the long-running newsletter and a relaunched website.
Readers stay informed on events—music, art openings, book readings, beer release, and much more—at small and under-covered venues around town, tips on upcoming happenings, tips and tricks for navigating the cities, and other lifestyle information.
About Our Print Reach
Found all over Minneapolis-St.Paul, DISPATCH’s free print publication comes out twice a month—on the 1st and 15th. It’s distributed to a diverse group of locations, from venues and coffee shops to salons and liquor stores. Our current circulation is 10,000 copies with each issue and the copies have also become a hot commodity and many locations!
About Our Digital Reach
We currently land in over a 2,000 inboxes a day! Our primary newsletter list has around 5,000 subscribers on our daily newsletter and we’re around a 25-40% open rate, which is 10-20% higher than the industry average. We even reach 2,500 readers more than once a week! We also have over 4,000 active website users per month, nearly all of whom are in MPLS + STPL.
We currently sell our advertising by the day for our newsletter placement, and you can get the website banners included, too. We don’t list a rate card because we’re flexible on our ad buys and sponsorship packages, and can work with advertisers’ budgets.
About Our Readers
The vast majority of our readers live in MPLS and STPL proper. They use mobile devices as much as they do desktop computers, and they get their info from us from email and social media.
Rates
We want advertisers who are a good fit, so we’re often flexible on our rates. And we especially like it when you book out more than one placement. We can get you into our publication, as well as newsletter and social.
Payment
We’ll send you an invoice for your ads before the first run date. We then require electronic payment within 1-2 days of the first ad running. Since we use PayPal, we accept most major cards. And because it’s electronic payments, you can also pay per ad or for the entire run, it’s up to you! We’ll also send you a proof of performance after each ad run.
