Advertise With Us
Corvette is the ultimate resource for Corvette enthusiasts. Our readers don’t just peruse each issue but study and absorb the advertising along with the editorial. Corvette caters to this hard-core enthusiast by presenting editorial material with a strong technical orientation.
Our reader is a hands-on enthusiast who is dedicated to his Corvette and is interested in products that enhance his car both cosmetically and mechanically. The advertising constitutes a vital part of the magazine as it provides the reader with access to the newest parts at competitive prices.
We have purposely kept advertising rates low to make this medium accessible to large and small Corvette suppliers. This insures an active marketplace for Corvette parts and supplies that provides you with a source of buyers who will continue to purchase on a regular basis.
Because the content of Corvette is so focused, each reader is a potential buyer for your Corvette-related products. It goes without saying that the average Corvette owner has the ability and the inclination to buy these products.
Not only will your ad in Corvette get strong current exposure, but the message of your ad will endure- 94% of our readers save their copies of Corvette for future reference.
