The Jersey Sierran: Information for Advertisers

Circulation: The Jersey Sierran is mailed to all Sierra Club members in New Jersey. Currently there are over 20,000 members. In addition, copies are mailed to individuals in the broadcast and the print media, as well as to the other environmental groups. Copies are also often distributed free at shops that sell camping gear and handed out at tables set up at major events such as Earth Day Festivals and regional festivals. Since the Sierran contains an extensive list of outings, ads are likely to be examined by most serious outdoor enthusiasts in NJ.

Some 94% attended college, with 76% now engaged in professional, managerial or technical positions. Household income averages $79,400, with a median of $59,400.

Outdoor adventure and travel are integral parts of their lives. Healthy living counts among their important concerns. Responsible lifestyles at home are also of concern and, as leaders, they have a clear influential impact in their community.
