The Harmon Advantage
Advertising your listings with Harmon is one of the most cost-effective ways to gain exposure and results for your clients. Harmon offers several distinct advantages you won't find with other traditional advertising mediums or other real estate publications.
Best value
Advertising in Harmon magazines costs just a fraction of what newspapers charge and makes it possible for you to advertise more listings, satisfy more sellers and generate more quality sales leads. It also reaches a more targeted audience, since Harmon magazines are read only by those interested in real estate, so you're not wasting a large portion of your ad dollars.
In fact, the Newspaper Advertising Bureau (NAB) reports that the real estate section is the least-read section of the daily newspaper. That means that most of the dollars spent on newspaper advertising are wasted by reaching thousands of people not interested in real estate. A recent Harmon readership study found that consumers actually prefer Harmon 7 to 1 over newspaper advertising.
Superior distribution
No other free circulation publication has a targeted, nationally recognized, centrally managed distribution system that compares to Harmon's. Much of Harmon's distribution is handled by ADC, Advanced Distributing Company, the nation's leading distributor of free circulation publications. ADC secures high impact distribution in major grocery and retail store chains and bright red street boxes located in most metro areas from coast to coast. In some areas, we use other distribution vendors to enhance our coverage.
Major Broker Services
Promote your listings and enhance your image and visibility to potential buyers, sellers and new sales associates through your own branded magazine.
Image-building layouts
All Harmon ads feature large, image-building banner logos for each advertiser, plus sizable photos and descriptions of each listing. The absence of clutter found in most newspaper classified sections gives Harmon titles a more sophisticated look.
Full-color, high gloss magazine covers attract home buyers and sellers to pick up the magazine. Colorful, glossy covers offer the opportunity to showcase important properties in full color at an affordable price. Plus, Harmon magazines are kept around longer and passed along more often than the newspaper, which is generally discarded after it is read.
