Step 1: We craft premium content

From the moment you begin working with us, we make it a collaborative and exciting journey. Our expert team partners with you to create a feature that tells your story in a way that truly resonates—premium content designed to be cherished and read for years to come.

What makes this process special is the personal touch. Our managing editor, Shari Hall, will personally interview you, ensuring your voice and vision are at the heart of the story. With Shari leading the way, our talented team will craft a beautifully designed article and ad that reflects your expertise and brand.

You’ll have final approval, and the best part? You co-own the content. This means you can share your feature, ad, and photos across your website, social media, and beyond—forever.

Step 2 - We hand-deliver the magazine

Our magazine is hand-delivered to thousands of high-traffic commercial locations across the Sunshine Coast, from Pomona to Beerwah, ensuring your content reaches the right audience.

Each delivery is done thoughtfully, with every magazine placed only after receiving permission from the venue, so your feature lands where locals engage in business, health, and well-being. Our targeted approach means Matters Magazine is found in key locations—Sunshine Coast hospitals, allied health centres, barbershops, salons, cafes, restaurants, office buildings, and more.

We track all deliveries and provide a detailed address list to give you complete visibility. If you know of a business or venue that would benefit from receiving the magazine, they can easily join our delivery list by completing an expression of interest form.

Step 3 - We launch the magazine.

We kick off each issue with an exclusive launch event, bringing together over 90 business professionals to celebrate in style. As part of the experience, you’ll receive two complimentary tickets to network with fellow advertisers and members of the broader Sunshine Coast business community.

The event offers more than just mingling—it’s a true celebration featuring live music, red-carpet photos, inspiring speakers, and high-quality food and beverages.

In addition to the launch event, Matters Magazine is shared at various business events across the Sunshine Coast, including BNI, Bx, chamber gatherings, industry conferences, and expos, extending the reach and visibility of your feature. The magazine is advertised with our radio partner, 91.1 Hot FM.

Step 4: We go digital, content lives on forever!

Your feature goes beyond print—Matters Magazine is published on Issuu, a global platform for digital magazines. Your story is showcased on our directory website and mobile app, providing further exposure.

As part of our partnership, you’ll receive a comprehensive advertiser kit, including social media tiles, digital copies of your feature, 'As Featured in' branding materials, embed codes for your website, and a step-by-step guide on maximising the feature’s impact.

We extend your reach through social media, tagging you in posts across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and our email newsletter. This allows you to effortlessly share your feature with your audience and amplify your brand's visibility.

We track every QR code scan from the magazine and implement UTM tracking for weblinks, sharing engagement data with you to measure success.

With four months between each issue, we have plenty of time to promote your feature and business to our audiences actively, ensuring consistent visibility and advocacy for your brand.

Most advertisers see a return on investment with just one sale, thanks to the premium content, distribution, and ongoing promotional support we provide.
