Have we got a lot to discuss! It's so exciting that I am hoping you can feel all this too! I have so many things to offer you this month!
Can you believe it is August already?? Where is the year going? Now is the time to hop on board with us at Sacandaga Digest/T.H.I.N.K. because do we ever have a platform to tell you all about !!
This month our sponsor's are:
~Virgo Massage & Body Works
~Willow Tree Wisdom
~Elemental Gardens
~It's all About Energy
~Coryelle Kramer, Psychic Communicator
~Kelly Pickering, Team Northrup
We
are sponsoring an event on 9/15 at the Perthshire, Route 30N, Perth. Our goal is to
educate you on the different modalities of alternative health and an
over all feeling of well-being. Whatever
it is that you do that contributes to making people feel good about
themselves is why we want you to participate. Some of you may not be
typically considered "holistic", but we still consider you because you
are part of the "whole self" in which your service does help make people
feel good. From outside the house to inside the home, from pets to
gardens, from jewelry to art, we all are part of the "whole self". We still have openings for vendors and admission for the public is $6, under 12 free. We
hope you will join us!

As some of you know we have been building a new platform for you to use under Sacandaga Digest Publishing.

comes from helping someone else. This is part of WHY we want to do this. We are
inspired to do good for others.

in turn do good for another. It’s possible. Who doesn’t want to feel good? We
can offer a platform for you to do good and feel good doing good.
We are building a network of holistic businesses throughout the state of New York and beyond. We welcome all area businesses with an interest in holistic health and green living.

goal is to develop a thriving community of holistic businesses with a

Sacandaga Digest T.H.I.N.K. (The Holistic Interconnected Network of Knowledge)
Who are we?
Under the direction of Publisher, Shelley Brienza, Sacandaga Digest
Publishing and Sacandaga Digest publication, T.H.I.N.K. was created to
promote members within the holistic integrative practices.
What are we?
We are an annual service that you buy into to receive extraordinary
benefits. We are a vehicle to help you grow your business in a
non-traditional way. We are a network of like-minded individuals that
will share knowledge of the body, mind and spirit realm by teaching
others what is available as alternative wellness or holistic lifestyle
choices. As people’s awareness has grown to understand the
inter-connections between mind, body, spirit and soul, or put another
way, everything is inter-related, nothing is separate, and we believe we
are here to help share all that information with everyone.
When can you access this?
You may access this service as soon as you become a paid member.
The reason WHY I am creating this platform is because I BELIEVE
that it is important to have a central location nationwide where
people can locate any holistic business information. The feeling of
fulfillment comes from helping someone else. This is part of WHY I want
to do this. I am inspired to do good for others.
Become
part of the creation of teams of inspirational businesses where we can

We at Sacandaga Digest have some changes we want to share with you in how we intend on continuing servicing your advertising needs and growing our editorial content in our publication. Sacandaga Sun Digest has been a drop off publication with some mailed to out of state previously. We will likely continue mailing out of state to those contributors that write for us, however, we are expanding our reach by the
thousands in the next issue of Sacandaga Digest.
We are changing our publication name to :
Sacandaga Digest/T.H.I.N.K. to encompass a broader range of holistic businesses and practitioners. We will still do drop offs in many more cities than we ever did before too.
The major change we are offering you is that we will now become a direct mail publication, mailed to every home, apartment, business or PO Box address in Fulton and Montgomery Counties. Your ad or article will now reach over 50,000 individual persons in their mail boxes! This is a HUGE increase for your advertising dollars! And it is still just as affordable if not more affordable than we were before.
Sacandaga Holistic Digest
(Direct Mail Print Magazine)
We are now offering two magazines; one for Fulton County
and one for Montgomery County. Each is a separate deadline from the other. Each
magazine is printed every other month, meaning each edition is “out there” for
two months. Value of an ad is for two-month time span. We recommend booking an ad
for both editions to reach the 50,000 homes and businesses by direct mail.

I know it's a lot to absorb and I will try to break it down so you can understand this expansion.
However, we are super excited to be able to offer you this platform to grow your business! I will personally help you in all aspects of growing your business or maybe you want to become one of our regular columnists and create a following for your business and share your knowledge.
We are the LARGEST direct mail publication in all of Fulton and Montgomery Counties!
This magazine will be available in various locales of
NYS. Currently we reach Fulton, Montgomery, Schenectady, Orange, Herkimer,
Albany and Saratoga counties. Our goal is to encompass eastern New York State.
Many of the advertisers are involved with distributing our magazine because
they strongly believe in our mission, in turn, helping us generate a solid
following to support your business.
We wanted to create something that leaves a good
feeling in people as well as educate them on what is available to them right
now in their own back yards or are easily accessible. We are a niche
publication, working on the October/November, Fulton County issue, which is
scheduled for release during the second week of October.
Our magazine offers a special area of demand for
products and services that are rapidly growing into a way of life for many
people. We have several major factors in our favor: We are the least expensive
advertising company. If your advertising budget concerns you, why not go with a
company who can give you the most for your money while distributing to a target
market who is looking for you. Not only does your advertising dollars buy you
two months of circulated publication throughout Fulton and Montgomery Counties
and beyond, but also consumers do not throw our material away. Our product is
kept for future reference because of its usefulness unlike an expensive
newspaper type advertisement that is here today, gone tomorrow.
I would like to invite you
to step outside the box and join us.
Think of the possibilities advertising
with us could mean to your business when the growing market of people who are
dedicated to a healthy and positive lifestyle know you support their standard
of living. Considering the economy, word of mouth is not enough, especially if
consumers do not know you exist. The holiday season is nearly upon us. Here is
what you can do to grow your business: You can join us in this emerging market
by placing an ad or article that will show who you are or what you are all
about.
Each edition section will become a clip out section that you can save
and put into a binder to create your very own personal resource guide to keep for
alternative modalities.
Visit our website at
http://www.sacandagadigest.com/, it will explain all in detail, and with
pricing at http://www.sacandagadigest.com/rate-card.html. As a bonus, online
advertising is FREE with your pre-paid print advertising. You can pay directly

reserve your ad or article space. I highly recommend that you try us out by buying a pre-paid SPOT AD for only $80 a month. For $80 you will be reaching 25,000 homes and businesses!! You will not find anything as affordable as this and we are happy to be able to offer you this everyday low ad pricing.
