Reunions magazine Editorial Profile & Calendar

   Successful reunions are thoroughly prepared events.  They deserve the finest you have to offer. Reunions are about relationships and reunion organizers want their relationship with you to produce successful reunions.

   Reunions are amazingly resilient and strong in an economy that is not kind to anyone. In a recent survey, respondents said their reunions are “too important” to not follow through and continue them as well as the economy allows. Our reunion organizer readers look forward to what you offer to make their planning easier, smoother and affordable. We invite you to share you message to solicit reunion business from our Reunions magazine readers.

www.reunionsmag.com is the electronic extension and support to the print magazine. The goal to serve reunion organizers is the same for both. The website also offers

• podcasts about reunion planning topics

• a picture gallery where reunions can celebrate themselves  online.

• forums for reunion discussion and chatter by organizers to help them.

• extensive freebies for reunion planners.

We offer a free monthly reunion-planning newsletter/eblast to readers who sign up. We also maintain a facebook fan page  and twitter page to increase our online profile and send alerts between issues.
