New Jersey Life is the premier lifestyle magazine of the Garden State.

Each of our 7 yearly issues reveals the best interior design, gardens, restaurants, personalities and things to do and see in the state. The magazine's presentation is second to none in New Jersey; New Jersey Life's superb design, drop-dead photography, and compelling editorial are on par with that of top national magazines.

The magazine offers regular features on shopping, health care, food and wine, and finance, as well as periodic special ad sections for categories such as jewelry, bridal, kitchen design, and automotive.

The circulation of 50,000 includes the state's most affluent residents. Its distribution is carefully controlled to ensure premium placement both in terms of venue (major bookstores, food chains, drug and convenience stores) as well as position on newsstand (the magazine often gets premium placement at check-out and special in-store displays).

In short, New Jersey Life is the ideal venue for anyone wanting to reach and influence the buying decisions of those who enjoy the finest things in life.
