Place Natural Awakenings free magazines in your business and become part of a community wide awakening. Provide something positive for your customers. The best part is that we take care of everything. 

Our distribution network will deliver your copies of the magazine each month, neatly place them in the space designated by you, remove any remaining copies from the previous month (to be recycled) and will strive to provide the optimum number of copies for your site. If a rack is needed it will be provided by Natural Awakenings. Magazines are generally delivered a few days before the first of each month. We would love to have you join us - if you would like to be a distribution point, email The Publisher today!
