Chicago, IL -
Chicago-based Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) arts, entertainment, nightlife and culture Web site, ChicagoPride.com announces a joint venture with GENRE Media, LLC, benefiting the site’s 430,000 unique monthly visitors.
Under this partnership, ChicagoPride.com users will be able to purchase yearly subscriptions of GENRE Magazine, a leading national LGBT lifestyle publication, for a discounted rate of 60% off the newsstand price. For an annual subscription of ten consecutive magazine issues, the cost to site members for this “Midwestern Special” will be $7.97/year for a limited time engagement.
"I've enjoyed GENRE Magazine for years. We're thrilled to partner with GENRE and add this discount to our growing number of member benefits," says ChicagoPride.com Editor in Chief, S. James Long.
In an effort to reach a more diverse Midwestern readership, GENRE VP/Editorial Director Chris Ciompi proposed the promotion to the popular regional website.
“In the past year, GENRE has had steadily increasing success on the newsstands of The Windy City. I feel like we’re connecting with the guys in Chicago, and I feel like ChicagoPride.com does the same,” Ciompi says, “Interviews, news, national politics, entertainment coverage—beyond all things gay-only. We’re both reaching out to the modern gay male with the assumption that he values being more than just out. Bottom line: Same mission—great partnership.”
“We are really pleased to bring the unique editorial-styling of GENRE Magazine to our members,” says ChicagoPride.com President, R. Matthew Inawat, “the site’s primary focus may be regional, but our tone and content has always been national and all-inclusive. Everyone is eligible for free membership on ChicagoPride.com, despite where they live, and is welcome to take part in this special offer with GENRE.”
