• control 67% of all US wealth, as of 2001 (U.S. Census and Federal Reserve)
• bring in $2.4 trillion in annual income (U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey)
• 50% of baby boomers plan to buy a new home after retirement (Del Webb Survey)
• 96% of baby boomers participate in word-of mouth marketing by passing a product or service information on to friends (ThirdAge and JWT Boom)

About Us

Own your own direct mail, community magazine and be a local hero. Statistics prove that print is NOT dead, as long as it is provided via direct mail. We look forward to explaining all of the ways you can create your local brand. Working with Blue Sky Community Media gives you the freedom and support to run your own magazine directed at the people who are spending money and appreciate non-big box commerce (baby boomers ages 50-65) and help local businesses grow.

If you are outgoing, want to be an integral part of your local community, and enjoy working with other businesses owners, this is the perfect business for you. Working with Blue Sky Community Media, you get the best of two worlds, plus more. You are backed by our 17 year history of monthly publishing of this product but you get the freedom to choose your own community voice in your own magazine.

By providing a locally focused, wellness oriented magazine, you serve your community residents and local businesses. Mom and Pop businesses love having a connection with the publisher and media owners are seen as some of the most reputable business owners in town.

Working with Blue Sky Community Media is a different experience than most business opportunity/franchise buys. This is not a “buy this business and get 3-days of training and then bye-bye” program.

By purchasing your own direct-mail, community magazine program, you get every piece you need to build your business from the ground up including:

• All scripts and media material
• Personal on-going training in how to get ads, get exposure for your magazine, how to hire your own sales people and every other question answered so you can get your first issue out in 90 days
• Personalized rate card files
• Set up for your mailing area
• National articles and photos to populate your issues, plus instructions on how to set up your local network
• Full layout and design of your first issue and all ads you sell for that issue
• Access to our vetted printer with volume pricing
• And, Most Importantly, weekly live coaching plus unlimited access to get questions answered by email so you know step-by-step what you should be doing every day to get your first issue done. You never feel alone or confused, yet your ideas and creativity are the driving force of what you are creating.

By working together on an ongoing basis for the first three months, you have the greatest chance of a quick start toward creating your first issue. There is no other business program out there that offers this level of partnership to make certain that you succeed.

Following the first issue, you can choose to stay with us and use our services, or head out on your own. There are no continuing fees after the initial buy-in, unless you choose to contract services.
