Advertise with Generations Magazine

GENERATIONS MAGAZINE is the only resource magazine devoted to Hawai‘i’s mature market. Baby boomers are the most powerful, vibrant and under-served consumers in the marketplace. A large number of them started to retire in 2010 when Generations Magazine was revived. They’re setting an unprecedented demand for information, products and services such as yours. Advertise your business in a meaningful format—Generations Magazine. It is the only magazine serving Hawai‘i’s 50-plus community. Each issue is packed with valuable articles and resources to live life to its fullest. Our targeted editorial content attracts qualified consumers who retain back issues, and share them with family and friends.

Baby boomers and their families are educated readers looking for credible information. The valued content, matched with the commitment to the mature community of Generations Magazine, benefit both consumers and advertisers. Published bimonthly, more than 35,000 copies are distributed free at O‘ahu’s drugstores, supermarkets, restaurants, libraries, bookstores, medical facilities, senior clubs and hui, retirement and activity centers, and assisted living facilities, as well as select Neighbor Island distribution points on Maui, Moloka‘i, Lāna‘i, Kaua‘i and Hawai‘i Island.

In addition, we mail 5,000 complimentary copies to professionals servicing seniors: doctors, physical therapists, dentists, pharmacists, clinics, attorneys and CPAs; and directly to 900 subscribers in Hawai‘i State and the mainland. And with our partners, we host educational events for seniors throughout the year.

Readers are also invited to visit us online to read previous issues, download our resource guide compilations, check on events centering on the topic of aging and access many more resources. Here’s a complete list of distribution locations.
