We rely upon our social media channels
to help alleviate some of the pressure
involved with spreading the word about
great businesses and activity that we know
our readers are interested in.
If you are not following us
yet, please do. If you are not
sharing your news with us
online, either directly or by
tagging us with your posts,
please change that. If you
are not sending us your news
for our BUZZ column, start.
We want to share your information and for
many readers, this is the first part of the
magazine that they read. But we don’t have
the journalistic resources to gather all of this
information. Have I mentioned that there
is no charge for any of these services? We’re
waiting to hear from you!
If you have a business that has never
advertised with us, we encourage you to
have a discussion with us about that. While
we labour over our editorial content, we can
assure you that our readers also look at our
ads with genuine interest, and make a great
@eatdrinkmag
deal of purchasing decisions based upon
them. This is the real value in being a niche
publication. The ads in Eatdrink magazine are
part and parcel of our ability to tell the story
of what is going on in the
community. We assure you
that there is great value in
investing in ads here. If you
have doubts, we encourage
you to flip through these
pages and call some of our
advertisers and ask them
how this magazine is working
for them. Call at a convenient time and I’m
sure you’ll get an honest answer.
I am pleased that an exceptionally good
friend to Eatdrink has embarked upon a welldeserved
retirement, but I am personally and
professionally going to miss my interactions
with Cathy Rehberg at Stratford Tourism
Alliance. Cathy has been a tireless advocate for
Stratford — there has never been any doubt
about where her loyalties lay — yet she has
also given generously of her expertise to help
make Eatdrink a better magazine. For a number
