Our “Tradigital” Marketing Campaigns: Much More than A Print Ad
Our multi-channel, integrated marketing campaigns combine targeted public relations and carefully crafted print advertisements in our printed publication, with web, email and social media marketing for integrated, affordable programs that boost brand recognition and build word of mouth referrals.
We specialize in strategic, “tradigital” campaigns, where we utilize the most effective tools of “traditional” and “digital” marketing for small businesses.
Our 12-month comprehensive programs make it easy and affordable for our clients to meaningfully connect with educated, affluent women between the ages of 30 and 65 who are making purchase decisions for their families in Bucks and Montgomery County, PA.
Every 12-month campaign includes:
- Full color print advertisements in our print and web magazines
- Original, professionally written public relations in the form of articles, interviews and news stories designed to educate and inspire
- Custom creative ad design and copywriting
- Directory listings in our popular Community Resource Guide
- Event listings in our Daily and Ongoing Calendars
- Comprehensive campaign strategy planning and ongoing consultation from professional marketers, designers and journalists.
Everything we do in print, we also do online, so we can appeal to our readers and potential new clients at every turn, and every click. Our online digital magazines and unique “hotlinks” of every article helps to boost social media engagement, increases web traffic, email inquiries and search engine rankings. Additional online presence can be garnered by purchasing one of our Social Media Boosts.
What Our Advertisers Are Saying…
“I’ve been working with Natural Awakenings for over 3 years now as the back page advertiser and it’s been one of the best decisions I ever made.
As a business owner, I could not be happier with the results; we get multiple new inquiries each month.
As a dental health care provider with a more holistic approach, Natural Awakenings allows me to reach like-minded patients seeking exceptional care. I highly recommend Karen and the team at Natural Awakenings! Their attention to detail, and willingness to help me convey my purpose in an eloquent and “Zen” way is the perfect partnership.”
– Dr. Beth Skovron, Heritage Dental, October 2016

Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) is a market segment focused on health and fitness, the environment, personal development, sustainable living, and social justice.
Estimates are that LOHAS is a $200 billion dollar industry, and 27% of American consumers are affiliated with the LOHAS psychographic.
5 main market categories define the LOHAS set:
- HEALTHY LIVING: This is the most common entry point to the LOHAS market. It encompasses organic foods, natural products, nutritional supplements, and a wide variety of health and fitness pursuits.
- ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE: LOHAS consumers actively seek out information and services related to integrative healthcare and holistic disease prevention, including practices such as acupuncture, chiropractic and homeopathy.
- PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: Perceiving the connection between physical and mental health, LOHAS types take a strong interest in personal development and growth, including investigations of mind-body-emotion-spirit connections, self-help, leadership and life-balance topics. They are likely to take yoga, meditation and tai chi classes, as well as purchase books, videos and CDs on related subjects. They like to seek out new experiences and learning.
- ECOLOGICAL LIFESTYLES: Because they see their own health and the planet’s health as inherently tied, LOHAS consumers tend to embrace recycling, green building, ecotourism and all sorts of eco-friendly home and office products. They are better informed than average about ecological topics.
- SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY: From renewable energy sources and socially responsible investing to fair-trade principles and “triple bottom line” accounting (which considers social and environmental performance, as well as fiscal profits), LOHAS consumers like to promote fair, ethical and sustainable business practices. They prefer doing business with companies that promote a holistic worldview and that share their values.
