At TheBurg, we have what’s called a “high-class problem.”
Try as we might, we can’t seem to print enough copies to meet the huge and constantly growing demand for our monthly magazine.
Every month, we get emails and phone calls from folks who are having a hard time hunting down a copy of the current issue.
For example, last month, one reader complained that she tried three different spots on the west shore, but all were out within days of our initial delivery.
We’re so sorry!
Trust me—we are out there delivering. Each month, we print upwards of 20,000 copies and distribute to over 500 locations in seven counties across south-central PA
But folks often scoop them up as soon as we drop them off. Our distributors have many stories of people literally yanking copies from their hands as they try to make a delivery.
So, if you’re having trouble finding a copy, I have a few tips:
Start early. Our initial delivery run takes place the last few days of the month for the following month’s issue. Early bird gets TheBurg.
Search out alternatives. Our distribution locations are listed on our website, so you may find another spot near you.
Subscribe. On our website, you can subscribe to our magazine, and we’ll mail it right to you every month—guaranteed!
Read the digital issue. You can read the entire issue in its digital form on our website.
Visit us. There’s a street box right outside our Harrisburg office. Each month, we hold back a bundle or two so that that box is always stocked.
Support us. We’d love to print and distribute even more. It’s one of our long-term goals, but it’s also very costly. By joining Friends of TheBurg, you can help us grow. Details are on our website!
Anyway, if you’re reading this, you’ve successfully snagged a copy of our August issue, where you’ll find our customary mix of community news, high-quality features and must-do events, along with a special focus on youth and schools. Enjoy—and, when you’re done, please generously pass along your copy to a Burg-less friend.
