RE MAGAZINE:
THE FLAGSHIP
PUBLICATION FOR A
POWERFUL MARKET
Connection
With a subscriber base of more than 21,000 co-op employees, and a passalong readership of more than 41,000, RE® Magazine is the only industry
publication that reaches nearly all (99%) of the electric co-op market.2
Opportunity
From the people on the front lines to the solutions that move the industry
forward, RE® Magazine has covered electric cooperatives from the
beginning.
Since October 1942, RE® Magazine has served as the official voice of
NRECA. It’s the “read” of choice for electric cooperative decision-makers
and staff who want to stay in touch with their peers and on top of industry
challenges and innovations. We’ve earned this loyal following through our
consistently insightful, timely coverage of all things electric co-op.
If you want to increase your brand awareness with electric cooperatives,
RE® Magazine is the place to be seen.
In the lucrative and growing electric cooperative market, RE® Magazine
readers are the people you want to reach. From CEOs and board members
to operations supervisors and supply managers, more than 65% of RE®
Magazine subscribers are likely to take purchasing action from seeing
advertisements.1
Want more detail? See our most recent circulation statement, audited by BPA
Worldwide.
Reputation
RE® Magazine is also the publication co-op executives recommend to their
colleagues. Our pass-along readership rate speaks for itself: One-third of all
subscribers share their issue with an average of six additional people.2
And these magazines don’t just sit on subscriber shelves collecting dust.
From a recent survey...
“The magazine showcases many different tools
and technologies. I like to see the latest
and greatest innovations that are available.
If a product is in this magazine, chances are
it is probably a reliable product.”1
