SALT | CONCEPT ISSUE | APRIL 2012



Welcome to SALT, the concept issue. A digital magazine dedicated to Culture, Art, Retail and Dining in Cape May County, New Jersey.

For now, we're playing around with editorial content and guaging interest from the local business community. There's been a very good response so far.

We will be looking for contributors eventually. Mostly as a community thing. For fun. We won't be able to pay, but there should be some good exposure.

So if you're a photographer, writer or illustrator, or know one who you think is great, drop me a note with your submission ideas and some samples of your work. 

Have a shop, restaurant, event or personality that you think we should cover? Send it along.

Interested in advertising your product, company or service? Let me know. I'd like to make a note about this as well. While we will be accepting advertising, we have very strict guidelines as to the quality of the advertising we'll take. If it's not up to our artistic standards, we'll be happy to design your ad for you at no charge. But we're looking for branded advertising only. No specials. No coupons. No deals. If the advertising is tacky, the magazine becomes tacky. Then it's not worth doing.

This is the beauty of doing something yourself, and for which you don't care if you make money on. You can make your own rules.

It's so nice to see this Dave, I am loving the concept, photography, layout and narrative. I would love to be involved with this and share it with others I know that would appreciate it. There is a community here that some folks, even life long residents, aren't aware of, we have a very special collection of artist, small business, hard working people that help mold and make this area what it is. Thank you for exploring that part of cape may county and introducing it to others, it is exactly what we need.

That's what I needed to hear Bekki. As long as there is an appreciative audience, I think this can be fun. And I think if we work together as a community we can promote it to an audience who would appreciate it and find value in it. Maybe we it would be better to do as a sort of collective rather than "selling advertising". :)
