Greyhounds Only Members Are Loyal to GO’s Supporters
Reach More Than 600 Potential Customers with Only Petty Cash

The Skinny: Greyhounds Only Newsletter - the quarterly publication of the nonprofit organization Greyhounds Only, which finds homes for retired racing greyhounds - now accepts advertising. Your camera-ready ad will be seen by the 600 readers of the paper edition plus countless others reading the Web version. Adopters of greyhounds tend to be fiercely loyal to the cause—and to go out of their way to support those businesses and people who also support their pet cause. When you show your support for greyhound rescue, you will earn the interest and trust of those who read our newsletter—for as little as the price of 100 bubble-lined envelopes or 70 postage stamps! Even a full-page ad, running for the whole year, probably won’t break the bank.

Small Venue, Deep Saturation
There are bigger, glossier venues for advertising, but do their subscribers read every issue cover to cover? The Skinny’s readers often do—which means, your ad won’t merely be seen: it will be read.

Our Quality Makes YOU Look Better!
Home publishing programs let everyone be their own newsletter designer and editor, but The Skinny’s professional staff—copy editors who trained and worked at the University of Chicago Press, a layout person who works as a full-time designer—gives our publication a professional look, a look that says you can trust what you find there. But don’t just take my word for it—see for yourself: click here to see our archived newsletters or request a hard copy by e-mailing Yvonne, and we’ll send you a sample.

The Skinny means business—for you!
