Advertise with Creations
Forty years of trust with a readership that actually reads. Creations reaches people who are already looking for what you offer, in pages they keep rather than a feed they scroll past.
An audience that arrives already interested
Our readers are seekers and practitioners: people navigating health, grief, purpose and change, who come to Creations looking for a teacher, a therapy, a class, a book or a business they can trust. Advertising here is a recommendation, not an interruption.
Publishing continuously for 40 years, since 1985.
A curated network of nearly 900 locations
Every copy is placed where holistic, health-conscious and spiritually minded people already spend their time, so your ad meets its audience in the moments that matter.
- Health food stores
- Wellness & spiritual centers
- Yoga studios, gyms & meditation centers
- Cultural arts venues
- Libraries & universities
- Supermarkets & coffee shops
- Music & bookstores
- Green & wellness expos
Print, digital, and design
Most advertisers run print and digital together, and let us handle the artwork. Any one of them stands on its own.
In every issue of the magazine
A place in the bi-monthly print edition, picked up in health-food stores, studios, wellness centers and practices across New York City and Long Island, then carried home and kept on the counter for two months.
- Full page, half, quarter and business-card sizes
- Premium positions: back cover, inside covers, opposite editorial
- Advertorial placements written in the voice of the magazine
- Multi-issue schedules at a reduced rate

Print sizes, drawn to scale
Every unit shown on the same 11 by 13 inch page, so you can see what you are buying before you design it.
Page trim is 11 by 13 inches. Shaded areas are the artwork area for each unit. Bleed, resolution and file-format requirements come with the rate card, and we will design the ad for you if you would rather not supply artwork.
Every size, every budget
Six print sizes and three listing formats. Rates depend on size and frequency, so ask for a quote and we will send the current rate card by return.

What to send us
Two units cover every digital placement on the site. Supply JPG, PNG or WebP at the sizes below, at least 72 dpi, under 2 MB, with any text kept clear of the outer 5%.
| Unit | Supply at | Ratio | Where it runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square | 1000 × 1000 px 710 px minimum | 1:1 | Article pages, homepage grid, category and issue grids |
| Wide banner | 2250 × 750 px 1124 px minimum | 3:1 to 4:1 | Top of the homepage and the site footer |
Digital placements, drawn in place
The same two creatives, shown where they run on creationsmag.com, so you can see what you are buying before you design it.
One square covers every grid on the site: homepage, All Articles, category, issue, search, calendar, community, resources and marketplace. One banner covers every full-width position. A full-width buy supplies both, and the square earns its keep twice, running in the box placements and swapping in for the banner on phones so the ad stays readable instead of shrinking to a sliver.
Print specs vary by size and position. Ask for the current rate card and we will send the exact trim, bleed and deadline for the issue you want.

Every placement starts with a real conversation, not a checkout. Tell us about your practice or your product and we will come back with the options that actually fit, along with rates, specs and the next deadline.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Print closes several weeks before an issue goes to press, so the earlier the better, particularly for premium positions. Digital placements can usually start within a few days.
Do you offer discounts for multiple issues?
Yes. Multi-issue and combined print-plus-digital schedules are priced below the one-off rate, and the design work is quoted once rather than per issue.
Can you write the ad as well as design it?
We can. Send us the essentials and our editors will draft copy in the magazine's voice for your approval. Advertorial placements carry a clear sponsored label, which our readers appreciate and trust.
What can't be advertised?
For our readers' wellbeing, we do not run claims that a product or practice cures, treats or prevents disease. Everything else in the wellness, spiritual and creative space is welcome.
