~ An Invitation to Practitioners & Wellness Service Providers ~

Dear Practitioners and Wellness Service Providers,


I am writing to introduce you to the Maine Alternative Health Guide, an exciting resource designed to increase and enhance the use of complimetary healthcare practitioners, teachers, spas and wellness centers. This guide has been reviewed in the past by Down East Magazine as well as being used as a reference tool in local universities. We are also engaged in underwriting agreements with 2 public radio stations; WERU (East Orland & Bangor) and WMPG (Portland) and negotiating with others. Distributed FREE to consumers, the Guide provides you with an integrated advertising program featuring:
a) An annual publication listing your services, events and products by region and category
b) A high degree of exposure to both visitors that come to Maine and local residents seeking rejuvenation and wellness
c) A wide distribution strategy that includes health food stores, book stores, traditional and complimentary medical centers, hotels, guest houses, health fairs and visitor centers – circulation 30,000 copies
d) A reference that can be used for referral to alternative therapies
e) An opportunity to network with other practitioners

f) Your business listed on www.mainealternativehealth.net ("free" and immediate with paid ad contract)

After reviewing our advertising rates and assessing your own needs, we hope you will join our growing base of practitioners and wellness service providers.

Note: We are always accepting submissions for sponsors and calendar listings for our on-line version of the Guide. Soon we plan to expand and grown as an on-line resource guide and accommodate other areas throughout New England.

Please contact us anytime for further details at 207.698.9007 or eMail: bodysoul41@hotmail.com.

Sincerely,

Lin & Jeff Drechsler
