A great opportunity!
In 2004 when Domnitjen was first published it built up a reputation based on quality of its content. By the end of the year we had earned the very enthusiastic response of our readers. Now we invite you to advertise with us
What is Domnitjen magazine?
Domnitjen is a general interest magazine aimed at all Dominicans throughout the Diaspora. It is published three times a year (with a special run Shopping Guide catalogue at the end of the year) and distributed locally, regionally and internationally. Its purpose is to inform and enlighten Dominicans about the world in which they live and of their heritage. We aim to reach as many Dominicans as possible to maintain strong lines of communication that will allow the free flow of ideas and knowledge. Our mission is to help lift ourselves up, be proud of who we are and discover ways to secure a bright future.
Why do we do it?
Dominica, that well-kept Caribbean secret, is even less known by its own peoples. Dominicans at home and abroad are unaware of the exciting history of the island or of its many success stories. This we have concluded has lent to a national low self-esteem—we fail to fully appreciate Dominica. Through Domnitjen magazine we want to raise the faltered self-esteem. We will uncover our proud past, showcase current successes and provide the information that will facilitate future success.
How do we do it?
Domnitjen presents a wide range of topics meant to stimulate minds and inspire action. We identify successful Dominicans past and present worldwide; we delve into our history and heritage; we explore business and personal finance, health and well-being, home management and décor, etiquette, and commerce.br>
Our regular columns include Spice of Life (a well-rounded look at herbs and spices); Personalities (a showcase of notable Dominicans throughout history); and Good Reads (book extracts).
Who reads Domnitjen?
Our target audience is quite wide. We target and reach Dominicans ranging in age from approximately 10 to 75; Dominicans on island and abroad. We have readers as far as Antigua, St. Lucia, the United Kingdom and the USA. Students, homemakers, professionals alike find something of interest in Domnitjen.
Why advertise with Domnitjen?
Domnitjen will get your product/service seen throughout the Diaspora. Dominicans all over will learn of your business.
