Yes, that’s right! Southern Weddings Volume 5 is going to be our biggest and best issue yet! You might have heard our BIG HUGE news (well, besides, Emily getting married over the weekend – yay, Mrs. T!), but if not I am thrilled to announce that we received news from our awesome circulation agent that we’ll have a fifty percent (ah, 50%) increase in distribution on V5!! So that means we’ll be spreading the Southern goodness even wider, and we can’t thank y’all enough for your support!
A little behind-the-scenes with the new Mrs. Thomas!
In honor of the launch of V5 we’re throwing a bash, and we’d love for you to join us! Save the date! On November 15th, we Southern Weddings ladies will be getting fancy and celebrating at The Carolina Inn, and y’all are invited! More info soon!
We’re literally growing like kudzu, y’all! In addition to our BIG print increase, we’re also growing online! Thanks to your support, our online traffic is up a whopping fifty two percent (holy cow 52%!) this month! We are tickled pink to see this news and we couldn’t be more grateful to our sweet readers, advertisers and friends!
Since V5 is going to be our biggest magazine yet, that means we get to add just a few more pages of gorgeous ads! To celebrate this awesomeness, we’re extending our Emily Got Married sale for just a few more days. Hurry because these spaces are selling like hot cakes, and once they’re gone, we’ll be completely SOLD OUT! Email me asap to snag your space before it’s too late!
Y’all know we can’t make a big announcement without giving our fab readers a little love, so in celebration we’re giving away one of the VERY first Southern Weddings V5′s hot off the press!
To enter, help us spread the news with two (or three) simple steps:
1. Tweet and/or Facebook how excited you are with this sentence: “I can’t wait to get my hands on #SWV5, @iloveswmag’s biggest issue yet!” Don’t forget to tag us on Facebook and mention us on Twitter.
