The Beat’s Readership Profile

The Beat is read each month by the most active members of the high disposable income 25-54 year-old market. The Beat’s readers include hip, culturally aware locals-who enjoy reading about local music celebrities-and visitors who are anxious to experience Wilmington’s unique music scene while they’re in the city and to savor it after they’ve gone home.

The Beat has a strong, targeted market of both locals and tourists because of the focus on our unique music-a claim that local newspapers, weeklies and city magazines cannot make. The Beat also has a strong and growing subscriber base throughout the area.
