Own the local media company serving Durango. One of the most affluent communities in the region. The business is anchored by an established City Lifestyle luxury magazine, mailed monthly to high-income homeowners and reaching more than 62,000 verified readers, and extends into digital: targeted social advertising, website placements, sponsored content, and local events. Local businesses get one partner to reach their best customers in print and online, and you earn from day one.
The current owner runs the business in 40 hours per week and nets more than $29,000 a year. The business has been maintained, not grown, which is exactly the opportunity. The territory, the readership, and the product line are already in place. What this business needs is an owner with time to sell. Publishers in comparable City Lifestyle markets net more than $200,000 annually on the same model.

How the Model Works:
City Lifestyle publishers own the local relationships. Corporate handles the rest. A full creative team produces every magazine layout and every ad, the platform delivers the digital campaigns, and you receive structured onboarding, weekly coaching calls, and on-demand strategy sessions with a dedicated local franchise coach.
Your role is to be the face of local media in your community: build relationships with premier local businesses and sell integrated print and digital partnerships. No publishing, media, or marketing experience required.

Ideal Buyer:
Someone who enjoys sales, networking, and community involvement, and wants to own the media business in their own community. Entrepreneurs, sales and marketing professionals, and business owners adding a complementary revenue stream all succeed in this model.
