What have you done to keep your customers engaged?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>Aspen Sojourner<\/strong>: For starters, we had to pivot with the content on our website right away. Instead of our weekly \u201c5 Things to Do This Weekend\u201d updates, for example, we\u2019ve been creating \u201c5 Things to Do While Sheltered at Home\u201d posts. Other articles we created have included a photo essay by a photographer who, with five friends, was on a 100-mile backcountry hut trip from Aspen to Vail the week the pandemic broke in Colorado; a look at local liquor stores\u2019 quarantine best-sellers; and a comprehensive takeout and delivery guide to restaurants in Basalt and Carbondale. We wanted to give readers practical info without a gloom and doom message. From an advertising perspective, we\u2019ve combined our traditional summer and midsummer\/fall issues into one issue that will come out at the beginning of July. There was no sense in producing an issue \u2014 and charging advertisers to be in it \u2014 when town was still shut down and no one was visiting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AT<\/strong>: What\u2019s the most important thing the community can do to support you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AS<\/strong>: Sign up for our weekly e-newsletter at aspensojo.com to stay in the know about everything we\u2019re creating, from outdoors recreation guides to the new rules of dining out to this summer\u2019s virtual arts offerings. And please, please consider advertising, both in print and online. We can\u2019t exist without both our readers and our advertisers, and getting out the message that you\u2019re open for business has never been more important. We\u2019ve come up with different formats for advertising, so if you think you can\u2019t afford it, talk to us first. We bet you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AT<\/strong>: Where can we find your most current offerings and updates?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AS<\/strong>: Right now at aspensojo.com and on our Facebook page. For a media kit to advertise, please email publisher Nancy Mayer at <a href=\"mailto:nancy@aspensojourner.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nancy@aspensojourner.com<\/a>. And look for us around town, wherever we are allowed to distribute, in early July. You can even stop by our office and we\u2019ll give you a copy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AT<\/strong>: What has been the best customer experience or comment you\u2019ve had since the crisis started?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AS<\/strong>: We\u2019ve received great feedback on our recent web posts, especially the midvalley restaurant take-out guide, and how useful they\u2019ve been. Our advertisers have welcomed the changes we\u2019ve made to try to help them be successful in this new climate. Wrote one, \u201cWe appreciate the combining of issues and the saving of one month of advertising, so kudos to your team on coming up with that,\u201d while another wrote, \u201cI\u2019m glad that Aspen Sojourner is being realistic with this new reality.\u201d Of course, we are all in this together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AT<\/strong>: Is there anything else you\u2019d like to add regarding your business during the pandemic?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\"><strong>AS<\/strong>: Keeping it local and relevant is so important right now, and we\u2019re here to keep you informed and inspired, in print and online. Plus, in the middle of the pandemic, we won the Western Publisher\u2019s Association Maggie Award \u2014 for the second year in a row \u2014 for best consumer quarterly. The ceremony was virtual, but our pride and excitement was very much in real life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/local\/were-open-aspen-sojourner-magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspen Sojourner magazine continues to put out content during the pandemic through its website.Courtesy image Aspen Sojourner publisher Nancy MayerCourtesy photo Show CaptionsHide Captions Business name: Aspen Sojourner magazine Address: 411 E.
