Each of our quarterly issues embraces a unique theme, weaving together articles that explore various aspects of the subject.

By advertising with Foothills Digest, you can reach a passionate audience that appreciates the distinctive charm and character of Western North Carolina. Align your brand with our commitment to quality and authenticity, and connect with potential customers who share your values.

Our magazine is thoughtfully crafted for the residents of the Foothills, a demographic that has traditionally been challenging to reach through marketing efforts. Often, they are grouped with the Charlotte or Asheville market, which doesn’t truly capture their unique interests and needs. By advertising with us, you have the opportunity to connect with this distinct audience in a meaningful way. Our readers will associate the exceptional quality of our magazine with your business or organization, fostering a positive perception and fostering potential growth.
