The typical Ace Readers are:
– active, educated, and affluent
– core readers are baby boomers
— cume readers are in the 25 to 49 “acquiring” years
Pick a demographic:
- they live in Lexington’s very best neighborhoods, from downtown to Beaumont and Hartland and Hamburg, along with Lexington’s most charming original historic suburbs such as Ashland Park, Bell Court, Chevy Chase, and Southland Drive.
- they’re college educated, and most hold advanced degrees
- they are early adopters — technology, media, and more.
- they attend concerts — along with operas and symphonies.
- they go to the movies, and they also go to the Theatre.
- they buy sporting goods, and fine art; wine, beer, and bourbon.
- they eat out an average of 3x a week (ranging from burgers and pizza to fine dining).
Ace has always reached the bluegrass region’s brightest, sharpest, most active, educated, affluent readers. (Like you!) Ace readers are both influencers and early adopters.
The elusive/exclusive newsweekly niche
The Ace Readers are virtually immune to mainstream advertising.
- they fast forward through commercials (if they watch TV at all)
- If they want to watch, they binge-stream their favorite shows, commercial free
- they responsibly recycle junk-mail into the Rosie straight from the mailbox
- they prefer their smartphones and satellite to commercial radio
- they’re more likely to turn to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook than a Daily for a news update
But they turn to Ace and Ace online for reliability and credibility — for curated news, thoughtful features and profiles, and the most comprehensive calendars in Lexington KY.
