Glancer Magazine

I am grateful for the opportunity of working for Glancer magazine as well as reading Glancer magazine. This magazine gave me my big break and professional photography and brought me proper exposure to give to the communities it serves. Check out the scene around town section. It rocks! It’s your community at a glance.

*** Update (May 15, 2013)
In the last week, I have not only been asked by the editor/​owner of this magazine to remove my review for fear it would bring bad business, but I have also witnessed an influx of five-​star reviews from people who a) have never posted or rarely post on Unilocal,b) seem to be connected to the magazine, through a personal relationship with the editor or one of the writers and c) advertise with the magazine.
A look at the magazine’s Facebook page indicates it has been soliciting reviews to counter my negative opinion. I do hope the majority of Unilocalers are smart enough to realize the truth (as I am sure this practice upsets and irritates you as much as it does me).

Glancer Magazine is a great source to learn about the who’s who and what’s what around the communities it serves. With outreach in 9 different communities, it is a great choice for local advertising. What I love most about Glancer is its participation in non-​for-​profit fundraising. Glancer has hosted so many fundraising events ranging from a benefit to help a family that lost everything in a fire to supporting great organizations such as GiGi’s Playhouse which assists families with a fun place for children with Down Syndrome. This magazine knows what it means to give back!!! As President Elect of the Naperville Junior Woman’s Club, I am proud to have such a wonderful publication to partner with.

One of my favorite things about the Glancer Magazine is the way it highlights and supports local businesses, while keeping residents informed of the important (& also FUN!) things that are happening around town. As the former owner of the downtown Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, I had the opportunity to work with Lindy and her staff on many occasions, from marketing campaigns to social events that raised funds for many worthy causes. Lindy has developed an awesome staff of individuals who have knowledge and integrity in their industries — Go Glancer!

I love what Glancer is doing to support Chicagoland businesses and communities. My cousin, who writes for the magazine, invited me to attend a fashion show in Naperville a couple of years that really brought the community together!
I don’t receive the magazine regularly, but I always read my cousin’s columns (which are great), and I know all the writers regularly work to support and spread the word about the independent merchants, businesses, and local organizations in each of the communities they cover.

This is a fantastic and resourceful magazine. Of course, I may be biased because I was featured in the December 2012 edition :)
It does a great job of featuring local businesses and helps bring light to issues that matter to women. I live in Batavia and have lots of friends living in the surrounding suburbs and they ALL read it. I know because I didn’t really tell anyone about my feature and they all contacted me to tell me how great it was!
Thanks for the opportunity to be featured and of course, appreciate the lovely photography skills from Mike M.
