Residents of Greenwood are getting their own local monthly magazine. A little over two years after launching the “Center Grove Community Newsletter,” Chilly Panda Media, LLC, will publish the “Greenwood Community Newsletter.” Two Center Grove brothers own chilly Panda Media. Dann Veldkamp, who handles the editorial side of the two magazines, says, “We saw such a strong demand for the Center Grove magazine we started exploring the idea of creating a second magazine.” After distributing the Greenwood Freedom Festival guide in the Center Grove edition last June Mayor Mark Myers commented, “I hope we can see the guide in a Greenwood edition next year.” “Shortly after that we decided that June would be our target,” Veldkamp added.
The Greenwood Community Newsletter will have different content, and will always having a unique cover story. As is the case in Center Grove, the US Post Office will deliver the vast majority of the magazines. Current distribution plans call for mailing the magazine to about 10,500 homes and an additional 1,000 copies will be available for pick-up at retail locations, restaurants and the new Greenwood City Center.
Jody Veldkamp, who heads up the sales effort says “We were pleasantly surprised how well received the Center Grove magazine was by area businesses. Small to mid-size businesses have a difficult time finding an affordable way to reach a large percentage of a community in print. No one reaches more homes in Center Grove than our magazine and now the same will be true in Greenwood with addition of the Greenwood Community Newsletter.” Combined the two magazines will reach more than 25,000 homes in the county, far more than any other publication. “The magazine is paid for by advertisers. Residents enjoy the magazine and appreciate the business community’s support of it,” Veldkamp added.
The magazines are part of the TownePost Media Network of hyper-local publications. There are eight other magazines operating in various communities around Indianapolis. The Center Grove magazine was the first magazine in the group not published by TownePost founder Tom Britt.
