Why each zone’s issue is different
The masthead and the season are the same on every copy of Holiday 2026. The ads inside are not, and neither is the length. Advertisers buy the zones where their customers live, so the Collinsville / Maryville / Granite City edition carries businesses the Monroe County / Randolph County one does not, and the offers change to match. The zone’s name is printed under the masthead, top right of the cover.
St. Clair is now one edition
Until this issue, St. Clair North and St. Clair South each had an edition of their own. From Holiday 2026 they mail as one St. Clair edition to 50,000 addresses, twice what the other zones get: Belleville and Freeburg in the south, O’Fallon, Fairview Heights, Shiloh, Swansea, Mascoutah, New Baden, Lebanon and Scott Air Force Base to the north. The coverage page lists every zone and town.
For advertisers
This is the company an ad keeps: no more than two businesses from one category in an issue, in the zones the advertiser picks. The next issue is New Year 2027, in homes around January 19, 2027, and its creative is due December 29. Call (618) 239-4735 or see the four ways to advertise.
