Our publication has navigated production increases but we now face the challenge of steadily rising mail, postage and substantial print increases. We know these are difficult times for all businesses. We thought long and hard and weighed our options, even contemplating folding the magazine. The Last Word article in the Mar/Apr issue stated news of a potential “Goodbye” which to our surprise, garnered such an overwhelming response and ideas of support from readers. Phone calls and e-mails from residents who rely on ENcompass to keep them informed, entertained and introduce new places to go and dine in the East Naples Community.
Raising advertising prices was not an option as we know advertising budgets cannot stretch further. We believe we have come up with a solution that will benefit all. The May and August issues will be combined for a Summer Issue. Going forward ENcompass will publish four issues per year - Summer, Nov/Dec 2026 - Jan/Feb - Mar/Apr 2027. We are proud to advise that ENcompass will live on!
If you believe in ENcompass as we do, please continue to support our mission to keep the East Naples’ Community Magazine viable. We cannot produce this magazine without advertisers. The Summer Issue will hit mailboxes the first week of May. If you know of anyone wishing to be featured please contact me for a Media Kit. Professional ad design is included.
We greatly appreciate the dedication and support of our publication. We look forward to many more issues and I am very proud to say "my goal to reach 15+ years of ENcompass is in sight! "
All the Best for East Naples’ Success!
