ADVERTISERS

Effective advertising doesn't scream at its audience. It persuades. It sells. The key to cost-effective advertising is making your voice heard where an audience is already listening. VOICE OF THE DIABETIC, circulation 305,515+, offers such an outlet. Make your voice heard. For VOICE OF THE DIABETIC advertising information contact:

VOICE DISTRIBUTORS NEEDED

Since the VOICE is now offered free, our Diabetes Action Network will provide extra copies to anyone wanting to help spread the word. We will gladly send from five to five hundred-plus copies each quarter to be used as free literature. Medical facilities can order as needed for patients. Individuals can usually place copies of the VOICE in libraries, pharmacies, hospitals, doctors' offices, or other public locations.

Diabetes education is essential. Anyone who distributes the Voice will be helping people with diabetes, and their families, to learn about the disease and its ramifications; to learn that they have options; and that their world is far greater than whatever "limits" may be imposed by the disease. If you would like to help spread the word by distributing the publication, please contact: Voice of the Diabetic, 1412 I-70 Drive SW, Suite C, Columbia, MO 65203; telephone: (573) 875-8911, fax: (573) 875-8902. NOTE: Please provide a phone number so we can reach you.
