About Today's Senior Magazine LLC

""

Today's Senior Magazine started with its first California publication in November of 2004. Since then we have expanded to other areas throughout the United States. We credit our success to understanding the field of marketing to senior citizens and giving them access to local and national products and services that align with the needs of those 50 and over. We publish the most read and talked about senior magazines in our areas of distribution!

Our publication is different from other senior citizen publications. We print on easy to read newsprint, making it a perfect magazine for seniors. Printing this way also allows us to save costs, consequently charging our advertisers much less. This makes it possible for seniors to get important, relevant information in their area. Our targeted senior marketing distribution delivers to senior centers, gaming locations, retirement and assisted living homes, restaurants, and other businesses with a large senior population or customers. Our unique process and our dedication to delivering magazines for senior citizens that truly speak to the needs and wants of their lives makes us one of the best senior magazine franchises around.

We are always staying ahead of the information we know our customers need. That's why Today's Senior Magazine continues to be the go-to magazine for seniors across the country. We will continue to expand, providing our readers with information that matters to them.
