The Stagger provides its readers an exhaustive listing of live music, events, and nightly drink specials for every downtown bar in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.

The Stagger appeals to people of all ages. Our readers tend to have more disposable income, be more involved in their communities, and have a more vested interest in the local economy than the average North Carolinian.

We currently distribute 6,000 copies every two weeks at over 350 locations in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Our online and printed editions reach more than 25,000 readers each month.

The Stagger provides a variety of advertising options designed to fit any budget. With rates starting as low as $50 per issue, and per-issue discounts awarded when signing up for extended runs, The Stagger is accessible to many local businesses that may not otherwise be able to advertise. The price of design is included in the rates for each size, and includes a free advertisement on our website, www.thestagger.com.
