QC Magazine Distribution:
Reaching Upper Income Households - On Both Sides of the River!
Reaching consumers with a high disposable income is important to your business. One publication, QC, will reach more than 15,000 households in both Rock Island County (Illinois) and Scott County (Iowa) with an annual household income of $80,000 and above. In addition. We are in the process of converting our distribution to paid subscribers, but will guarantee direct mailing the magazine to a minimum of 15,000 upper income homes as we make this conversion.

Why Advertise in QC Magazine?
QC Magazine is a compelling, full-color, glossy publication that is targeted to upper income households in the Quad Cities area. It’s a great way to reach the upper income consumer and business decision-makers.
