“We’ve advertised with etc. for her for years — way back when the magazine was mostly black and white. It has since grown into a beautiful piece. We’ve always recognized the value it’s held in the marketplace. The articles are local, timely, and of interest to the women that we want in our stores. We run ads and A-List items, and often have specific requests in-store for the items that we featured only in etc. for her. Great job etc. for her! You really know how to put out a quality, relevant magazine for the Sioux Falls market!

“Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center has been fortunate to be a part of the etc. expo for her since its beginning in 2006 as a gold sponsor. Participating in the annual event, which reaches over 7,000 people, has given us the ability to get our information on healthcare and healthy lifestyles to residents of Sioux Falls and surrounding communities. A great asset for us has been the opportunity to have some of our physicians speak and feature a variety of services to the expo attendees.”
