WATCH OUT O, HERE COMES A!
Askmissa.com launches national e-magazine
(WASHINGTON, DC) –A year and a half after the launch of the DC-area lifestyle blog AskMissA.com, the company makes its debut today as a national e-magazine. Inspired by Washington socialite Andrea Rodgers’s LateNightShots moniker, “Miss A,” AskMissA.com’s popularity blossomed from 5,000 to 60,000 unique monthly readers between August 2008 and February 2010. AskMissA.com publishes advice, recommendations, and views from topical writers who cover women’s well-rounded lifestyle interests — cultural, political, and social issues; art and literature; design and entertaining; style and skincare. Forty percent of the website’s monthly visitors come from outside the DC/MD/VA area, with the largest percentage coming from other major cities.
“We are thrilled to begin our national expansion across the United States. AskMissA.com has been listening to our national readers,” says Andrea Rodgers, Editor-in-Chief of AskMissA.com. “While much of our topical content is universal, we recognize that our readers in other major cities have regional preferences and want local content. Our writers across the country will reflect the style and culture of their individual city.”
AskMissA.com is expanding across the nation’s heartland with new writers who, like Miss Rodgers, are in-the-know in their respective major city. New writers from New York, Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Miami, Palm Beach, Houston, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco will give her nationwide readers local content, while sharing the scoop about life in other cities with national readers. More readers are expected to “Ask Miss A” for help regarding their love and social lives, as this expansion is expected to increase the national reach of AskMissA.com tremendously.
“This isn’t just a makeover. It’s a true transformation,” says Mike Carson, also known as “Guy Friday” and AskMissA.com’s web producer. “The design improves the website, but maintains the Miss A brand. The new magazine layout allows readers to better access the diverse and extensive content on the site. The traditional blog format was much too limiting.”
