Caribbean Life currently has an audited weekly distribution 125,000. The English-speaking Caribbean-American communities in New York City spend more than $37 billion annually, and numbers more than 1.5 million people. It is estimated that as many as 70% of all Caribbean Immigrants in the U.S. have settled in NYC. Currently through second and third generations, they make up a very progressive and upwardly mobile one third of the entire NYC African-American community, with a considerable entrepreneurial base. Caribbean Life can deliver this large responsive audience by maintaining the deepest penetration of any other weekly publication into that market, and can do so most cost effectively. Since their launch, Caribbean Life has grown from one edition to three, and quadrupled advertising lineage and average issue size. That advertising support is due in part to the presence of numerous local retailers who rely on their advertising dollars to produce response. Caribbean Life's success is a testament to the reach of the publication, and has attracted advertising from many local banks, institutions, and national accounts. Caribbean Life also has the largest Automobile Section of any minority newspaper in the region. This section allows auto stores to advertise, and consumers to shop from a vast selection of new and used vehicles. This section adds as many as 20 pages to most issues, thus bolstering readership and adding to the growing popularity and success of the publication.In addition to the founding Brooklyn edition which has a distribution of more than 45,000 papers, Caribbean Life has a Queens/Long Island edition with a distribution of 40,000, and a Manhattan/Bronx/Westchester Edition with a distribution of 40,000. Based on Caribbean Life's total distribution of 125,000 weekly papers and a 2.5-pass-along factor, national and regional advertisers can target a readership of more than 300,000 people.Covering the communities of Flatbush, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy, Canarsie, Cambria Heights, Jamaica, S.
