Advertise in Shaker Life and tap into the buying power of Shaker Heights residents.

Shaker Life explores the many reasons why Shaker Heights is Cleveland’s most desirable and prestigious suburb. We focus on quality of life — the people, neighborhoods, homes and real estate, schools, natural beauty, and recreational and cultural amenities. We also highlight the City’s focus on redevelopment of its commercial districts into thriving mixed-use neighborhoods.

Shaker Life advertisers have the unique opportunity to reach a very special market: approximately 16,500 homes and hundreds of businesses in the Shaker Heights City School District. The combined educational, professional, and income profile is exceptional (see below). An additional 2,500 copies are mailed or delivered to real estate companies, universities, law firms, hospitals and corporations, reaching that difficult to find but very fruitful, affluent relocation market.

Shaker Life offers 100% saturation of this valuable eastside market, including opportunities for advertising on shaker.life, the new Shaker Life website.
