Stars and Stripes delivers an exclusive military audience, some 200,000 of whom will leave active service in 2025. They will be looking for a wide range of services while making their transition to civilian life, from career guidance to housing, health insurance, education and training.
Our active-duty readers are young (nearly 60% under age 40), married (75%) and raising families (44%) — and Stars and Stripes is an important and trusted source for news and information. In a recent survey, forty-six percent said they “expect companies that advertise in Stars and Stripes to be of high quality.”*
The Stars and Stripes Transition Guide provides this active and engaged audience with tips and insights for making a successful transition from military to civilian life—and provides a highly targeted means of promoting the ways in which your business can support their new life goals. Distribution of 350,000 copies includes stateside military bases, Education Centers in Europe and Pacific, plus insertion in Stars and Stripes Mideast, Europe and Pacific newspaper editions.
