Verði “viral” eins og sagt er, vef færslur sem nýta tæknina sem okkar vefimiðill býður uppá. Þetta geta til dæmis verið myndagellerí með stuttum texta sem gaman er að renna í gegnum, örstutt myndbönd - sem fólki finnast sniðug og deila með tengslaneti sínu á samfélagsmiðlum, spurningaleikir (quiz) sem eru unnir upp úr fróðleik um viðfangsefnið, eða listagreinar með einhvers konar upplýsingum sem gert er ráð fyrir að lesandinn vissi ekki um (dæmi: 5 things you didn’t know about elfs) og með slíkum uppfærslum fylgja oftar en ekki ljósmyndir með myndatexta.

Við bjóðum upp á fjórar mismunandi miðlanir í þessum flokki; skrifuð færsla, myndagallerí, myndband eða gagnvirkur leikur. Markmiðið er að framleiða efni á síðuna fyrir auglýsendur sem við teljum að falli best að okkar lesendum.

WHO READS THE REYKJAVÍK GRAPEVINE?

Tourists

The Reykjavík Grapevine is first and foremost a tourist magazine. It is designed to guide and assist tourists, and its articles are written to provide tourists with an insight into Iceland's cultural life and national spirit. According to a survey conducted at Keflavík international airport, 33% of tourists that left the country from January through April had read The Reykjavík Grapevine during their stay.

38% of people surveyed from the United States had read The Reykjavík Grapevine and 45% of Britons in the group had read The Reykjavík Grapevine. Combined, these two groups make up half the foreign visitors to Iceland during the winter months.

Expatriates

There have never been as many New Icelanders residing in the country as today. They read the Grapevine to follow their own affairs, the local cultural life and to participate in and contribute to the local discourse. In the beginning of 2013 there were around 30,000 New Icelanders.

Icelanders

The Grapevine's fresh and uncompromising stance on covering local events and culture, along with its wide distribution network, ensures the magazine is very popular among Icelanders. According to a Gallup poll from March of 2008, 21.1% of Icelanders in their thirties read the magazine regularly.

Best Of Reykjavík

What is Best Of Reykjavík? Since 2009, the Best of Reykjavík has been issued as a part of the Reykjavík Grapevine’s publication schedule. The magazine contents and what is chosen as “best” is determined through the opinions of many. This special issue has been extremely popular in recent years, and in the summer of 2016, we decided to raise the bar by publishing Best of Reykjavík as an independent publication, four times per year. Best of Reykjavík covers restaurants, fast food joints, clubs, stores, services and other amusements. We emphasise those venues which we consider best in their category, which venues are in 2nd and 3rd place, along with the winners over the past five years. At the same time, we look ahead towards what places are likely to become the best. The categories are as follows: Dining & Grubbing Drinking & Nightlife Shopping & Commerce Activities & Fun times Reykjavík Institutions (i.e., establishments that are a deep-rooted part of Reykjavík history and culture) These categories are also divided into several subcategories. Best of Reykjavík aims to compile a comprehensive overview of everything that is “best” about Reykjavík for every part of the year. We believe it is crucial to provide this to our readers, to put various and sundry venues in a new context depending on who the reader is, how long they plan on staying in Iceland, and during which time of the year they are visiting. Editions and Distribution of Best of Reykjavík - 25,000 copies (100,000 per year*) - Tourist information centres - Major tourist destinations - Cornershops and stores - Cafés and restaurants - Hotels and guesthouses - Swimming pools and museums - Car rental agencies - Air Iceland airports around the country - Every Go Car Rental office Print days and issue periods February 17 - May 25 May 26 - August 17 August 18 - November 16 November 17 - February 15, 2018

Grapevine Map

These are pads of 50 maps each, which can be found in hotel lobbies all around downtown Reykjavík, in tourist information centres, and in shops that are popular with tourists. They have been popular with workers at these establishments because the paper is especially chosen to be easy to write directions on them (not glossy paper), and such workers often find themselves providing directions for tourists. We print about 1,000 map pads per year, 50,000 in total, and they are printed in June. Issues and distribution - 1,000 pads will be printed (50 maps in each pad) - Hotel lobbies and guesthouses in downtown Reykjavík - Tourist information centres - Popular shops and cafés in downtown Reykjavík Print days and issue periods June 9, 2017 - early June 2018

Grapevine Airwaves Special

The Iceland Airwaves festival will be held from November 1 - 4 next year, and we will as before publish a special Airwaves issue for the festival. The paper is very much its own creature - that is, not in accompaniment with copies of Reykjavík Grapevine - much like the Best Of issues. 25,000 copies of the Airwaves edition will be printed, and will be distributed on board all Icelandair flights through the festival, in addition to distributing the paper in the festival area; i.e. all music venues, cafés and restaurants downtown, and all ticket-holders will get a copy with their wristband. The Airwaves issue will have the full lineup and schedule, both main events and side venues, along with light reading material, such as where festival goers can go for food, drink and relaxation downtown. The Airwaves Special is printed in 25.000 copies and distributed at the following locations: - The seat pockets of Icelandair flights - Directly into the hands of ticket holders - Festival venues - Cafés, shops and restaurants downtown - Tourist information centres Print days and issue periods October 13 - November 5
