Title Synopsis
Drift Surfing is the new incarnation of a once modest British magazine started in 2006. Now exclusively online, the idea is to create an open venue for shared creative output, focusing on what’s happening both in and out of the water. We seek out the perspectives of innovators, instigators, inventors and icons in hopes of gaining a broader perspective on the continually changing culture surrounding surfing.

Editorial content and staff
Drift Surfing is 100% reader driven and employs no salaried staff. The audience and following has been built over 8 years of curating quality content.

Advertising Sales
Advertising sales revenue is achieved by reputation only, we do not actively market or sell advertising. Brands come to us.
We also have a CRM with approx 350 contacts for advertising in the UK surf industry and some European and US contacts.
Current monthly average is $900 although we do not actively engage in media sales. During 201-2011 the monthly average was $1400.

Technology and hosting
The web site is Wordpress/custom code based.
Advertising delivery is achieved with Revive advertising platform for media sales, included in the package.
PHPList is the email marketing platform.

Traffic and assets
The site has just short of 20,000 subscriber emails which achieves a 10% open rate each broadcast, harvested from surfing competitions, email subscriptions and can be used by a third party.
Facebook fan page has 7030 likes and reached the maximum 5000 friends, with 650 friends waiting for confirmation. The account needs moving to a business page.
Twitter has 2008 followers.
Traffic has dropped from it's peak of around 20,000 uniques/month as we do not actively broadcast newsletters any longer, which generated a large proportion of the traffic.

the .com domain is owned by our partner in the US who is also looking to sell.
