- New Shopping Source for TALL Men and Women -

TALL magazine, the only lifestyle magazine targeting the needs of the more than 14 million men 6’2" and taller and women 5’9" and taller (and tall teens), has officially launched www.thetallmall.com, offering over 350 individual tall-friendly retailers and service providers.

TheTallMall.com has been a special project that Everard Strong, TALL magazine’s 6’9" publisher, has been working on for the past couple of months, collecting, compiling and sifting through a myriad of resources. Everard feels now is the time to unveil www.thetallmall.com to an eager and waiting public.

"The one question you most hear from tall men and women is, ‘Where can I find clothes or services that fit me and my unique lifestyle?’" says Everard, who includes himself in this group. "I created TheTallMall.com to answer that question. If you are a tall man, woman, teen, or infant, TheTallMall.com will be your first stop when looking for clothes, footwear, furniture, or other tall-friendly resources."

The site is divided into 11 different categories: Men’s, Women’s, and Young Women’s Fashions, Health and Fitness, Services & Travel, Office, Footwear, House and Home, Toddlers and Infants, and Sport and Recreation. Currently, the Men’s’ Fashion area alone lists over 220 individual retailers and store locations, and the Women’s over 110 individual listings.

As comprehensive as the listings are, the site was designed to grow and expand as new "discoveries" are added by shoppers and retailers. For shoppers, he offers a simple way for them to recommend their favorite store; For retailers and service providers, TheTallMall.com offers a free basic listing on the site, and for a very small fee, their listing can be expanded to offer more information.

"I believe that TheTallMall.com offers maximum visibility for retailers looking to attract tall customers," says Everard, "While at the same time offering tall men, women, and teens a convenient, central location to find all of their tall-friendly resources."

TALL Magazine, launched in February, 2004, is a bi-monthly lifestyle publication devoted to men 6’2" and taller, and women 5’9" and taller (and teens) that represent the "tall community," which currently numbers over 14 million members in the United States alone. Covering an array of topics, each issue includes profiles and interviews with celebrities and personalities, a colorful fashion section, reader-submitted articles, regular columns on health, teen issues, back problems, "Tall Things Considered" (tall-friendly product reviews), and a new feature, "Hands All Over," which reviews products and gadgets for bigger hands. The magazine is available in either a tabloid-sized printed version or as a custom PDF version, complete with embedded clickable URLs on links and images.

TALL’s online counterpart, www.TALLmagazine.com, provides non-commercial community resources, a personals section, chat room, discussion board, and subscription and advertising information. TALL Magazine is located at 360 Grand Avenue, #474, Oakland, CA 94610.

See what's new, what's exciting and what's coming up in the issues yet to come.

Updates:

• Articles Are Easier To Find Than Ever!
  We have just concluded the creation of our Article and Author Database. Now, in addition to looking through each issue for articles, you can look at all articles from all issues that are associated with a specific category. You are bound to find many articles of interest that have been here all along...but you just couldn't find them.
   
  Another great feature is sorting the articles by Author. Now you can easily find all the articles ever written by your favorite authors...and for those of you with website content needs, the article reprint rights are clearly specified as to whether you can freely place the articles on your website as well.
   
  Visit our Articles sorted by Category.

Opportunities:

• One aspect of our magazine that often includes massive searching and time consuming modifications, is the selection and creation of our magazine cover. Since the cover is a large image, many of the images submitted to us along with articles, cannot be considered.
• We would like to encourage artists and photographers to select or create images that would be great for use as our cover and send them to us for review. Each approved and used image would include an acknowledgement and link back to the authors website or e-mail address. Since our magazine is released seasonally, we generally search for indoor, outdoor or creative abstracts of each season. You will be welcome to send as many selections as you desire, providing they follow the guidelines below
  • The image must be at least 750 pixels wide and 900 pixels tall, without having been stretched to that size. Clarity is important.
  • Since our magazine title and main topics exist on the left side of the cover, it's best if that area is not "busy" to the point where it is difficult to read. If you look at most of our cover images, you will see what we mean.
  • For images that are of different dimensions, your images will be cropped, not stretched to fit. Also, for images that are much larger than needed, we will proportionally resize them to the proper size and then crop as necessary.
  • Send all submissions in jpg, bmp, psp or tif format. If you do use JPG, do not compress more than 15%.
