FORT
COLLINS
MAGAZINE
The Idea
DFC Magazine was created by a Group of Old
Town Merchants in 1999. Inspired by
The Santa Fe Catalog, a publication that
featured merchandise of local businesses in a
classy presentation, the magazine was first pub-
lished in the spring of 2001.
this was the news!
DFC adopted, then evolved this format to re-
flect our community with pricing that would en-
able ALL businesses to participate. The choice
for covers would always be exciting art so that
it never would feel dated. Therefore, custom-
ers would hold onto the magazines indefinitely.
That gave the magazine EXTREMELY VALUABLE
SHELF LIFE. The magazine’s quality design was
enhanced by print on high-end glossy paper
in order to be a standout above other maga-
zines. In time, businesses from Loveland, Gree-
ley, Windsor, La Porte and Wellington became
involved. After 20 years it’s charm continues to
serve the Northern Colorado community.
DFC with its Classy Art Covers NOW has a Huge
Fan Base. Thanks for Being a Fan!
Happy Holidays!
