A “Community Based Approach” to Grow Your Business
We are offering you a partnership relationship with reciprocity rather than a one-way street that most advertising offers. Our sponsors are chosen in the area of reputation, customer service and expertise. Residents want to do business with our sponsors because they are trusted and reliable and because they care about our community. We offer a unique and effective way for you to stay visible and present in our community and continue to be a good community partner. We put you on every kitchen counter, every coffee table, as well as every laptop, and mobile device.

Our two-touch program combines the trust and longevity of print with the reach and repetition of digital. The expert contributor position allows you to write an educational piece that positions you as the expert in your field, builds name recognition and builds trust with our residents. We only allow one expert contributor per specialty, so don’t miss out!.

Our two-touch program combines the trust and longevity of print with the reach and repetition of digital. All of our packages are custom because we build them around what you need. But generally speaking our pricing starts around $500/month.
A one month campaign works better as a “Call to Action”. This offer is usually made to clients offering a significant discount, such as Groupon. This attracts a very price conscious customer. That is not what we do. We show local businesses how to think like big brands, using a two-phased process of TOMA (top of mind awareness) and feeling good. We keep you present long-term month in and month out by combining the long term proven success model used by all major brands. Our sponsors have (at least) a 5-year plan for growth and many of them renew with us to continue their long term growth, staying visible and present in our community.
Well, what we do is bring you more warm referrals and increase the word of mouth. Residents want to do business with our sponsors because they are trusted and reliable and because they care about our community, not solely based on price. There is a reciprocity, not a one way street.
In fact, a pool maintenance client, Atlantis Pools has been with me for 6 years. He has built his business up to 20 guys and 15 trucks while reducing the time on the road and eliminating the highways altogether. He is absolutely the preferred vendor for pool service in our area.
