February 20, 2009Ad networks help sell your community

Sell your community!

Are there offices for a chamber of commerce, economic development or visitor’s bureau within the marketing area of your newspaper? Do you know if there exists a fair board, festival committee or special event coordinator around the communities you serve?

If you answered no, you are not looking hard enough. Check out these sites to see what your community is promoting without you.

If you answered yes, they want you to tell them about the statewide advertising packages you can sell them. They want you there today as they are planning budgets now.

Statewide advertising through Missouri Press Service is the most cost efficient way for a community to get people to any seasonal attraction or special event as well as entice business owners and developers to check out the town. When their ad is put in front of hundreds of thousands of people, they will see the results they hoped to receive.

Brochures for you to take to these folks to assist you in selling the ads are available from Missouri Press Service. Just call and ask!

Don’t leave any money on the table when you can promote beyond your newspapers reach – sell statewide networks advertising!
