Advertise Locally

Longmeadow Neighbors magazine April 2022 cover

If you’re a business seeking to raise brand awareness in residential areas, start with us.

By sponsoring one of our magazines, you’re helping us spread positivity and helpful information to thousands of readers every month. Our loyal readers appreciate what you do – and they love returning the favor by supporting you. We’re bridging the gap between businesses and residents by featuring your brand next to local content. Readers are loyal to businesses that share their values.

Advertising with our publication tells your neighbors that you support the local community and everyone who calls it home. As one of our magazine sponsors, you have the opportunity to strategically position your brand alongside this positive and uplifting content on a monthly basis.

Our publications reach markets with the most discretionary income and the highest rates of home ownership. These audiences are more likely to read our magazines and, in doing so, see your sponsorship of the local publication. Our readers are more likely to feel secure about their ability to ride out current and future bumps in an economy. When consuming at near-pre-recession levels during tougher times, they are more selective and tend to stick with brands they know and trust.

Here are a few reasons why branding your business through local content makes a big difference:

  • Local stories bring people together: we take great pride in sparking these new relationships and forming bonds between neighbors in the community

  • Readers support our sponsors: our readers enjoy supporting the local businesses who make our magazines possible – and this saves our clients valuable time which they can spend on their other key responsibilities

  • Local = Loyal: our readers are loyal to businesses that share their values

  • Awareness and loyalty: become the go-to source for a product or service in the community

  • Organic growth: our ads build repeatable brand consistency that creates top-of-mind awareness in the community

  • The credibility factor: becoming a credible source in the neighborhood is a competitive advantage that will help grow your business

  • Print media is alive and well: we have a high open-rate with targeted distribution which offers excellent positioning for our clients’ ads

  • Combining print and digital advertising: we provide multi-channel advertising through print and media that is consistent with your messaging
