Macon Sense is free to readers because it is supported by local businesses, nonprofits and more looking to gain exposure throughout Macon County (and beyond). As a locally-owned newspaper mainly focused on Macon County, we are a local favorite with an unlimited reach. As a digital newspaper, local, part-time residents and visitors can read us anywhere. And they will see your advertisement every time they visit the website to see the day’s headlines.
Unless noted, advertising slots are sold in 1-week increments (we publish new articles almost daily, and new advertisements as contracted).
Unique Digital Benefits:
- Free: Readers access the news free. No paywall.
- Not just one page: All advertisements appear on virtually every page (front page, around articles, etc.)
- Direct link: Your ad gives customers a direct link to your business website or social media page. All they do is click on your ad and they are immediately in your digital store front.
- Color: All ads are a beautiful 4-color design.
- Facebook special: Every Saturday, during our active viewing times, we honor a sponsor with a special post – “Sponsorship Saturday”. Your logo and website link prominently displayed with a brief description. As advertising grows, we could add “Sponsorship Sunday” too.
- All generations: It’s true! Young and old get their news and information from the internet, on mobile devices and tablets.
- Email special: Soon businesses can sponsor our growing email list.
- We grow, and your business grows: Your advertising helps us market Macon Sense. That means greater reach, and more people seeing your ad.
