Events of all kinds can be submitted for consideration for A Little Beacon Blog's widely read Things To Do In Beacon Guides. Please fill out the form below for consideration. Because of space and time, not all events are accepted. We do have an Event Promotion Advertising Package that offers promotion at different levels and budgets. We designed this program for great exposure, and the investments made by all advertisers help A Little Beacon Blog do what it does!

OPTIONS FOR EVENT PROMOTION

CONSIDERATION FOR FREE:
You can submit your event for Free for a text-only listing (no description) to A Little Beacon Blog for consideration. You can do this for any event via our Event Submission Form below. All events are curated, so we don’t guarantee placement. What prompts us to publish an event?

We ask ourselves some questions before selecting to promote an event for free to our readers. Your event might be best served in our Event Promotion Ad Package.

Here are the tests we run it past:

  • Is this event primarily promoting your business? We’re sure it’s super cool, but is it really to sell your business? If so, you should be extra awesome and get an Event Promotion Ad Package.

  • Is this event super unusual? Like, are you doing a massive takeover of hula hooping somewhere, that may or may not have a financial incentive? This usually qualifies as a free event listing for us, and makes it into our curated list (free).

  • Is this an education event, like a real estate finances seminar, but you are a realtor? This would fall into the territory of promoting your business - which is great! - but does not qualify as a free listing. Do get an Event Promotion Ad Package and we are happy to promote and get the good word out.

  • Is this a fundraiser for a great cause? This usually qualifies.

  • Social Distancing: If this event is in person, how will you be marking social distancing and mask wearing? How will you be self-enforcing compliance from your event attendees?

    Please note, if this event is in person, we cannot guarantee a listing of it, if we think the social distancing compliance is not enough, or being taken seriously.

PAID:
Yay You for contributing to local media and helping us continue this publication! More importantly for you, you’re getting guaranteed placement (assuming it is an appropriate event…we reserve the right to reject a paid promotion), and you’re getting more visual exposure of it.

If you want guaranteed placement your ad (flyer) listed in the newsletter (and if you want to be SUPER AWESOME), with a description, then you can do so via the Event Promotion Ad Package.

Submission Guidelines

  • Deadline: The Wednesday a week prior to the event.

  • Pictures + Flyers + Descriptions: Graphics and full descriptions of events are only included for listings in our Event Promotion Package.

  • If accepted, your event will be listed in its respective guide and newsletter for that weekend.
