Reach Our Readers
Beacon is both gritty and pretty, new and old. The community here is diverse in color, style, interests, and income. A Little Beacon Blog’s relationship with our readers is tight, even when we don’t agree on every story covered, or how a story is covered.
Beacon is like a Wonderland, and we are constantly falling down rabbit holes, taking our readers with us. “You’re not going to be so Little anymore,” lamented one reader a few years after we started in 2011, when the development boom began.
The “Little” in ALBB signifies the little details in bigger stories, events, and experiences that we are fascinated by and our readers appreciate.
“My mom really appreciates what you are doing. I know you feel it sometimes, but we got you out here. I have three different IG accounts, so I see you and can support from different places.” said one reader. We had no idea his mother read ALBB. Or that she lived local!
Our readers love being inspired and in the know. Especially during times of harder news stories, our readers like the break our advertisers give them. Pretty visuals, event date announcements, education about how to do something in their lives, these are all draws.
ALBB’s readers want to hear from you, and see your support for the community. They may not pile on the Likes, but they see and take note. Thank you for your consideration!

DESIGN OPTIONS
You can supply your own design, or you can use our in-house design service to design an ad for you. Please keep in mind that ads designed for print don't necessarily work for web. Websites are small, so the words in your ad need to be BIG. Our design agency is called Katie James, Inc. and can be hired to design your internal print and digital needs for flyers, social media, ads in other publications, your entire website or logo, and more.
Design Ad Fee (optional): $250
Design Ad Tweak (optional): $150 (if you ran an ad before, but need to change a date or minor detail)
