📣 Calling all local business owners! 💛
Something exciting is coming to our community! 🫶🏼
A local magazine, Neighborly Notes Magazine, is in the works to highlight the things that make our area so special: small businesses, events, resources, & the amazing people behind them! 🫶🏼 This will be the go-to guide for residents looking to stay connected & support local.
Starting Chatterbox Bakery has shown me just how much community support means. Every share, visit, recommendation, & kind word truly makes such a difference. 🥹 This is such a fun way to help others discover & support more local businesses.
If you’re a local business owner looking for a new way to connect with our community, this is definitely something you’ll want to check out. 🫶🏼 Don’t miss the chance to be featured in something truly so special!
Here’s to supporting local & cheering each other on. 💛
🎉PROUDLY SERVING EAST ALABAMA, WEST GEORGIA, & SURROUNDING AREAS! 🎉
📣 Introducing Neighborly Notes Magazine! 📣
Neighborly Notes Magazine was created with one simple goal:
To provide AFFORDABLE advertising opportunities for local businesses in the East Alabama, West Georgia & surrounding areas, all while creating a community-focused publication that celebrates the people & their businesses, our local places, memorable stories, & the events that make East Alabama & West Georgia so special. Publishing THE GOOD only, because we all need a little pick-me-up sometimes!
💥& the best part?! THE MAGAZINE IS COMPLETELY FREE TO LOCAL READERS!! That simply makes the advertising you’re purchasing, even more accessible to our audience! 👏🏻
Most small businesses simply cannot afford the high cost of the advertising that is offered in our surrounding areas. We believe local businesses deserve an opportunity to be seen, recognized, & supported without spending thousands of dollars to do so.
Each quarterly issue will feature:
🏆 “Community Crown” Awards: recognizing outstanding local businesses, organizations, & individuals
📖 Good News, local stories & community highlights
📅 Upcoming local events & celebrations- such as birthday & anniversary shoutouts
🧩 Word searches, crosswords, brain games, low-cost family activities & easy, DIY crafts for our kiddos
🍽️ Recipes & local favorites
🐾 Pet features
❤️ Community recognition
🆓 Activities, meals, & other no-cost things for our local families & children to enjoy no matter the household income
🛍️ Affordable advertising & sponsorship opportunities for businesses of all sizes
You will be able to purchase basic ad spaces OR sponsor the activities, listings, specific pages, etc listed above!
✨Interactive Sponsorship Opportunities Available!Sponsored puzzles & activities can be customized with words and themes related to your business, or designed around local events, holidays, seasons, community topics, & local individuals.
🎉 For example: If you’re a mobile detailing business, your sponsored word search could include your business name along with words such as detail, foam, wash, wax, shine, microfiber, & other industry-related terms. Sponsors may even suggest specific words they’d like included (time permitting).
This creates a more engaging experience for readers while providing additional exposure for your business beyond a traditional advertisement!
Our mission is to connect local families with local businesses, while creating something the entire community can enjoy & AFFORD!
Whether you’re a business owner, community organization, event coordinator, artist, writer, photographer, or simply someone who loves supporting local, we’d love to have you be part of Neighborly Notes.
This is only the beginning, & we’re excited to grow alongside the communities that we serve.
