You’re local. So are we.
Launched in June 2010, the Prairie Village Post is the only hyperlocal news source serving northeast Johnson County, and is experiencing phenomenal month over month growth.
Our ad space is designed to provide local businesses with high visibility, high impact marketing opportunities that get results. When you advertise with the Prairie Village Post, you know you’re reaching thousands of young, well-educated, affluent readers every month. And best of all, you know they live within just a couple of miles of your store (trust us: people who live in other parts of the metro area wouldn’t be interested in our content…which is kind of the whole point).
What our readers are saying
We hear from local residents all the time about how happy they are to have an outlet solely focused on what’s happening in the area. Here’s just one of the dozens of emails we’ve received from satisfied readers:
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful website. It has quickly become a favorite in our Prairie Village household, not to mention our block. As someone who peruses various news and other websites throughout the day and night, I very much appreciate your dedicated and accurate focus on local happenings and developments relevant to our daily lives. I know this is no easy undertaking, but we very much appreciate and support your efforts. Thank you! Patrick, Prairie Village
Why advertise on the Web?
As newspaper circulation continues to decline, people are turning to the Internet as their primary news source. In fact, a Pew Research Center study found that the Web surpassed newspapers as an information source in 2008 — and use of the Web over newspapers has only grown since. Moreover, people who use the Web for their news tend to be younger and well educated, a sought-after demographic for small businesses.
But perhaps more importantly, people who use hyperlocal sites like PVPost.com report high degrees of trust and satisfaction with the coverage. A 2010 study from the Reynolds Journalism Institute at Mizzou found that 83 percent of people who use hyperlocal sites report being satisfied or very satisfied with them — which means hyperlocal readers are engaged with the content, and come back often to find out what’s going on in their communities. There isn’t a better way to reach local residents than with an ad on PVPost.com.
