Sponsor Rural News Wire
Get your business in front of locals every morning, in the towns that matter to you.
What sponsoring Rural News Wire looks like
Rural News Wire publishes a daily local news digest for each town we cover. Every digest goes out to subscribers in that community and lives permanently on the site, indexed by Google. Sponsors are featured directly inside the digest (your business name, a short message, your link, and a call to action) appearing in every daily edition for the duration of your sponsorship.
We use category exclusivity: only one realtor per town, one marina, one restaurant, one law firm. When you sponsor, your competitors can't.
Pricing
| Slot | Placement | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Top of the digest, right after Ty's Take | $100/week or $350/month |
| Mid-Digest | Between source sections | $50/week or $175/month |
| Both Slots | Maximum visibility in every digest | $135/week or $475/month (save 10%) |
You choose the towns. Sponsorship is per-location, so a Lake of the Ozarks business can sponsor just the LOZ digest, while a regional business can sponsor multiple towns at once.
Why sponsor Rural News Wire early
Rural News Wire is in its growth phase. SEO is compounding daily as new digests get indexed, audiences are forming around each location, and category slots are filling on a first-come basis. Founding sponsors lock in at today's rates and keep them as the network grows. When a competitor calls in six months and the rate is higher, you're still in.
