Content-Driven Revenue Solutions |
The first package in the new America's Newspapers program to help members generate advertising revenue will be available tomorrow. Rates begin at just $110 and are based on your newspaper's circulation.
We are partnering with the award-winning team at Content That Works to provide members the opportunity to launch high-quality and advertiser-ready content packages in their markets. Each month, there will be a new content package delivered on a highly relevant and sellable topic.
These content packages are fresh and produced by professional journalists. Up-to-date and new with each release, the stories are never sponsored or considered “advertorial.” You can customize the content to publish however you please — whether it’s for feature content in ROP print, digital or as a standalone section. Run the content all at once or over several weeks; the choice is up to you.
The July package will focus on home improvement and remodeling — perfect to advertise local hardware, paint and landscaping, as well as contractors and other segments.
Topics will include: mapping out your renovation plans, today's top tile styles, staying on budget during your remodel and more!
