Building Your Business
in Our Community

We don’t mean to be, but some months we are! We have many volunteers and some of us are paid.

Our two-touch program combines the trust and longevity of print with the reach and repetition of digital. All of our packages are custom because we build them around what you need. But generally speaking our pricing starts around $500/month.

A one month campaign works better as a “Call to Action”. This offer is usually made to clients offering a significant discount, such as Groupon. This attracts a very price conscious customer. That is not what we do. We show local businesses how to think like big brands, using a two-phased process of TOMA (top of mind awareness) and feeling good. We keep you present long-term month in and month out by combining the long term proven success model used by all major brands. Our sponsors have (at least) a 5-year plan for growth and many of them renew with us to continue their long term growth, staying visible and present in our community.

We allow charities to advertise with us for free and nonprofits at a nominal cost.

The problem with advertising many times is that companies are constantly saying “look at me” in a crowded market. They struggle with how to make themselves remarkable or memorable. In order to get attention, they think that they have lower prices, offer discounts and to expand the service area in order to be successful. We all know that people who pay the least complain the most. And there is no loyalty, the minute you are not the cheapest, they are on to another vendor.

Well, what we do is bring you more warm referrals and increase the word of mouth. Residents want to do business with our sponsors because they are trusted and reliable and because they care about our community, not solely based on price. There is a reciprocity, not a one way street.

In fact, a pool maintenance client, Atlantis Pools has been with me for 6 years. He has built his business up to 20 guys and 15 trucks while reducing the time on the road and eliminating the highways altogether. He is absolutely the preferred vendor for pool service in our area.

“Being a part of this wonderful publication has changed the way I see my business. Danville Living is run by good, local people who pour their heart and soul into making this a great local magazine. Thank you to Jo Peek for starting such a high-quality magazine in our community”
