For Advertisers

Why advertise with EMNA?

Let’s face it — local print newspapers are going to way of the dodo. The best way to reach customers who shop, eat out, or look for a new home in their area is through the local news websites that have replaced papers — and EMNA has gathered a dozen of them with more than 400,000 monthly users (unique visitors) to allow one-stop shopping for area advertisers. 

  • Meet engaged customers where they are — the people who are reading local online news and looking for goods and services in their area.
  • Drive customers directly to your site — Ads and property listing links go directly to your business’s home page (or whatever page you like). 
  • Target people who are relocating within the area — The majority of house moves occur within the same town or region (see date from the National Association of Realtors, Move.org and Flatrate.com). This is why local news sites and EMNA are the perfect starting point for prospective home buyers.
  • Talk to your prospective customers directly — The EMNA website will feature blog posts with insights about local markets and trends as well as consumer advice.
