Why advertise here?
Hyper-local reach
Every subscriber opted in specifically for Brant County news — people who live, work, and spend money here, not a broad audience served by an algorithm.
Inbox delivery every Sunday
Email subscribers are among the most engaged readers in any media format. They chose to be on this list — and local newsletters consistently outperform industry open-rate averages.
Trusted editorial context
Your ad appears alongside original local journalism, not clickbait. Readers associate that trust with the brands they see in The Bend Weekly.
Direct click-throughs
Every placement includes a direct link to your site or landing page. Track exactly how many readers click — no impression-only buys.
Where your ad appears
Every Sunday, the newsletter reaches inboxes in this order. Pick the spot that fits your message.
Email layout — top to bottom
Featured Sponsor
The very first thing every subscriber reads — a dedicated sponsor introduction at the top of the newsletter, presented as the week's issue sponsor.
Mid-Issue Sponsor
A contextual sponsor block placed mid-newsletter between sections — when readers are fully engaged and scrolling through the week's stories.
Full-Page Ad
A dedicated full-page spread inside the weekly email — your headline, image, body, and CTA with nothing competing for attention.
Banner & Sidebar
These placements appear on the website — banner above the fold on every page, sidebar persistent throughout browsing. Both are also included in the weekly email.
