For businesses & community partners

Be part of your community’s story.

Share your business news, support a regional newsletter, and introduce your business to people in the Maine communities you serve.

Have business news to share?

Local businesses are part of everyday community life. When something changes, your neighbors want to know.

Our Business Pulse coverage follows confirmed developments such as:

  • New business openings
  • Closures and changes in ownership
  • Relocations and new locations
  • Business expansions
  • Other significant local business changes

We also welcome announcements about community partnerships, nonprofit programs, fundraisers, and public events.

Include the business name, town, what is changing, when it happens, and a contact or source we can check. Submissions are reviewed for local relevance and accuracy. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Support local coverage. Build local connections.

Newsletter sponsorship gives your business a presence alongside useful local information while helping us continue serving Maine communities.

Ask about supporting a regional edition and introducing your business to readers in the communities you serve.

We’ll discuss the publication, available placement, what is included, and current pricing.

Section sponsorship

Ask about available newsletter sections that fit your business and the interests of local readers.

Sandy can help you explore the available options and choose a placement suited to your goals.
