Many readers of Marple Friends & Neighbors may not realize that they’ve become “Reader Leaders.” The first step is simple: recognizing the names of our advertising Sponsors and understanding that their support makes it possible for this magazine to arrive in your mailbox each month— free of
charge—and to be available online at MarpleMag. com.
You truly become a Reader Leader when you “get it.” And it’s not just when you realize you get this hometown magazine mailed to you and your friends and neighbors across Marple Township every month. It’s when you understand how Bringing People Together is happening monthly through our social-media-in-print. And when business owners “get it,” they see the value of being part of something that connects the community in a meaningful way. That’s when they choose to join as advertising Sponsors.
Our mission of Bringing People Together is rooted in delivering a simple pleasure: the enjoyment of sitting down each month with a magazine that celebrates our town and the people in it. For thousands of residents, it has become an anticipated monthly simple pleasure—made possible entirely by the financial commitment of our advertising Sponsors.
Reader Leaders also play an important role in helping us grow. Introducing new local businesses to the magazine is often easy because so many of them rely on Marple residents for their success. When business owners understand how much homeowners value this publication—and see that readers intentionally support the companies that advertise—the circle is complete.
Thanks to your loyalty, our advertising Sponsors know their investment in this community is worthwhile. Local businesses depend on us to help grow their visibility and strengthen relationships. And in turn, we depend on them to help sustain and grow our free hometown magazine. Together, we keep Broomall connected by Bringing People Together.
