This year Marple Friends & Neighbors will continue to grow our partnerships with local business leaders who are the advertising Sponsors of Marple Township Residents now taking us toward our fifth anniversary of publishing your hometown monthly magazine. That partnership with our hometown Sponsors has always included You!
After nearly five years now, if you’re reading this, you likely look forward to a new issue of our free, feel-good, hometown magazine arriving in your mail every month. In 2023 twelve new issues will continue to serve our magazine motto and mission to be a catalyst for “Bringing People Together.” You know we call it: “Social-Media-in-Print.” That’s just what it is, what you experience monthly as a regular reader. And that makes you an important part of our Bringing People Together partnership with our advertising Sponsors. The part that comes easy to you and most of us, is having hometown pride, and that natural instinct to be loyal to those who have been loyal to us.
Ever since we launched Marple Friends & Neighbors in 2018, readers have told us how reading the local features in our magazine is like meeting new neighbors in the community they did not know well, including local business leaders, whose sponsorship of our exclusive publication for Marple Township residents can be seen on every page. Those local business owners have also told us how every month our readers are rewarding the decision to use their marketing budgets for Marple residents, and not just because they are important to the success of their business, but also because the uniqueness of our magazine truly is Bringing People Together – readers with other readers, friends and neighbors, and business owners with their current customers and new customers needed to keep local businesses, in business.
When the news of the day brings fears over the economy or political debate, we all find ourselves at risk of failing to remain happy, and feeling good about all that we do have, with hope in a very Happy New Year ahead. Our “Bringing People Together” mission brings this back through recollection of hometown pride found on our pages, in our feel-good feature articles that drive loyalty to our community, friends and neighbors and our local businesses.
In this new year, let hometown pride drive your loyalty to our advertising Sponsors, whose products and services you need. Let’s make a New Year’s Resolution together: to commit to being even more loyal to our friends and neighbors, to our Broomall community, and to the businesses we see supporting our needs and our local community, especially those businesses who make our hometown “feel-good” magazine possible in print and online at www.MarpleMag.com.
Whenever possible in 2023, Shop Local. Return the loyalty you see our advertising Sponsors showing us through the pride they have in Marple residents who they depend on to succeed in business. In that way you will be contributing to the mission of your hometown magazine in the partnership we have to be Bringing People Together.
