Ask a local mail carrier about Marple Friends & Neighbors magazine and you’ll likely get some short answers. Do you ever recognize a family on the cover? All the time! When will the issue arrive? When you see it arrive! Can I get two magazines? No! And if you were to ask what the mail carrier would like to see on the back cover every month, you’d likely hear the same answer: Just something different!
Everyone who enjoys reading our magazine enjoys the simple pleasure of looking to see if they know the Marple residents on the cover of each new issue. But what if the new issue arrives with the back cover facing up, showing the Back Cover Sponsor’s advertisement? Our mail carriers know too well. Think of how many times our Back Cover Sponsor’s ad is seen, from the time it’s delivered by mail to the thousands of homes, until the next issue arrives, remaining on a countertop or tables all month, often with the Back Cover Sponsor’s ad facing up!
Thanks to our advertising Sponsors and our mail carriers, who combine their efforts in Bringing People Together through our hometown magazine’s unique brand of social-media-in-print, thousands of homeowners are mailed Marple’s free monthly magazine every month. Certainly our lead hometown Sponsor is our Back Cover Sponsor whose Back Cover Ad is seen extensively by the many thousands of readers of Marple Friends & Neighbors, in print and online at www.MarpleMag.com.
Now comes the fun part! Fun because we rarely change our Back Cover Sponsor, and this is where our Reader Leaders come forward. What is a Reader Leader? It’s any reader who helps us grow our advertising Sponsors, who in turn help us grow our magazine page count so we can add more monthly feature articles about Marple residents, organizations and businesses.
Let’s serve up our hometown magazine’s back cover in the months ahead for the benefit of a new Marple Friends & Neighbors Sponsor, whom Marple residents will consider doing business with first, in gratitude for making our free hometown magazine possible.
Who Should Be Our New Back Cover Sponsor of Marple Township Residents?
Might a new restaurant or a new bank coming to Broomall be rewarded as the Lead Sponsor of Marple residents? Will a Car Wash or a Pizza Shop be best? Should one of our Expert Contributors upgrade their sponsorship to our Back Cover? Or shall we add a new Expert Contributor with some new area of expertise such as Pet Care, Insurance, Home Remodeling, Investing or Real Estate, so their brand becomes recognized on the back of every copy of Marple Friends & Neighbors every month?
After our magazine arrives in homes every month, it typically remains on some table all month long, sometimes even upside down with the back cover up, with our Back Cover Sponsor’s ad close at hand month after month.
Reader Leaders: Who do you recommend for our new Back Cover Sponsor of our hometown magazine, Marple Friends & Neighbors? Let me know your thoughts by emailing me at BBlaisse@BestVersionMedia.com.
