Circulation
Our circulation is built around the movers and shakers in our individual communities. We strategically introduce our social news and communication approach to community leaders, civic groups, school boards, city officials, volunteers, PTA presidents, and local businesses and engage them by encouraging community news contributions. We generate participation by providing somewhere they can connect locally in a single place — to not only find their local news, but to also share it.
Multi Media Exposure
Each of our communities has an email newsletter, which serves as a daily digest of new articles published from your last 24-hour news cycle.
Each of our communities has a news website, which provides a communication hub for the community to contribute and find their news in real time.
Every package includes native text ads that are emailed out daily in your area’s email newsletter and online banner ads that are displayed on your area’s news website.
Content
Content is one of the best ways to relate to customers, search engines and other players in the digital ecosystem. Advertisers are invited to submit content via Advice Connect to our editors for consideration for distribution.
Advice Connect is a full content management system with a direct link into BubbleLife.com.
Intense Local Visibility
BubbleLife has fewer advertisers to compete with than larger media players, giving our advertisers better opportunity for conversions. Our ads are much more local and can be segmented to a specific audience.
BubbleLife provides online and email exposure to thousands of people daily by leveraging the popularity of local news and our unique Hyperlocal News Platform.
BubbleLife’s daily email newsletters, online news websites and native ad opportunities, showcased alongside local news, give advertisers a community focused strategic advantage to build mindshare in high-quality local audiences.
