Have you noticed some changes in our Marketplace over the last few months?

In the past, we’ve brought you representatives from all over the spectrum of direct sales: personal care, essential oils, skincare, nutrition and more. We love our direct sales consultants, but we want to share even more of what our community has to offer to you. As an entrepreneur, you often put your blood, sweat, and tears into your business. Share your “baby” with us so everyone else can know what great things you have to offer. We love to have a broad range of products and services for our readers. Do you have your own handyman business? Are you a life coach? What unique talents does your small business bring to the community? We’d love to get to know you!

Our Marketplace features a beautiful layout to make it easy for customers to view your ad.

In our print edition, we have switched away from newsprint to glossy paper. The high-quality paper makes your ad pop even more. Your ad will be directly delivered to 15,000 homes and businesses in Chugiak and Eagle River, and 2,000 additional copies are in kiosks throughout Anchorage and the MatSu Valley. But don’t forget our website! Marketplace ads rotate through the sidebar on all pages of our site. Our website also has a dedicated directory for the Marketplace, where viewers can search for businesses based on categories. This makes it easy for them to find the exact service or product they need. And perhaps my favorite Marketplace perk is the Spotlight section. We rotate through all of our small business owners in the Marketplace, to get to know you and your business even better. This fun feature is published in both our print edition and on our website.
