“Curb Appeal.”

Compare publications. Choose one with reader appeal. The Front Porch carries a variety of interesting and easy-to-read stories that are illustrated with high quality photos (a good picture is worth 1,000 words).

Reader Interest.

All the stories in the Front Porch are on subjects that are close to home—and people want to know what’s happening in their own neighborhood. In addition the paper is packed with nearby events so readers check it throughout the month to find what’s happening. Advertise in a paper that people really read.

Excellent reproduction.

If the photos are consistently good, you can expect the reproduction of your ad to be consistently good. The Front Porch staff goes to the printing plant (even if it’s 3 am) to ensure that every issue looks good in print.

Timely Delivery.

The Front Porch is consistently distributed during the first week of each month. We stay in regular communication with our distributors to check which neighborhoods are completed each day.

Make your ad effective.

A newspaper is full of information competing for the readers’ attention. An ad with a simple bold message will draw readers’ attention better than an ad with lots of small type. Look at other ads to see which ones stand out on the page. A bold background color can help identify “your space” on the page, particularly for smaller ads. The Front Porch provides complimentary design service to create an effective ad.

Know your intended audience.

With a circulation of 33,000, the Front Porch is one of the largest community papers in metro Denver. Our detailed distribution map is posted on our website.

Cost versus benefit.

Calculate the cost per copy to compare cost with publications that have a different circulation. And advertise in a paper people read regularly or cost per copy doesn’t matter.

How often to advertise.

How well do you remember something you’ve seen once, twice, or three times. How well do you remember something you see or hear frequently? A recurring ad in a paper that people read regularly allows you to keep your business in readers’ minds when they need your product or service.
