Check out your membership renewal specials

Aloha, MFCP Members!
That's the classic island greeting that means "Hello" and so much more. It conveys love, peace, and compassion—values that resonate deeply within the free community paper industry. This year, "Aloha" is also the theme of our Summer Leadership Summit, where we will embrace these values in all our activities and discussions.

For those of you heading to our Summer Leadership Summit, you're in for a treat. The ideas you'll gather, along with the friendships you'll forge or strengthen, will serve you well for years to come.
This month, I have two great advertising specials to share with you:

Special 1: Each year, after paying their membership invoice, members receive two free classified ad coupons to use between July 1 and June 30th.

The MCN network classified ads have a 1.4 million reach and a suggested retail value of $249. But, as a paid member, you get to use two of them per year for free! Other members have found that these coupons are perfect for enticing new advertisers to try something different, rewarding existing customers, or just strengthening a sale. The important thing is to make sure you use them and not let them go to waste!

Below is an actual FREE MCN ad that was submitted by Sarah Thelen, Freeborn County Shopper. How wise of her to put this free member benefit to use in a way that helps strengthen her relationship with one of her existing advertisers! What advertiser do you have that could benefit from reaching a broader audience?? Hint- use a coupon!

Special 2:  We're also offering a bonus for any advertiser that purchases our 2x2 display ad. With each 2x2 ad purchased, the advertiser will receive a free 30-word classified ad (with the same ad info as the 2x2).

The 2x2 ad network reaches over 1.1 million homes and businesses, providing a wide audience for your message. Additionally, the MCN classified ad reaches 1.4 million homes and businesses, ensuring your customers' ads get noticed. The suggested retail selling price of the 2x2 is $600. There is no charge for the 30-word classified so I'm sure you will agree this is a great value for our advertisers. Note: this offer is valid through August 2024, so be sure to take advantage of it soon!

Greg Birkett from the Dubuque Advertiser took advantage of this benefit with the following ad.  Click here for a sample of his 2x2.
