Thanks So Much!!
Thanks so much for replying, and quickly too - really wasn’t expecting it to be honest. So yes, I have given…~ Paul H.
You’re a risk-taker, doer, and a vital part of our community. You understand the critical role that local businesses play as the backbone of our economy. You employ our neighbors, staunchly support other local businesses, and often give to nonprofits until it hurts so that our entire community can thrive.
Let’s face it, small businesses in our community need our support more than ever. The problem is, big box stores and corporate America are constantly trying to squeeze out the little guys.
And, while big tech platforms and media companies suck billions of dollars out of our local communities, they simply don’t care about our local businesses and non-profits.
At WhirLocal, we’re not a big tech media company, and we truly care about the success of our small businesses and non-profits.
Our community-based website
includes a digital magazine and local business directory. Our goal is to be a positive voice in and for our community with local journalism and promotional efforts to support all things local.
We also provide free promotional tools that empower our local businesses and non-profits to promote themselves in the neighborhood without the drama and distraction of social media.
Supporting our community through positive local journalism and providing promotional tools for small businesses and non-profits costs money, and let’s face it, we don’t have the budgets of Big Tech and Corporate Media. That’s why we need help from like-minded businesses like yours who also have a passion to support all things local.
By supporting our efforts to be a positive voice in our community, we in turn shine a spotlight on you as a community leader and help you grow.

Targeted Advertising in Magazine Articles
Imagine your business getting a special shout-out in stories and articles that are all relevant to the audience you’d like to reach. As our audience grows, so does the spotlight on your brand.
Automated Social Content with a Personal Touch
How would you like a social media assistant who can share articles that are relevant to your audience? We post interesting articles to your Facebook page and Google Business profiles 3-4x per month. When someone clicks on these articles, they’ll see that the piece is “sponsored” by your business.
The Neighborhood Sponsorship is designed for established and growing local businesses and non-profits who want to take a leading role in the local scene, boosting their online presence and visibility, reputation, social proof, and influence in the community, all while lifting others up along the way.
Great question. While we are not as well-known as big tech or corporate media platforms, we’re growing our presence in the community using a variety of methods, including:
As our brand awareness grows in the community, our Neighborhood Sponsors, Business Supporters, and even free users will all benefit.
The WhirLocal Neighborhood Sponsor package is like turning the volume up on your business’s community presence and influence.
Sponsorships start at just $2970 per year (or $297/mo)
Imagine you have a favorite local coffee shop where everyone knows your name, and you want to see it thrive, not just because you love their coffee but because it’s a vital part of your community.

That’s where our Business Supporter package comes in. At just $297 a year, you get to show your love for your local community and support our publishing efforts, while at the same time enjoying the following benefits.
In short, for less than the cost of a daily cup of coffee from your favorite local shop, you can join a community of like-minded businesses working together to make our local area a better place, get your business noticed more online, and build meaningful connections that help everyone grow together. It’s about being part of something bigger, where your business isn’t just a name on a list, but a key player in a thriving local ecosystem.
