Why should you advertise with
Virginia Greene and Greene Lite?

Since February 2006 we have regularly offered our readers pleasurable, entertaining and informative content. Our goal is to showcase the best of Greene County and encourage business, tourism and positive growth.

We live and work in Greene County and believe supporting all aspects of life in Greene to be of benefit to all of Greene. We also believe Greene is a treasure to be both shared and protected.

Although all of our advertising has been by word-of-mouth, we regularly receive 22,000+ hits a month and the number is growing. We have a distinct readership base of 2,000 which is growing by about 5% a month.

We were featured on NBC29’s Sunrise Standout in February 2007.  Our advertisers get the advantage of 20 years of writing and marketing experience..

Our reach is both near and far. Based on our traffic statistics, approximately 60% of our readers come from Virginia, mostly from within a 100 mile radius but including Reston, Fairfax, Woodbridge, Alexandria, Suffolk, Richmond and other cities.

We have received distinct regular hits from the National Ground Intelligence Center in Maryland and Virginia, several government agencies in D. C. and Virginia and military bases. We also receive distinct and regular hits from the University of Virginia both in Charlottesville and from other locations and from other universities.

Another 15% of our readers come from other states with our largest readership coming from Washington, D. C., Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Texas, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. We have reached almost all 50 states.

The final 25% of our readers are international including the biggest tourism exporters: Canada, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, China, Japan and Korea. We add countries weekly.

All of these percentages have remained consistent within the past 6 months. Almost all have showed growth and demonstrate daily visits from readers.

In 2008, our numbers have recently reached into 40,000+hits and 8,000+ page views in one month.

You have your own page. Why advertise on our pages?

A study released on June 11, 2006 showed that 25% of people got news and information from Network TV followed by 18% who received their news and information from online news and information sources.

Radio and major daily newspapers received only 12% and local community papers received only 8%.

Yet, for only $50 a month, your customers don’t have to turn on a television or radio at the moment your ad is playing and they don’t have to remember where they put their newspaper to get your information.

Your customers can go where most Americans now go for information – the Internet and the Web. They can get it at work, at home, at school, on their Blackberry or PDA, even on Internet capable phones.

Your ad goes to your customers so they can come to you.

Are they going to find us on the Internet? Google receives more than 71% of Internet searches and a Google search for Greene Virginia will list our website as third. Most business generated by web searches is in the first three listings.

But you have your own webpage.

Which works well if customers are searching for your specific product or service and you are one of the top three businesses appearing on the search results’ page.

By advertising with us, your customers learn about you before they know they need or want your product or service.

We update our content at least once a week and are working to add new content and sections of interest to our readers.

We target the demographic with the most, almost $3 trillion a year, money to spend – Baby Boomer Women. That is who we are (with the pleasant and most appreciated exception of supportive men and friends) and we know what we like. These same women are making most family decisions and are showing substantial growth in new businesses.

Studies show that readers contribute the same feeling they get from content to the advertisers of that content. Since our content is positive, informative and entertaining; our customers are likely to feel the same way about your businesses. All for $50 a month.

We get READ in Greene
And Virginia, the United States and the World

If we are so great, why don’t we charge more?

We love Greene County and we want it to grow and succeed. By keeping our rates low, we offer as many businesses as possible the opportunity to become one of our Center Yourself in Greene business partners.

By keeping our costs down, we can keep our rates low. Most business is done by phone and email. Even our invoices and other materials are done electronically to keep costs down. (Not to mention being environmentally conservative. We would like to keep Greene green.)

You can pay by cash or check and we will be adding PayPal services so you can even pay by credit card.

Our staff of 1 and 2/2’s supplemented by our supporters and friends also work to help us get the word out about Greene and keep our costs down.

Our goal is for all businesses in Greene to succeed, including ours. We truly believe:

If You Succeed; We Succeed.

IN ADDITION:  When we are out and about covering events and other activities in Greene, we use every opportunity to promote Greene tourism and business.
