Many of our members offer full editorial publications while others are strictly shopping guides. Along with their core publications, a great variety of quality niche publications are available to reach target demographics. Community Papers of Michigan’s member publications range in size from 3,000 circulation within one edition,
to 596,000 in 19 editions! The markets covered include Greater Detroit to Traverse City, Niles to Gaylord, Grand Rapids to The Thumb and virtually everywhere in-between with a total of over 1 million combined circulation each week!
Some of these publications have remained in the same family for generations, others are owned by the largest newspaper companies in the Country. While each market and publication is unique, all have one thing in common, they offer the absolute best value in print available in the state with a loyal local readership second to
none.
It’s the combination of our member’s high receivership and readership which provides you with a solid return on your advertising investment!
Community Papers of Michigan offers statewide classified, display and pre-print networks. We specialize in working with our clients to meet their individual needs by assembling custom buys targeting only the areas of the state they want to reach. This allows our customers to work with one person to reach one or dozens of markets. We offer high-quality – effective print and electronic advertising solutions with one order, one invoice, one check convenience.
As circulation numbers continue to fall at metro daily newspapers, our members’ publications represent the largest audited circulation in most of their Michigan markets with numbers remaining stable and in some cases, they have increased their coverage area or added editions!
We look forward to working with you to showcase your client or business to our vast readership across the state.
