Promote your business

Share your business with families who love books.

Our Home page has a “Businesses we love” section, where Sam & Rita feature local and Black-owned businesses that support our community. Your business could be next.

What you get.

  • A card on our Home page

    Your logo or a photo, your business name, a short line about what you do and a button to your website or social page.

  • Your dates

    Your ad runs for the dates you choose. It goes up and comes down on its own.

  • Clearly marked

    Every ad carries a “Sponsored” label, so readers know it’s a paid spot.

  • Room to stand out

    We show no more than three businesses at a time, so yours doesn’t get lost.
