Support Local with Advertise Local House Ads

News Media Canada is pleased to provide this series of ads for newspapers to download and publish in their print and digital editions.

This set of house ads is designed to encourage readers to shop local and support the advertisers that support their local newspaper and local economy.

Three quarters of newspaper readers (74%) believe it is important to support the advertisers in their local newspapers.

The pandemic put a lot of stress on small/independent business. Statistics from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) show that supporting local is critical to small business survival, now more than ever. Almost nine in ten (86%) business owners surveyed by CFIB feel that making an extra effort to shop local this year is critical to small business survival.  Data from the CFIB collected by Maru/Matchbox also shows that 95% of Canadians believe supporting small businesses is important in keeping the economy healthy.

The role that local advertisers play is more important than ever to keep communities and businesses thriving.
