Advertising opportunities
The Towson Flyer online news site is the go-to source to learn what’s happening around town. Towson-area residents rely on its coverage of new restaurants and stores, Baltimore County Public Schools updates, local politics, fun events around town, crime reports and more.
Advertising with The Towson Flyer means your message is featured on a site that people seek out and value. (No worries that your ad could go straight into the recycling bin with barely a glance.)
The flexible online format allows you to quickly change your ad to highlight a sale, an open house, a new product, an event, or anything else you’d like to promote.
See site stats, ad options, rates, and an FAQ below.
Sponsored post
A sponsored post is like a news article, but it's written to promote your specific business, organization, or event. The post will include a photo along with links to your website and/or social media accounts. Your post will be placed alongside news articles on the Flyer’s site and will be posted to the Flyer’s Facebook page and Twitter feed. It will also be included in the daily email blast to subscribers. The post will be labeled as sponsored content. The cost for a sponsored post is just $75 if you provide the text and photo. The fee is higher if reporting and writing are required, or if multiple photos and/or a slideshow will be displayed.
Keep the post top of mind by turning it into a "sponsored post ad," which will run for two weeks. This feature is an additional $75.
Social media blast
Do you have a sale or event coming up that you want to highlight? Or maybe you just want to spread the word about your business or a new product. With the "social media blast" option, your content will be posted directly to the Flyer's Facebook and Instagram pages and Twitter feed. $50
Add your event to the Flyer's calendar
The Flyer's popular calendar of events is a great way to let people in the Towson area know about an event you're hosting -- an open house, sale, wine tasting, etc. You may submit one event for just $15. Or post four events for $50.

FAQ
Q Will my ads be visible on mobile devices as well as desktop computers?
A Yes! Our ads are formatted such that ads appearing in the sidebar on a desktop computer also appear within the article on mobile devices. This means your ad won't be relegated to the bottom of the page for people who read the Flyer on their phones.
Q What's the difference between the "top spot" and "standard placement"?
A The top spot assures that your ad displays at the top of the sidebar, or is the top ad when displayed inside articles. Standard-placement ads rotate position every time the site is viewed.
Q I don't have an ad created yet; can the Flyer help?
A Sure thing. We can create an ad for you for an extra (very reasonable) fee.
Q How many readers to you reach?
A Take a look at the Flyer's media kit to see all the stats.
Q What are the size requirements for ads?
A Details are available in the media kit.
Q Are there pricing or placement options not listed above?
A Yes. We are happy to work with you to find a solution that is perfect for your business needs.
