BusinessLeadersMeetingFor almost two years the Spokane Faith & Values staff has been working hard to become part of the Spokane community. And our efforts have paid off!

Since our launch we’ve become an award-winning website with respectable traffic, have grown to include 45 local writers of multiple faith backgrounds, and have fostered community by hosting regular events.

You’re invited to come learn why this matters to local businesses and non-profits and how you can get involved. On Tuesday, Nov. 12, we will hold a number of informational seminars — each one less than an hour of your time — at Forza Coffee Company, 2829 E. 29th Ave.

Seminars will be held at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Please choose your time slot and let us know when you plan on coming by emailing tracysimmons@favs.news.

The Spokane Faith & Values team invites you to learn more about our news site and how it can help you market your product or organization.

As our marketing director, Wendy Schutz Gustofson says,
“Advertising with Spokane Faith & Values cuts right to the chase: we give you prime access to local community members and leaders who care about faith and values news, while you benefit from our steadily-growing audience, our extensive social media reach and our award-winning coverage.”

If you’re not sure about online advertising, consider this:

The latest research shows that advertising on community news sites is effective because companies can focus on a targeted audience instead of casting a wide net and hoping for minimal returns. Business News Daily recently cited that “49 percent of small- and medium-size business owners praised local advertising for the ability it has to drive new customers to their stores.” 

We look forward to meeting you on Nov. 12!

(A meeting will be held 9 a.m., Nov. 13, at Coeur Coffeehouse specifically for clergy).
