Advertise & partner

Chambers and community organizations

This is the other kind of partnership, and it is not a placement: a chamber of commerce, a library, a recreation district, a historical society or a volunteer group working with the guide for its town so the guide is right and the organization's work reaches the people it is for. Nothing in it is for sale and nothing in it buys a place in the listings.

• Share verified events. You send the events your members and your calendar carry, from the organizer's own page or your own; the guide lists them with the source named and the day it was checked, free, under the same rules as every other listing.
• Send corrections, openings and closures. You tell us when a business opens, moves or closes, or when a listing is wrong; we check it against the business's own page and fix it, usually within a day or two, and log the change where readers can see it.
• Coordinate seasonal guides. You tell us what your town is planning for a season (a holiday market, a summer concert series, a parade) early enough for a guide to carry the dates and the facts; we write it from the organizers' own pages and keep it current.
• Start small. Email hello@insidethetowns.com with your town and one thing you would like to try first: a season, a calendar, a correction. We reply with what the guide can do and what we would need from you. The example below shows one shape that could take.

What stays the same whoever we work with: the guide decides what it lists and how it describes it; nothing is ranked for a partner; a sponsor, if there is one, is labeled as one and sits beside the listings, never inside them; and no guide is affiliated with, endorsed by or speaking for a chamber, a town or any organization, which the editorial policy says and each guide's About page repeats.

Founding network sponsor

One labeled sponsor line across the whole network, for a business that serves the corridor rather than one town. The line carries one sponsor at a time, for a three-month minimum, at a founding rate offered until the network publishes a rate card.

• “Nearby this weekend, presented by” your name, on that block on the 20 of the 21 guides that have a neighboring guide, each weekend its neighbors have something on. The block is built from the neighbors’ one-off listings and is not drawn on a weekend with none, and Leadville has no neighboring guide yet, so no block.
• The same line on every This Weekend page, each guide’s and the network’s.
• A labeled sponsor line in the Thursday email.

Each line sits beside the listings, labeled, never inside them, and buys nothing in them. The founding rate is not published yet: email hello@insidethetowns.com and ask for it.

What’s available

• A labeled “presented by” slot on a town’s events page, which lists what is on each week.
• A sponsor block on a town’s Moving here page, the guide’s page for people about to move there.
• Network-wide sponsorship across all 21 live guides, for anyone serving the whole corridor rather than one town.
• A labeled slot in the weekly email, beside the listings and never inside them.

Some neighboring towns share one weekly email: Windsor, Severance and Timnath. Each of those emails carries one sponsor line, so it reaches every town in it, while the events and Moving here placements on each town’s guide are still sold town by town.

Audience

Counting began September 19, 2026. Ask, and we will send what has actually been counted for the towns you care about, with the dates it covers: visits to the guides and, for the weekly email, subscribers and opens. Small towns are small, and the figures will say so. Nothing is projected or estimated, and no number goes on this page until it can be dated and checked.

Getting in touch

Email hello@insidethetowns.com and say which town or towns you care about. What suits a business serving the whole corridor is different from what suits one café, and knowing which you are saves us both a round of email.
