From One South Durham Small Business to Another – Let’s Team Up This April

Hi, neighbors!

I’m Wes Platt, neighborhood news guy behind Southpoint Access and our weekday email newsletter, the SoDu Sunrise Showcase.

Every morning, SoDu neighbors open these emails to catch up on the latest happenings in South Durham – news, events, and information you won’t find anywhere else.

Now I’m inviting other local small businesses to become monthly sponsors of the newsletter. It’s my way of helping us support each other: your sponsorship helps keep local news flowing, and it puts your business in front of an engaged, loyal audience on a regular basis.

💛 Two Ways to Sponsor the Newsletter:

🟡 SoDu Community Connector – $150/month (CLICK!)

• A text link ad at the bottom of every weekday edition.
• A great way to build consistent brand visibility.

🔵 SoDu Neighborhood Headliner – $225/month (CLICK!)

• A daily text link ad
• Plus a rotating “Sponsored by [Your Business]” banner at the top of the newsletter
• Includes a short message or promo from you

Note: If more than one business books the Headliner tier, the top sponsor placement will rotate during the month so each gets spotlight time.
