Advertise in your local paper? YES, YOU SHOULD! THE POWER OF NEWSPAPER ADS IN 2022 Given the proliferation of digital platforms, the rise of geo-targeting and the constant stream of online news, you may be wondering if it’s worth placing ads in the Lumby Valley Times.

Without a doubt, local papers are a relevant and in-demand source of news. And, when marketing dollars are spent wisely, they make a real impact. The takeaway? Make certain to advertise where you’re sure to get real results!
