There are three reasons Hometown Headlines media group has such dominant and continuing advertising partners:

-Trust: We’re Northwest Georgia’s most trusted media.

-Connections: We’re in touch with Northwest Georgia via websites, email, Facebook, Twitter and our great partnership with WRGA 98.7 FM and RRP LLC. We also have the ability to produce and host live webcasts of special events and sports, including audio or audio/visual. .

-Audience: We reach the most affluent audience in Northwest Georgia.

In January 2015, we’ll begin our 11th year of delivering Northwest Georgia’s most critical news and weather information to your laptop, desktop and smart phones.

Our websites cover Rome/Floyd County, Bartow County, Polk County and Gordon County as well as local dining.

We average more than 5,000 views a day — and that’s not counting our Facebook, Twitter and radio audiences.

DAILY EMAIL ALERTS

Every morning, more than 1,000 people receive our morning headline alerts via email. This is not spam. Every email address we send to has been submitted by someone asking to receive it. More than 90 percent of our emails go to addresses in Northwest Georgia. The rest flow to Atlanta, Washington, D.C., or to the homes of former residents of our community. They also rely on Hometown Headlines to stay in touch with local news.

NEW: THE CRAWL

New atop our home page is The Crawl, a moving text message for our readers. You can buy it for a day or for a week. You can change the message daily. The fee is $15 a day or $125 for seven days.

AD CREATION FEES:

-We outsource ad creation. Fees normally range from $50 to $75 an hour. Ad creation costs are added to the terms of your contract. You then own the ad for use on any website you choose in addition to our own. There is no handling fee charged by Hometown.
