We have something exciting to share! A new monthly publication will be mailed to Greenfield residents beginning early 2024. Called Greenfield Neighbors, the sleek magazine format will feature uplifting content, insightful stories, and helpful tips that are focused on and written by people in our community. The local publisher is John Petek, along with BVM (Best Version Media)* which is in Brookfield, Wisconsin. John is a new member of the Greater Greenfield Community Chamber and recently spoke with us about Greenfield Neighbors.
He explains that it will be, “A warm and friendly publication containing articles, recipes, current events, travel, pets, and a sports section (from t-ball up to professional ranks). No politics. It will also have a free classified ads section.” Good news stories will also appear about local government including the police and fire departments, as well as schools.
There are 1,200 other publications throughout the US and Canada created by BVM. Each of the magazines** is sponsored through different ads from small businesses within the local communities. Those businesses, says John, “Love the publication.”
The success of the current publications could be because of the following (which we pulled from the BVM website):
The local magazines are free to readers and offer businesses an effective way to reach a hyperlocal audience.
They avoid controversial topics and focus on bringing people together.
The content is powered by local readers and businesses.
Even better, BVM continues to add digital components to complement the print campaigns.
Don’t wait for John to call you. Reach out and give him just ten minutes of your time. That’s all it takes, he tells us, to let small business owners know how they can help build greater community and grow their businesses with Greenfield Neighbors. He can be reached at (262) 827-9380.
We appreciate what John is doing for our organization, by the way. We hear that every time he visits a Greenfield business, he’s spreading the word about the Chamber.
