For local businessesBlue Ridge network · now forming

Be the local pick visitors actually see.

Put your business in front of people staying in rental homes across the Blue Ridge: on the coffee table in print, and on their phones in each home's digital guide.

How it works

Not a coupon book. A labeled section in a magazine guests pick up all weekend.

Sold by region. One placement reaches every Host Edit home in the area, not just one house.

Clearly labeled. Ads live in a Local Partners section, capped at two pages. Our editorial picks stay unpaid, which is why guests trust them.

Measured. Every ad gets its own QR and offer code. At renewal you get a report of scans and redemptions.

Ad sizes

Three sizes. We design every one.

No artwork needed. Every ad is designed in the house style, so the whole section looks like it belongs in the magazine.

  • Half pageRoom to tell your story: a photo, a few lines and your offer. Our largest size.
  • Quarter pageEnough to get noticed: your logo, one line and an offer guests can redeem.
  • ListingThe easiest way in: your name, one line and a QR code in our Local Listings directory.

Print and online. The same ad appears in each home's digital guide, sized for phones, with tap to call, book or get directions.

Category exclusivity. Be the only coffee shop, or the only outfitter, in the network.

Simple terms. Six months to start, a better rate for twelve, and a results report before you renew.
