Now your display ad gets you so much more:

1 ad = 3 newspapers + website + eReader

1. Coverage across Montgomery County

Your ad will be included in the Takoma Voice, the Silver Spring Voice, and the Rock Creek Voice, a total of 50,000 papers distributed across lower Montgomery County — to homes, apartments, restaurants, retail businesses, grocery stores, health centers, Metro stations, and more!

2. Increased web presence

We attract 30,000 unique online visitors each month.

The Voice website is state of the art: SEO (search engine optimized), plugged into social media and RSS feeds, designed to enhance our gorgeous photography and encourage exploration. Our article links go out on our Facebook and Twitter feeds, where they are shared, bringing new readers to the site for the complete stories. The events calendar, Hometown Resources, and many other elements bring added value through Googlemaps.

All display advertisers are listed throughout the website as sponsors, with links to their sites.

Choose a category: Home & Garden, Health & Fitness, Arts & Entertainment, Family & Education. We will run your button ad on ALL articles (old and new) in that category for 30 days at no additional charge. See an example at the right.

3. Touch and go to your website through our e-Reader format

The Voice is also available in an e-Reader format, perfect for iPads and other tablets. With the layout of the print version, readers can literally turn the pages with their fingers. When readers touch or click your ad, they are taken to your website.

This format is also optimized for search engines and social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
