Savings Guide sponsorship · Founding pilot

Help local families save. Give them a reason to know you.

Support a free Greater St. Louis resource with a meaningful reader benefit and clearly disclosed sponsorship.

A focused first step

One sponsor. A 30-day pilot. A clear review.

We are inviting inquiries for one founding Savings Guide sponsor. The pilot starts after the scope, fee, offer, and placements are agreed in writing and the placements go live.

Savings page placement

A clearly labeled sponsor feature with your organization, approved reader benefit, and a tracked link.

Guide placement

A disclosed placement in the refreshed guide edition prepared for the pilot. Existing downloaded copies cannot be updated.

A useful reader offer

Clear eligibility, locations, redemption steps, restrictions, and an expiration or review date.

An end-of-pilot report

Available page views, guide activity, and tracked link clicks, plus redemptions your team can verify. Clicks are not sales.

Reader value comes first

A benefit worth sharing.

A good fit is an organization with a useful local offer, straightforward terms, and the ability to honor it. We review fit before accepting a sponsor.

Transparent scope and pricing

A fixed fee is quoted after reviewing current audience activity and production requirements. There is no automatic renewal. A wider Resource Partner membership is a separate agreement.

Email placements, paid advertising, TV appearances, event participation, and category exclusivity are not included in this pilot.

Know what we can measure.

Before launch: agree on the reader benefit, baseline, reporting measures, and who verifies redemptions.
During the pilot: monitor placement and link activity, check offer accuracy, and address delivery issues.
After 30 live days: review the available results, confirmed reader use, sponsor feedback, and the value of continuing.

We do not guarantee leads, sales, reach, or savings. Sponsorship does not buy an editorial ranking. Useful public resources remain available independently of paid participation, and subscriber information is not sold or supplied as a lead list.
