Every December, business owners face the same decision.
What is one smart expense I can still make before year end that actually works?
Most do not want another loud ad or a one-time placement that disappears in January. They want something legitimate, local, and effective. Something that reduces taxable income now and keeps creating momentum into the new year.
That is where Connect Happy Valley fits.
We focus on one community and one trusted rhythm. A weekly e letter people open, a website people use, and soon a mobile app built for local life. The work is simple. Storytelling, word of mouth, and consistent presence.
For many local businesses, that shows up as a $200 per month partnership that includes:
Four custom articles over the year telling their story
A square display ad each month on ConnectHappyValley.com
Amplification across our social media channels as third party earned media
A full directory listing used by locals, alumni, students, and visitors.
Link to your eletter and promotions and event priority on our calendar.
Our current advertisers consistently report something they can feel, not just measure. More awareness. More conversations. More heat in seats driven by stories that travel organically through the community instead of feeling like ads.
For year end, we are offering a 10 percent discount when paid before December 31, making this a clean, bookable marketing expense that reduces taxes and locks in presence for the year ahead.
For those who prefer to start smaller, the same approach can be evaluated for the first quarter. A three-month partnership priced at $600, also eligible for the 10 percent year-end discount.
Why This May Feel a Little Odd
Partnering with us might feel unconventional.
That’s because we are not trying to be flashy. We’re building a modern local co-op rooted in storytelling, word-of-mouth, and collaboration. This is an experiment to better connect business and community, and we want you as a partner.
It’s a smart year-end move.
It reduces your tax bill.
It keeps money local.
And the pricing is intentionally reasonable. Plus, you hire us to be your “direction to connection.”
Not ready right now?
If you’d rather connect in January to talk about new-year opportunities, just drop me a note. No pressure.
If you want to move forward before year-end, email me directly and I will generate the invoice so you can book the expense and close out the year cleanly.
