Sponsorship rate card

One good U.P. story every day, read by the people who live here. This is what it costs to put your name beside it.

Who is on the other end

Where they live

Meta ranks Marquette, Ishpeming, Iron Mountain, Escanaba, Gwinn and Sault Ste. Marie as the top cities among followers, and all ten of its top cities are in Michigan. 97% of followers are in the United States. Source: Meta Business Insights, Audience, Demographics, lifetime, read 1 October 2026.

How old they are

65 and over29.1%
55 to 6425.8%
45 to 5421.9%
35 to 4415.5%
25 to 346.8%
18 to 240.9%

Three in four are 45 or older (76.8%, calculated from Meta’s age bands). They own the house, the truck and the camp, and they are the ones who call a contractor instead of watching a video about it.

Rates

What it costs

  • One sponsored post, written and built by us
  • Your photo or ours
  • Reach and engagement reported after seven days
$200 once $300

  • Monthly report from Meta’s own numbers

  • Sole sponsor in your trade, so we run no one who competes with you
  • Presenting sponsor of a standing feature, named every time it runs

Monthly placements run three months at a time, because one post is a lottery ticket and three months is a test you can read. Month to month after that.

The part most rate cards leave out

What sponsorship does not buy

Every sponsored post and article is labelled as one. Readers can tell the difference at a glance, which is the only reason the label is worth anything to you.

Sponsorship does not buy news coverage, and it does not buy a correction, a takedown, or a kind word in a story about your trade. If you are ever in the news, your sponsorship has no bearing on how we cover it. That rule is the whole product. An audience that suspects the page is for sale is worth nothing to the next business that buys a post.

We will also say no to your money if the fit is wrong. There is one sponsor per trade at the Presenting tier, and we would rather turn down a sale than run something the audience will hold against us both.

To start

Pick a tier and tell us the offer you want in front of people. First post goes up within a week.
