Let's clear up a few things

By Randy Capps

When January rolled around, we decided to branch out into the world of digital marketing.

Unfortunately, this created a bit of confusion around the print version of Johnston Now. Let me say that we have no plans to stop producing a printed version of the magazine.

We believe in the power of the printed page. For hundreds of years, it has been an effective way for people to communicate, and we think it still holds true today. After all, it’s hard to tape a web page to the refrigerator.

No, we simply saw a need among our customers for affordable digital marketing provided by a trusted company that is customer service focused. That’s us, by the way.

We’ve only been doing it for a few weeks, but we’ve already helped a handful of local businesses navigate the information superhighway — all while still delivering a paper copy of your friendly neighborhood magazine.

Speaking of which, the summer guide (yes, summer) is right around the corner.

We’re collecting events, camp listings, vacation Bible schools and the like for the calendar as always, and this year, we’re adding in Class of 2021 graduation profiles as well. Submit a graduate profile (yours or someone else’s) at www.bit. ly/3rzz4Zr and send those event listings to hello@johnstonnow.com or submit them here: www.johnstonnow.com/submitevent.

That way, we can put them in the June edition of our printed magazine.
