“We advertise with the Whidbey Weekly because it is the only all-island paper, and we know it is the most loved paper that people turn to for what’s happening on the island. It is locally owned and operated just like us, so they understand our needs.

Locals supporting locals. Win-win! “ - Gary & Beth Smith, Founder Mukilteo Coffee

“In the past I tried many different avenues for advertising, spending a lot but receiving little response. Advertising in the Whidbey Weekly is affordable and because of their high visibility I receive a great response. 75-80% of the new customers my ad has generated has come from South Whidbey Island.

I couldn’t be happier!”

- Richard Ulloa, owner, Island Sewing & Vacuum

“We like advertising in the Whidbey Weekly because they reach the entire island. We have customers from Oak Harbor and Coupeville that come to our shop to buy from our huge selection of wines They enjoy our weekend tastings and special events, too. With island-wide coverage from Clinton to the Deception Pass Bridge, Whidbey Weekly reaches our island neighbors every week!”

Isaac Asimov There’s no such thing as national advertising.

All advertising is local and personal. It’s one man or woman reading one newspaper in the kitchen or watching TV in the den.

“We advertise with the Whidbey Weekly because we receive excellent customer service. They understand what we want and get it right the first time, resulting in advertising that works!”

- Jenn & Sieb Jurriaans, owners

“We serve our customers from one end of the island to the other.

One of the things that we love about the Whidbey Weekly is that it crosses all theboundaries of our Island and reaches people from the Bridge to Sandy Hook. We receive calls from the entire Island community because of our advertising in the Whidbey Weekly.

I know of no other way to reach everyone here on a steady basis with something they read weekly. We love this community and the Whidbey Weekly is great at keeping us all connected.
