Be the local business residents recognize every Monday.

The Town Minute helps residents understand the local decisions affecting their homes, families, businesses, and community. Sponsorship gives your business repeated, clearly labeled visibility alongside reporting people actively choose to read.

Reach the residents who are paying attention.

Built for businesses that depend on local customers.

Founding Sturbridge sponsorship opportunities

We are accepting a limited number of founding partners in Sturbridge, where The Town Minute has its longest-running and most established audience. Founding rates require an initial three-month commitment and are locked for the first six months.

Reach a growing audience of highly engaged residents who actively choose to follow Sturbridge's budgets, development projects, public decisions, roads, housing, and community issues. Recent Town Minute editions have averaged approximately a 70% open rate. Current audience and engagement figures will be shared transparently before any sponsorship agreement is signed.

COMING SOON

Charlton and Southbridge sponsorships are coming soon.

The Town Minute launched in Charlton and Southbridge in August 2026, and both audiences are still growing. We are not opening founding sponsorships in these towns yet, but we are keeping a waitlist so local businesses can be the first to know when positions become available.

Example Sponsor Placement

Here is a mockup of how a sponsor card appears inside a regular Town Minute edition.

Getting started is simple.

Know what your sponsorship delivered.

Sponsors receive a straightforward monthly summary covering placement fulfillment and available newsletter performance data, including sends, delivery, opens, and clicks.

We do not promise a specific number of leads or sales. Our commitment is to provide accurate fulfillment, transparent reporting, and repeated visibility with a highly local audience.

The Town Minute's reporting remains independent. Sponsors do not determine what we cover, how an issue is described, or what conclusions we reach. Every paid placement is clearly labeled.
