Put your name on a series people already read.
We post the same things every week — trivia, local news, the scoreboard, what's on this weekend — and the same people come back for them. Sponsoring one means your business is named on every post in that series, for a flat monthly rate. No bidding, no impressions you can't see, no contract.
Your first month, on any series. A month is long enough to see whether it does anything for you.
Per month, depending on the series. Published below rather than quoted on request.
One month at a time. Stop whenever you like — tell me before the month turns and there's nothing more to pay.
The rates
Five series, five prices
| Series | Per month | First month | Reach | Per 1,000 views |

| Local newsWhat actually happened this week: the council, the schools, the roads, the openings and closings. | $175 | $87.50 | ~6,000/week~24,000/month | $7.29 |
| Sports scoreboardHigh school varsity scores and standings, posted through the season. | $175 | $87.50 | ~5,800/week~23,200/month | $7.54 |
| Weekend eventsThe what-is-on roundup that goes out before the weekend. | $100 | $50 | ~2,500/week~10,000/month | $10.00 |
| Real Livonia MomThe smallest and most specific audience here — parents, planning their week. | $100 | $50 | ~1,000/week~4,000/month | $25.00 |
Views are Instagram, Facebook and TikTok combined, and they are deliberately conservative: the weekly figures come from recent weaker weeks, not our best ones, and the monthly figures assume four weeks rather than the four and a bit a month actually has. A good month beats what's on this page.

How it runs
Four things worth knowing
- One sponsor per series at a time. Your name isn't sharing the post with three other businesses, which is the whole reason it registers.
- Months start on the 1st. Agree it mid-month and the first billed month is the next one — you aren't charged for part of a month, and I'll usually start running your name straight away.
- I invoice you. An invoice from us at the start of the month, payable by card. Nothing is set up to charge you automatically, so no month happens without you seeing a bill for it first.
- You see the numbers, not a report about them. The posts are public, the view counts are on the platforms, and I'll tell you what your series actually did rather than sending a dashboard.
Also worth a look
If you'd rather pay only when someone buys
Sponsorship is a flat monthly rate for attention. The partner program is the other shape: no fee at all, and a commission on sales that come to you through Livonia Thrive. Plenty of businesses do both — the sponsorship gets them noticed, the offer gets them through the door.
