We are locally-owned and operated and can relate to the challenges of doing business here. We want you to do well and prosper, and we can help.
Tools for growth: Smart display ads are a secret marketing gem that has proven effective at creating awareness of who you are and what you offer. This translates into more shopping and support for your business. The cost ranges from as little as $25 up to $500.
There is a price and size that will fit your budget. Keep in mind, the Reader is the popular, well-read journal of our community and your ad will be seen by thousands of readers for a full three months each issue and/or online.

“We happily advertise with the Park Slope Reader—in fact, it is the only publication we now advertise in—because we feel they are the only quality periodical on the street that is kind of hip, relevant, has great writing/writers, great photos, and covers local topics of real interest to Park Slope’s upbeat, curious, and progressive families—the kind of people we also love to serve here at Spoke the Hub. (Also, their staff is incredibly helpful, flexible, talented, and personable—more qualities that we appreciate here at Spoke.) The Park Slope Reader captures the zeitgeist of Park Slope today, and Spoke the Hub is happy to be part of that passing scene.”
