October is Small Business Month, and to celebrate, the New England Times is once again giving small businesses around the region a chance to raise their profile for free!

Every day in October, we’ll run stories highlighting the great local businesses we have right here in our communities.

All you need to do to take part is fill in this simple form – don’t worry about your spelling or making it pretty, just give us the details – upload your logo and a couple of photos, and we’ll take it from there.

There’s a couple of options to choose from:

  • We can build a listing for you on our business directory while we are going – just check the box if you’d like us to do that. Alternatively you can add a listing yourself here.
  • This promotion will run on both New England Times and our new site North Coast Times. Select which site you want your profile to run on at the bottom of the form – New England, North Coast, or both.
  • And as always, we offer up to 12 weeks of discounted advertising for any business that takes part – details in the bottom half of the below form. This is completely optional – you do not need to book advertising or pay anything to be included in our Small Business Month promotion.
