Listing and Advertising Opportunitites for Businesses Listed in Guides


Being included in a Guide is part of an organized experience of living in and around Beacon. What follows are overall requirements for being included in a Guide, how to advertise in one, and how to get listed without advertising. Guides include: Second Saturday Entertainment + Dining, Pop-Up Shops! and the Holiday Shopping Guide.
  • Beacon Businesses: For businesses located in Beacon, there is no fee to be in a Guide, but a business must meet certain requirements of a Guide listed with that Guide. 
  • Hudson Valley Businesses: Businesses located in the Hudson Valley, such as Peekskill, Cold Spring, Garrison, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, and beyond who want to be featured in a Guide can purchase placement via an ad. 
  • Sponsors Outside of Beacon: Sponsors of A Little Beacon Blog who have a prominent banner ad displaying on this website who are in the Hudson Valley or anywhere in New York can be listed in one Category of a relevant Guide.
  • A Website or Social Page: You do need a website or online presence for us to link to and for people to get more information. Need one quick? Just fill out your Google Plus page or start a Facebook Business Page.
  • Not Listed Yet? If you feel that your business would be a great fit for a Guide, please email your suggestion with details to editorial@alittlebeaconblog.com.
