Frequently asked questions
How many sponsors run each week?
Just one. We feature only one Featured Local Partner per week so your business isn’t competing with other ads.
What weeks are available?
Availability changes weekly. Email us to check specific dates.
How far in advance should I book?
For a specific week (big event, holiday promotion), we recommend 3β4 weeks ahead. For general branding, we can usually find you a spot sooner.
What results can I expect?
Every business is different, but we’ll share a simple recap after your week showing email opens and clicks so you can see engagement.
Can I use my own artwork?
Absolutely β if it fits our layout. Otherwise, we’ll build your ad in our template at no extra charge so it matches Prior Lake Events.
What if I want to run multiple weeks?
Our 4-week campaign ($499) locks in four consecutive weeks at a lower per-week rate. Get in touch if you’re interested in longer commitments.
