Thank you to everyone who continues to show support for The Creemore Echo. We have had a very encouraging start to our annual subscription drive, which continues over the next few weeks. We wish to express gratitude to our advertisers, subscribers and everyone who values their independent local newspaper.
We are making a plea for new subscribers. Like other newspapers, The Creemore Echo continues to lose revenue from traditional forms of advertising as the big companies transition away from print advertising. So, it is more important than ever that we build our subscription base. It may seem counterintuitive for those of you who already receive the newspaper to pay for something that comes free of charge to your mailbox each week. The truth is we are facing rising costs from Canada Post and subscriptions help cover the cost of distributing the newspapers to mailboxes.
The Creemore Echo is an important part of life in this community and we want to make special mention of the people who keep our doors open. Here are this week’s champions, boosters and new subscribers. And, a special thank you to everyone who are long-time subscribers. We couldn’t survive without you.
Trina and Sara will be at the Creemore Farmersʼ Market this Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to take subscriptions. Please pop by our booth and say hello.
