Hear ye, hear ye! It’s time to vote for the finest of our fair town!
Every year, the CN&R’s Best of Chico contest energizes the Chico community and creates a lot of excitement around businesses, places, people and more as our readers vote for their local favorites.
It brings in new customers, 1.3 million web impressions, and 300,000 votes from local engaged residents.
During the final round, readers will be allowed to vote daily, which means more exposure for your advertising and more engagement with your community. Encourage your true-hearted fans to vote for you every day! Ads will be integrated into various parts of the ballot as effective reminders to vote for you.
The Final Voting Round runs July 1 through July 31. Winners will be announced on August 22.
Here are many ways, at a range of price-points, that you can remind voters that you are the Best of Chico! Some positions are limited to first-come, first-served. To secure your ad placement, please contact Ray Laager at rlaager@newsreview.com:
