Do you have a garage sale, open house or fundraiser coming up? Want to spread the word about your new local business, a lost pet or community news?
Well, thanks to feedback from loyal Patch users like you, we've made it easier than ever to get the word out about local happenings.
Starting now, the events and announcements you post on Patch can be promoted for up to 30 days, giving you more control over who sees your post — and when. Plus, getting your post in our newsletters, social feeds and news pages now costs as little as $1 per day.
