Our experience with Shepherd

Express has been exceptional. Our

Account Executive has helped us

shape our advertising strategy by

presenting us with multiple proposals

were in complete alignment with our

business objectives. He is always

quick to identify opportunities for us

and is very responsive whenever we

need help.

Stephanie Murphy, DDS Emad Abdelsalam, Baba Ghanouj

The review of our restaurant in the Shepherd Express drove a lot

of people to experience our food. I’m glad we advertise in the

Shepherd Express—the return on investment has been excellent.

Shepherd Express is very helpful in

creating the best ads to get the most

exposure for me so I can get more

value than I actually pay.

Fujiko Yamouchi, Izumis

Advertising in the Shepherd Express has brought me

some fantastic referrals, which is the life blood of my real

estate business. I couldn’t be more pleased!

Kevin Wester, Realtor, Berkshire Hathaway

“Of all the media I have tried – print, radio,

TV, mailings – Shepherd Express is the ONLY

one that consistently gets responses.”

PRINT MARKETINGWITH THE BURGEONING SOCIAL MEDIA AND ONLINE EMPIRE, YOU’D SAY, “PRINT IS DEAD!” YOU’D BE WRONG.

Print very much holds a place in marketing plans. The Pew Research Center found that “most newspaper reading still happens in print.” According to MarketingProfs.com, a Pitney-Bowes survey showed that 76% of small businesses used a combination of digital and print mediums for their advertising. With everyone vying for the customers’ eye and attention online, print has the chance to stand out more because it is used less and can create the connection we all desire. Print can also drive customers online to your website or social media page. Plus, you can’t fast forward through or block print advertising. Print ads include our normal weekly issue and our newsprint inserts – Pullout Guides for great food and things to do in the city. You might also consider our annual glossy, magazine-style guides as part of your print package. They offer a long shelf life and are guides to the arts scene, the city, Summerfest, State Fair and more. Through partnerships, sponsorships, and advertising with us, you can engage our readers, your potential customers, and invite them into your narrative.

DIGITAL MARKETINGWEB, MOBILE, SOCIAL MEDIA AND EMAIL MARKETING

Digital advertising is hugely competitive, but important, and represents the highest growth potential. Mobile Internet usage has increased dramatically, with two-thirds of users admitting that they check their smartphones within 15 minutes of waking. Statistics also show that people check their phones, on average, 150 times per day or spend 177 minutes on them per day. Internet penetration has

grown exponentially and user-generated content offer advertisers new and unique ways to reach customers. Forbes, in an exploration

of advertising trends, shows that “Social media ad spending is expected to outpace the overall Internet ad market,

and grow at around 18% CAGR [Compound Annual Growth Rate] during 2014-2019.” There is a definite change

in behavior from consumers, especially among millennials. There is also a greater chance for return on investment

because online advertising is cheaper. It is an excellent opportunity for small businesses to market their

brands. The Shepherd Express offers the gamut of online, social media and email options.

MAN UP!Womani It’s a celebration of the wonder of women at this health and lifestyle expo, featuring over 250 vendors with presentations from industry experts and about 3,000 visitors.

EVENTSAt the Shepherd Express, we want to provide the area with fun and educational events that grow our community, bring us together, and help local businesses grow their brands. Events, such as Woman Up, allow local businesses to display and sell their wares to interested audiences at a reasonable rate. Together, we can gain customers, clients and friends by the extended reach these events provide. Our events include:

We’re the oldest readers’ choice poll in the city, and we love to celebrate it. Our party features food and drink from local establishments as well as other vendors and live music.

Beer and cheese? It’s only natural, so we put them together for a tasty event that just screams, Wisconsin! Stein & Dine features over 180 vendors, including 300 breweries, the best in sausage and cheese, and a lively atmosphere.

When cabin fever sets in or you’re ready to hit the beach, Street Eats is the event for you. Street Eats is a food truck festival that meets in a park setting. The event features food trucks, vendors and live music all while mingling in the great outdoors.

Sample the food of the nations. With food from 30 restaurants of different ethnicities, Taste of the World is a culinary experience for novices and world travelers alike. The event also features entertainment from around the world.

Falling leaves. Football. Thanksgiving. That annoying pumpkin spice flavor everywhere. It also means beer! It’s fall in Wisconsin. Join us as we celebrate Oktoberfest in conjunction with the West Allis Farmers Market and indulge in cold beer, food and live music.

PRINT AD SIZES

REVERSE TYPE/COLOR TYPEWhen using reverse type, delicate serifs and fine strokes, please understand that they tend not to reproduce well. Thin strokes fill with ink when reversed. Text to be reversed out of a solid black area should be no less than 10 point. Type to be reversed out of two or more overprinting colors should be no less than 14 point. This allows for variances in register, while maximizing legibility. Colored type that is created by overprinting the process colors should be no less than 14 point.

SURPRINTED TYPEType should not be surprinted in areas that exceed 30% screen tint value. This allows for dot gain and provides necessary contrast between the text and the background.

BLACK INK/RICH BLACKAll black type should be 100% black ink, not rich black (combination of CMYK values that make black). If registration is even slightly off, text using rich black becomes illegible.
