WE MEAN BUSINESS!

North Coast Business JournalTHE PRIMARY SOURCE OF LOCAL BUSINESS INFORMATION

Most small-business owners consider their local market to be their primary trade area. To get ahead, they must know what’s happening in their industry and their city. Only local business journals fill this void. They are a must-read. These readers look to their journal

for new ways to make money. As a result, they value advertising and respond to it.
