HOW IT WORKS

Simple for the host. Seen by every customer.

STEP 01

A trusted spot hosts the board

A coffee shop, diner, or brewery puts a free 24×36 board near the counter. Their logo goes up top, with room for specials and events.

STEP 02

Six local businesses sponsor it

One business per category, so your ad never sits next to a competitor's. Just trusted local names, side by side.

STEP 03

It works for you all year

No algorithm and no ad that vanishes after a scroll. Customers see you every visit for 12 months.

ADVERTISE

Claim your category before someone else does.

Spots are first come, first served. Once a category is taken on a board, it is gone for the year.

Less than the cost of one mailer.

One flat price for a full year in front of local customers. No contracts that auto-renew, no surprise fees.

ONE AD SPOT · 12 MONTHS

$600

One payment covers your full year. That works out to about $50 a month.

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Joe.

I'm a 20-year Central Ohio firefighter, and before that I worked construction. I started Magnus Local because the businesses that hold our community together deserve advertising that's affordable, local, and actually seen.

Every board is placed by me, in spots I'd send my own family. When you call, you get me, not a sales team.

Joe Mattia, Founder

Questions

How does the board work?

A busy local business hosts a free 24×36 board. Six local businesses each sponsor one ad spot on it for 12 months, and every customer who walks in sees them.

Can my competitor be on the same board?

No. Each board takes one business per category, so your ad never sits next to a competitor.

How long does my ad run?

Twelve months from the day the board goes up.

What do I need to send?

Your logo, phone number, and the offer you want customers to see. Already have a finished ad? Send it over. If not, we will put one together with you and send a proof for your approval.

When does the board go up?

As fast as possible. Once all six spots are reserved and ads are approved, our goal is to have the board printed and up within 2 to 4 weeks.

Does hosting cost anything?

No. Hosts get the board, the stand, and setup free. All we ask is that the board stays up for the full year.
