How Small Businesses Can Reach Their Local Customers On Patch

Patch is committed to supporting local businesses in the communities we cover that may be struggling due to the coronavirus crisis.

With a vast majority of states reopening in phases, we want to invite you, as a local business owner, to use our Classifieds section to give updates to your local customers. Here are some ways you can use Patch Classifieds:

• Is your business open or closed? Let neighbors know by sharing your updated hours.
• Post any special promotions, deals or discounts that your business may be offering.
• Hire local workers if you’re looking for some extra help, either permanently or temporarily.

Posting a classified in your community is completely free. And through Monday, June 15, we’ve made it free to promote your classified or event, which gets you featured in our newsletters and on the Patch website for seven days. If you want to share your classified with nearby communities or extend your promotion for a longer period, you can do so for just $1 per day.

We have also published a resource page to help local businesses navigate these complex times. We’ll update that page regularly with new information and tips for local businesses in response to the unfolding situation.

If you have any questions, you can always reach out to us at support@patch.com.

Stay safe, everyone!
