Advertise in The WC Press
Why Advertise in The WC Press?
The WC Press has been West Chester’s favorite resource for learning about people, events and businesses in the local community since we launched in 2012. We pride ourselves on introducing our readers to their next favorite restaurant, non-profit, or artist, and we’re able to do all this thanks to the support of our advertisers. Their sponsorship makes it possible for us to do what we do, and in return they get access valuable marketing opportunities: advertising, editorial coverage, social media promotions and more.

Every six months you commit to, you’ll save 12.5% per ad. Give us a credit card to automatically charge each month; save 15%. Wanna be a baller and pay for the duration of your contract up front? Boom—save 25%!
How many magazines do you print?
We print 5,000 copies. To put that in perspective: imagine two very big pallets, covered in magazines, stacked chest high.

Ad Design
Designing your own ad?
Never advertised before? Not sure how to promote yourself? Need someone to execute your idea?
We Can Help!
All advertising packages in The WC Press include one complimentary design. So, if you don’t have access to a professional designer, it doesn’t matter! We’ll work with you to develop your ad from concept to proof and we await your approval on the final design before anything is printed. You’re welcome to make simple changes to your ad every month, (changing dates, swapping a picture, etc) but there will be an additional $50 charge for each new ad design. If you think you’re interested in having us design a brand new ad for your every month, we suggest you opt into what we call The Design Package, which includes unlimited ad changes, for a 10% upcharge on the total cost of your advertising. You simply elect into the package when you sign up to advertise.
Below are some ads we’ve designed (for FREE!) for clients just like you:
