Why advertise with Spokane Pulse?

Billboards, radio spots and social posts spray your message at everyone and hope. Spokane Pulse puts you in front of a specific, local, opted-in audience at the exact moment they're planning their week.

01

Hyper-local & genuinely engaged

Every subscriber is here in the Spokane metro and Valley, with no wasted impressions on people three states away. They opted in because they care about what's happening in town, which means they care about the local businesses we feature.

02

Opened, not scrolled past

A 51.7% open rate means your placement actually gets seen, landing in an inbox readers trust, beside content they chose to read. Compare that to a social feed, where an organic post reaches only a fraction of followers and disappears in seconds.

03

Trusted editorial context

We're the local friend with good recommendations. When your business shows up in that voice, it carries the credibility of the newsletter, a warm endorsement rather than an interruption. And every dollar helps keep local journalism free for Spokane.

Our audience.

7,790 engaged Spokane locals open the newsletter every single week. They're real residents who act on what they find, whether that means showing up, booking, or buying local.
