Support Southpoint Access: SoDu's Ultra-Local News Source!
I really want Southpoint Access to be part of helping you realize the vision for your business. Let's work together. Here's how: Become a sponsor. What's in it for you? It all depends on the package you prefer!

How many locally owned and operated news sites are dedicated to covering what's going on in neighborhoods around South Durham?
Just one. Right now, you're reading it!
I'm Wes Platt, the neighborhood news guy for Southpoint Access. I'm the editor/publisher/owner, but make no mistake: I work for readers who increasingly are relying on this site to share information about what's happening in schools and with new businesses and developments.
And if you run a business in South Durham like I do, I want to know if, like me, you've got a vision for where you want that business to be in a year. In five? Ten?
I really want Southpoint Access to be part of your realizing that vision. Let's work together. Here's how: Become a sponsor. What's in it for you? It all depends on the package you prefer!
Gold Sponsorship
For $1,000, your business gets a 300x250 pixel ad space for one year. That ad goes on our Sponsors page, but starting in January 2025, it's also included in every post on our newsletter site, including the week-in-review, daily digests, and any news alerts sent to readers. You're also eligible to get an expanded entry about your business in the SoDu Compass. Your business will get shout-outs on our social media at least once a month.
Silver Sponsorship
For $650, your business gets a 300x250 pixel ad space for six months. Your ad goes on the Sponsors page. It's included in posts on our newsletter site, including the daily news digest. As with the Gold package, your business gets an expanded entry in the SoDu Compass and you'll get monthly social media shout-outs.
Bronze Sponsorship
For $300, your business gets a 300x250 pixel ad space for three months. Your ad is included on the Sponsors page, as well as in posts on our newsletter site (but not in any digests, alerts, or week-in-review distributions). As with Gold and Silver, your business is eligible for an expanded entry in the SoDu Compass. Your business gets monthly social media shout-outs.
We've also got opportunities to sponsor specific features available through Southpoint Access, including:
Criminal Incident Report
For $500, your business gets a 692x90 pixel ad space for one month in the Criminal Incident Report.
Restaurant Health Inspection Report
For $500, your business gets a 692x90 pixel ad space for one month in the Restaurant Health Inspection Report.
Obituaries
For $100, your business gets a 692x90 pixel ad space for one week in the Obituaries.
What Else?
I'm just getting started with Southpoint Access, but I have every intention of expanding on these offerings as we keep rolling. As just one example, no matter which package you choose for your South Durham business, I'd want to discuss the possibility of visiting with the Southpoint Access mobile newsroom, setting up a table and chair, and working from your shop for a couple of hours.
Why would I want to do that? Well, it seems like a great opportunity for us to connect so I can learn more about your experiences building a business in South Durham. Plus, it's another opportunity for Southpoint Access to spread the word about your business. And, hey, it's more entertaining for me to get out in the community than spending hours parked at the desk in my home office.
