Buying local

Heard a radio ad the other day for a fairly prominent Billings business urging residents to buy from Montana-owned stores. Bravo for that.

The thing that rankled was that we have been trying for eight years to get that particular business to buy an ad in this Montana-owned newspaper. Not one nickel has come our way. Maybe the owners should listen to their own ads.

This is probably obvious ... but have you (or your sales staff) asked them about that? I'm quite curious what they would say.

Some of us at National Companies even throw a few ads your way - but I have selfish reasons, not just because you're local, it's because a lot of your 65,000 readers buy generators, scaffold, and equipment from me!
