Grow your Business
Reach thousands of engaged local readers every week. Our advertising options put your business in front of the Berks County community. Choose from display ads, sponsored articles, directory listings, and social media promotions.
Rethink Local Advertising
Traditional ads can be hit or miss — a billboard is gone in seconds, a flyer ends up in the trash, and social media ads are easy to scroll past. At Berks Weekly, we give your business more than impressions — we give you attention. Our ads appear in the same trusted local news our community reads every day, making your brand part of the story instead of just background noise.

Ads That Don’t Get Lost
We believe quality beats quantity. That’s why Berks Weekly only works with a limited number of advertisers at a time — your message won’t get lost in a sea of clutter. Unlike national news sites filled with pop-ups, autoplay videos, and irrelevant third-party ads, our platform is clean, local, and distraction-free.
Every ad we publish is sold directly, giving your business a premium position with no random or off-topic competition. Readers know our ads are local and relevant, which means they pay attention. The result? Higher engagement, stronger trust, and better performance for your business.
Why Work With Us?
Optional Paid Distribution
Social feeds are more crowded than ever, and organic reach can be inconsistent. Adding paid distribution on social media allows us to amplify your message to the most relevant local audience in Berks County, extending your reach beyond our followers. It’s a simple way to add momentum to your feature and give it the boost it needs to really take off. Most advertisers see good results with $200–$400 in paid distribution.
