Loudoun Proud is read by people in Newmilns, Darvel, Galston, Hurlford, Crookedholm and Priestland. Not a region, not a county — the valley. Sponsorship puts your business in front of them on the site and in the newsletter that lands in their inbox.

Where your advert appears
Homepage banner
Beneath the lead story, where every visitor to the site starts.
In-article slot
After the fourth paragraph of a story. Never more than one per four paragraphs, and never above the fold on a phone.
Sidebar
Alongside article and section pages, visible while the reader is reading.
Newsletter header
The first thing a subscriber sees when the Tuesday briefing lands.
Newsletter mid-content
Between stories, where the reader is already engaged.
Newsletter footer
A standing mention in every edition we send.
We cap advertising density deliberately. No adverts above the fold on a phone, and never more than one inside every four paragraphs of a story. A page nobody wants to read is worth nothing to a sponsor.
Other ways to appear
Premium directory listing
£15–£25 a month
A logo, a fuller description, featured placement in your category and a link to your website. Free basic listings are available to every business in the valley.
Family notices
£25–£50 per notice
Death and funeral notices, published after moderation. Funeral directors in the valley can arrange this on a family's behalf.
Talk to us
Sponsorship is arranged directly — usually a conversation, not a form. Email advertise@loudounproud.co.uk and tell us about your business and which towns matter to you.
We will tell you honestly how many people we reach. If Loudoun Proud is not the right fit for what you sell, we will say so.
