A practical way to advertise locally

RVA Guides provide small businesses with an affordable way to stay visible across the Richmond market.


Each edition reaches 10,000–15,000 people through targeted local distribution, providing consistent exposure at a cost that makes sense for small businesses.

Built for visibility over time

Marketing works best when people see it more than once.


Studies consistently show it takes multiple exposures before a customer takes action. One appearance may create awareness, but repetition builds familiarity and trust.


RVA Guides are designed to support that reality.


Each edition stays in circulation and continues to be seen over time, giving businesses more than a single moment of exposure.

  • Downtown & Beyond is placed in hotels, venues, and high-traffic locations
  • Local Experts is delivered directly to residential households


No long-term, multiple-edition contracts. Businesses can participate as needed. Those that show up consistently tend to be remembered.

Built to be cost-effective

RVA Guides are structured to keep advertising costs within reach for small businesses.

  • Pricing is designed to be accessible compared to traditional local advertising
  • Ad design is included
  • Many businesses can use co-op or MDF (Market Development Funds) to offset costs
  • Referral opportunities provide additional perks

This creates a practical way to maintain ongoing visibility without stretching marketing budgets.

Clear, straightforward value

  • Exposure across 10,000–15,000 targeted households or high-traffic locations
  • Visibility that lasts over the life of each edition
  • Optional QR codes for direct response
  • A digital version of each guide for reference and sharing


This is not built around high-volume lead claims.


It is a steady, reliable way to stay visible in the local market.
