A Belis Communications Community Project
Your Business on the Board for a Full Year
Community Boards gives six local businesses a professionally designed, category-exclusive placement inside a participating high-traffic community location for a full year.
What It Costs
What a Placement Costs
Each placement costs $600 for twelve months and is paid upfront. Design support is included. Your business receives repeated visibility in a location where local customers, clients, or visitors already spend time.
We do not promise leads, sales, or a particular return. What a placement provides is a year of steady presence in a place people already go.
Six Placements
Six Placements, One per Category
Each board includes six total advertising placements. Once a business category is claimed, another direct competitor in that category will not be placed on the same board.
Categories vary by board and location. Examples may include financial services, real estate, home services, health and wellness, restaurants and hospitality, professional services, and retail.

Nonprofit Host Locations
When a participating nonprofit becomes a host location, the organization receives direct financial support from the advertising revenue generated by its board.
The revenue-sharing model is still being finalized. We will confirm the arrangement in writing before any nonprofit commits.
Where We Are Starting
Where We Are Starting
