Put your business in front of 12,000+ Teesside customers.
The Teesider is Teesside's most engaged local newsletter community. Our readers are local, loyal, and actively looking to discover and support businesses in their area. If you want to grow your customer base without wasting money on ads nobody sees — you're in the right place.
This isn't just advertising. It's a direct line to your local community.
We're already in their inbox.
Our subscribers have chosen to receive The Teesider. That means when your business appears in our newsletter, you're not interrupting them — you're being recommended to them. That's a fundamentally different kind of attention.
Our readers support local.
The people who subscribe to a hyperlocal community newsletter are exactly the people who prefer to shop locally, eat locally and hire locally. These are your customers — they just haven't found you yet.
You get real, measurable results.
Every feature, every mention, every deal we send on your behalf is tracked. You'll know exactly how many people saw your business, clicked your link and redeemed your offer.
You don't need a big budget.
We work with sole traders, market stall owners, independent restaurants and family-run shops. Our packages start at £49 a month — less than the cost of a few Facebook ads that nobody in Teesside will ever see.
Who We've Helped
"We got 47 new customers in the first month after our feature. I genuinely couldn't believe it."
"As a new cafe, we needed people to know we existed. The Teesider put us on the map locally faster than anything else we tried."
"Finally a local advertising option that actually reaches real people in our area. Well worth every penny."
