Sponsor placements across our newsletter and podcast, Verdun to the Aqueduct path
Three placements, one rate card. Every price below covers the full run described beside it — nothing is quoted separately after you book.
Riverside Notice
$162 CADRiverside Notice is a single sponsor line, set in the same weekly newsletter our Verdun and southwest-shore readers already open on Thursday mornings. The line carries your business name, a short description you approve, and a link — nothing more elaborate, and nothing that reads as a banner.
It is built for shops, farm stands, studios and community groups that want to be seen without committing to a longer campaign. We place it below the week's top story, in a clearly labelled sponsor row, so it never gets mistaken for editorial content.
What's included
- One sponsor line with your link, drafted with your input
- Two consecutive Thursday newsletter editions
- A copy review pass before the first send so wording is right
- Open counts for both editions, shared once the run finishes
Southwest Shore Podcast Mentions
$630 CADFour host-read mentions run across four consecutive weekly episodes of our southwest-shore news and culture podcast. Each mention is written into the episode script and read aloud by the host, the same way we'd introduce a local event or a neighbour's project — not dropped in as a separate audio spot.
A matching link sits on each episode's page, so a listener who wants to follow up later has somewhere to click through. This format suits a LaSalle contractor, a Nuns' Island studio or a Côte-Saint-Paul café whose story naturally fits a segment of the show.
What's included
- Four host-read mentions across four weekly episodes
- A link on each of the four matching episode pages
- Script approval sent to you before recording
- Per-episode listen counts after each instalment airs
Full Shore Partnership
$1,140 CADFull Shore Partnership runs for six weeks and combines every channel we publish: standing site placements, four newsletter credits, four podcast mentions and one partner-labelled profile page written together with you.
It is aimed at organisations already established along the Aqueduct path and the wider southwest shore — a clinic, a community foundation, a multi-location retailer — that want a sustained presence rather than a single mention. We coordinate the whole run from one planning session, so nothing lands out of sequence.
What's included
- Six weeks of continuous cross-channel presence
- Four newsletter credits and four podcast mentions across the run
- One partner-labelled profile page, written and published with you
- A planning session at the start and creative coordination throughout
- A closing report summarising what ran, when, and where
Pricing note
What the price covers
Each price is the full cost of the run as described — the number of editions, episodes and weeks shown above is fixed, and there is no separate production fee for the copy review, script approval or closing report. If you want changes mid-run, such as swapping the link partway through Riverside Notice, we will discuss whether that fits inside the existing booking or needs its own placement. We do not offer bundled discounts beyond the three prices shown; each placement is booked and paid at the rate listed.

Coverage
Where our readers and listeners are
Ravelmere's newsletter and podcast are read and heard across Verdun, Nuns' Island, LaSalle, Côte-Saint-Paul and along the Aqueduct path. We do not sell placements aimed at neighbourhoods outside this stretch of the southwest shore — a business based elsewhere in Montréal is welcome to enquire, but the audience described here is the one we can honestly speak to.
Nuns' Island
Residential and professional addresses across the bridge from Verdun.
LaSalle & Côte-Saint-Paul
Trades, manufacturers and the neighbourhoods along the Aqueduct path.
Who this is for
Matching the placement to the business
Small shops & farm stands
A quick, low-cost mention ahead of a busy weekend or new-season opening — Riverside Notice.
Service businesses with a story
A studio, café or clinic with something worth a few sentences on air — the podcast mentions.
Established organisations
Groups wanting sustained visibility across six weeks — the Full Shore Partnership.
Not a fit
Businesses outside Verdun and the southwest shore, or those wanting display banners — we do not sell either.
