The Shepherd Express - www.shepherd-express.com

 

This is an unofficial opinion but, the Shepherd Express has become a "must read" for fun and culture in Milwaukee.  I have also noticed that it's very rare that a copy isn't sitting around in the homes of friends and family who either live in Milwaukee or have been to Milwaukee. 

That said, it certainly couldn't hurt to let you know what their up coming travel topics were - in hope of giving you an opportunity to let the Shepherd Express writing staff know of Door County businesses, locations and/or events that fall into these topics - and, in turn, help build recognition for the County in the Milwaukee area.

Reader Profile

Co-op Advertising Rate through the Wisconsin Department of Tourism

Let me tell you a little about the Shepherd Express. We are the third largest newspaper in the state with 261,400 readers. Our readers are very active and look to us for their Arts & Entertainment, which is why we added a weekly travel section to our paper.  Additionally, we will also be running cover/feature articles on Getaway weekends throughout the year.

 

The best part is that we work with the Dept of Tourism and are able to offer you deep discounts through their co-op program. If you are new to the program contact me early, so we can get you set up.

 

I look forward to assisting you.

 

Sincerely,
