The Bloomington Spotlight

Bloomington Spotlight is a full-color, four-page, 9″ × 12″ folded mailer featuring local businesses, restaurant offers, and business-owner stories. Businesses share the mailing space and cost to reach Bloomington residences.

5,000 Rotation reaches approximately 5,000 residences per mailing, alternating between two Bloomington mailing areas each month.

Bloomington 10,000 includes both mailing areas in the same month, reaching approximately 10,000 residences.

You can view the coverage maps on our website. Mailing counts and coverage are approximate and subject to the final mailing list.

Our 2027 advertising season runs monthly from February through October. Select your preferred months in the reservation scheduler. Mailing dates are approximate.

Regular advertising requires at least three consecutive months. You can choose any consecutive run from three through nine months within the season and change ad sizes between months.

Meet Your Neighbor can also be requested as a standalone feature.

6–8 consecutive months: $100.00 Rotation / $100.00 Bloomington 10,000. Nine months: $200.00 Rotation / $300.00 Bloomington 10,000.

These offers do not stack. Savings are spread across your monthly billing. Foodie advertising is excluded. MYN months count toward the commitment when combined with regular advertising.

Choose Small, Medium, or Large advertising, or explore our specialty Foodie and Meet Your Neighbor options.

The website shows examples, dimensions, and current pricing. The scheduler calculates your reservation based on your coverage, placements, and selected months.

The interactive examples help you choose your ad size. Clicking a pictured space does not reserve that exact position. Rise Up Creative assigns final placement.

We offer one advertiser per industry, subject to availability and approval. Rise Up Creative reviews your business category before confirming your reservation.

Meet Your Neighbor is a larger feature that introduces the people and story behind your business, with room for a promotion if desired.
