Put your business in front of Michigan, every week.
Michigan Small Business Spotlight is where Michiganders discover the local businesses worth their money. Sponsors get featured placement across our platforms and in the Sunday newsletter, in front of an audience that shops local on purpose.

Simple, like everything we do
1. Apply. Tell us about your business and your category through the contact page.
2. We check your category. If your category is open in your region (or statewide), it is yours for as long as you sponsor.
3. You show up everywhere. Dedicated posts, mentions woven into spotlights and the daily question posts, and the Sunday newsletter, written in the same voice Michigan already trusts, with content you can share on your own pages.
Run a multi-location business, a credit union, or a practice with locations across Michigan? Ask about custom presenting partnerships when you apply.
Your category might still be open.
Categories close one sponsor at a time, and they do not reopen while a sponsor is active. If you have been thinking about it, the time to ask is now.
