Buncombe County Digest lands Tuesday and Thursday with events, restaurants, shops, and the people worth knowing about. Readers open it to find things to do and places to spend. A business featured here reads like a neighbor's recommendation.
The numbers
Roughly 2,705 people open every single issue. A placement isn't sitting in an archive waiting to be found. It goes out Tuesday and Thursday morning and most of them read it before lunch.
Beehiiv publication analytics, pulled August 3, 2026. 99.2% delivery rate over the same period. Audience skews female and lands mostly between 25 and 54.
How we're different
AVL Today and BaseLocal are good at what they do and they reach a lot of people. Their scale points them at downtown and at the businesses already on everyone's radar. We spend our time on the rest of the county, and on the small businesses nobody has written about yet.

How it works
No rate card to decode and no package to pick before you know what you need. Tell us what you're trying to fill and we'll work backwards from there.
What the business is, what you want more of, and roughly when. Seats on a Tuesday night, a grand opening, a second location.
Copy written in our voice, an image, and the social posts that go with it. You see everything and approve it before it runs.
Tuesday or Thursday morning, into 5,105+ inboxes. Afterward you get the open and click numbers for your issue.
On pricing: it depends on the format and how often you run, so we'll get to it once we know what you're actually trying to do. Nothing is locked in until you've seen the number and the draft.
“From the first feature, we saw an uptick in calls and website visits within days. What stood out most was the quality of leads. Local homeowners who already trusted the recommendation and were ready to book.”

Let's talk
Seats on a Tuesday night, appointments, a grand opening, a new location. We'll build the placement around it and write it so it sounds like us, which is why people read it. First reply usually comes the same day.
