Advertise in TCHS Alumni News

TCHS has approximately 15,000 alumni and many more friends and relatives living in the US and around the world. The proportion who are registered grows continously. In addition to the hundreds of alumni who visit weekly -- requesting thousands of page views, we are the only Temple City oriented news site on the 'net*. This is a great way to reach readers looking for services in the central San Gabriel Valley.

UPDATE: 8/21/06 - Last week we served 14,997 page views, a relatively light week. Total page views now exceeds 1.2 million. Are you reaching this long-term market?

UPDATE 7/21/08 - Our historic long count has now reached 3.3 million pages. Your business could be benefitting.

Here are some examples of how your business or organization could use your announcement:
  • RESTAURANTS: Publish your menu and/or specials
  • GROCERS: Publish weekly specials
  • AUTO DEALERS: Offer special programs for TCHS alumni
  • REALTORS: Link readers to your listings -- in TC or around the world
  • TRAVEL INDUSTRY: Alumni have to get to the reunion and stay somewhere
  • YOUR BUSINESS: You would know better than we.

Donations from advertisers are used to support alumni programs including this publication. Net proceeds are contributed to TCHS Alumni News scholarship programs.
