New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
New Bedford residents should be proud. With four workers, New Bedford Guide competes with or beats all of the Boston and Providence news outlets and magazines.
Here’s a list that is provided by Facebook insight data:
*For some reason, Facebook will not allow me to add The Boston Globe
The Boston and Providence news agencies and magazines on the list have considerable resources, large staffs, billion dollar parent companies and work in large markets. Greater Boston is almost 5 million people. New Bedford Guide has four workers (three full-time) and works in a city of 95,000 people. We also post far less often than the top 3 listed above.
The Facebook list above only tells part of our story – it doesn’t count reach and total engagement. On average, New Bedford Guide reaches 500,000 to 1.5 million people and engages 250,000 – 500,000 every week. On most days we reach well over 100,000 people and engage 25-50% of them. Here’s a screen capture of this week:
Here’s a look at our monthly numbers, as of May 24th, 2017:
These numbers are impressive considering we reduced our crime reporting by 90%.
I’m not posting this to get a pat on the back. Our numbers have competed with Boston and Providence for 5 years now. I’m posting this because New Bedford Guide is something for YOU to be proud of and continue to support and help grow. New Bedford Guide is a New Bedford-based, veteran owned small businesses that has come far, but still has a long way to go. We’d love to grow to 100 employees and provide the news and information our area deserves. You can help.
