Happy New Year!
We at Paper Shop would like to thank you for your readership and support throughout 2012 and wish you and yours a happy and healthy 2013!
Giveaways! This time? New flooring!
Who doesn’t like giveaways? Nobody, that’s who. Everyone likes to win free stuff, and we love to give away free prizes throughout the year. We went a little wild with the giveaways during the summer of 2012 with dozens of concert tickets, courtesy of Live Nation Entertainment. We also gave away free hotel rooms in…
Recycling? Eco-friendly? We’re on it!
Sorry, Kermit, but it is rather easy to be green. We do our best to care for the environment every week – and in a couple of different ways, too. When you think about it, our entire mission is rather eco-friendly: we provide a platform for people to buy and sell their used items. Without…
Calling all (vintage) cars!
There are used cars. And then there are used cars of the antique sort. Our Antique Autos & Parts category is one of our hottest sections, including everything from vintage cars to antique truck parts. Some of the cars are long-term projects while others are classic muscle cars for sale, all ready to show. The…
Online Advertising
When we launched our new and improved website late last week, it was a really exciting day for us. We’d listened to our advertisers and readers and tried to create a website to more readily suit their online advertising needs. If you take a look, you’ll see some changes, most notably that each ad that…
Putting on our New Year’s hats!
It’s already December 27th, so we can imagine that you’re well in the midst of New Year’s party ideas. Or perhaps you’re even thinking ahead and pondering quick weight loss (yikes!) or, more sensibly, thinking about healthy eating habits and perhaps using that home exercise equipment. Maybe it’s the year that you’ll finally get organized…
Snowstorm? Accumulation? Snow problem!
For most of the folks in our distribution area it was a white Christmas. And as nice as that can be, it’s looking like Monday’s snow was just a taste of things to come. If you’re like us, you’re a frequent checker of the forecast and road conditions. If you’re a person who likes to…
Hot gifts? Hot buys!
Furby. Rubik’s Cube. Wii. Every year’s got a few of them: the hottest and most wanted gifts for the holidays. Run a Google search for “hottest gifts of 2012” (or even take an informal survey of people you know) and we’re willing to bet you’ll hear about Keurig coffee machines, Sodastream soda makers, Kindle HD’s…
Good things come in small businesses!
… and we should know – we’re a small business ourselves! We’re known for our free classified ads, but we also specialize in local business advertising. Most of the businesses you’ll see on our pages or on our website are small ones; we’re keenly aware of the needs of these companies and we’re small enough…
On The Air
It might be a retiring Santa selling his homemade red suit just in time for Christmas. Or maybe a newly-minted hobby blacksmith on the hunt for an anvil. It’s pretty amazing, really, to think of some of the interesting people we talk to on air during Paper Shop Live! every Saturday. When we open up…
