We’ve used Mineola Buzz twice for help wanted ads. Both times, we got
immediate, same day results. We actually had to call Scott and ask him to remove the ad.

Our advertisement with Mineola Buzz produced a new tenant that we were able to tie to that ad within two days. We continue to get contacts from the page on the Mineola Buzz web site that is part of the ad we ran. We are most pleased with our return from our advertising efforts with them.

In a world of fractured ad campaigns caused by channel surfing, short attention spans and the fact that more and more Americans turn to the web every day to solve problems, Mineola Buzz delivers the goods in getting your word out to the people of Mineola and the surrounding area. Our ads reach more people than newspaper, combine the multi-media aspect of radio and TV advertising and you get the lasting effect of the phone book… all at a price that makes sense when you look at the numbers.

Regarding paid ads on Mineola Buzz:
Mineola Buzz was started to be a community site where anyone can come and get, or even post, information about the city of Mineola and things going on in town. That was our mission starting out and it still remains our mission. If you have something you would like to let people know about that is not a commercial business, chances are real good that it would be my pleasure to include it on this web site at no charge. Use the contact us form for such things as charity events, church events, sporting events or any other community-related event. You may also post such things on our Facebook page.
