Advertising in ECO is great for your business, great for the environment and great for the community. ECO reports on critical local issues, supports environmental initiatives and helps bring an awareness of environmental sustainability to the community.

Throughout ECO’s history, it has become a recognisable part of our community and an important part of our environmental ethic. After just its second edition, demand for the ECO had surpassed all expectations. It seems the genesis of the ECO newspaper has come at a crucial time for the Sunshine Coast.

Make sustainability your business

You can be part of this great success and ensure that ECO continues to bring environmental news, information and products to the Sunshine Coast.

Why sustainability sells

Sustainability is not just an environmental imperative - it now makes very good business sense. It is now clear that more people are becoming concerned about the environment and they are starting to act more sustainably. People now want products and services that show an appreciation for our environment and future generations.

Get noticed for being sustainable … get noticed in ECO!

ECO’s print version is printed on 100 per cent recycled paper, is greenhouse neutral, and uses soy based inks. It presents interesting and easy to read news and information about the environment and major events on the Sunshine Coast.

ECO online offers a further opportunity to gain exposure for your business and have direct click-on links to your website. We can monitor exactly how many people are clicking on your online ad so you can gain an idea of just how good ECO is at attracting the customers you’re looking for.

Who reads ECO?

Tens of thousands of people across the Sunshine Coast and southeast Queensland are reading ECO. The print version is a ‘pickup’ paper, which means we avoid creating potential junk mail and target those people looking for green news and solutions. ECO is read by a broad cross section of the community, from Brisbane in the south to Gympie in the north, including the hinterland and beyond.

Your business could provide readers with the means to act!

Readers of ECO are the perfect market for your business. They are interested in sustainability. They are inspired to act and your business will be right there in front of them. Help them find solutions.

How many people read ECO?

ECO’s print run is about 15,000 per issue, rising to 20,000 for special events.

ECO online attracts about 2,000 individual page views per fortnight, with many people making repeat visits, and we expect the numbers to increase since the creation of the new website.

Local information, local topics, local businesses

ECO fills a void in the information flow by providing an independent analysis of decisions impacting the Sunshine Coast. We do this in part by writing about people and issues that surround us, whilst nurturing independent local journalists.

Local people want to act more sustainably and ethically and they want to know where to find businesses that support the environment. Help them to find your business now.
