Offer positioning
Founding issue sponsor
Useful local valuation, conveyancing, removals, interiors or renovation help for Winchester-area households.
Put one practical Winchester moving or home-service offer beside the morning briefing once editorial approval and live send proof exist.
Founding issue sponsor
Resident-useful opening, booking, menu, service or seasonal offer from Winchester, Alresford or Bishop's Waltham.
Reach local readers with one practical offer before the day starts, without claiming audience volume until Buttondown analytics are verified.
Weekly Winchester partner
Dated theatre, restaurant, market, attraction or experience information that helps residents plan the week.
Use repeated weekday placements for a current Winchester-area plan, with reporting limited to verified post-send facts.
Founding issue sponsor
Open days, tutoring, childcare, family services or student support with plain-English eligibility and safeguarding-safe copy.
Place one reviewed family or education offer in front of Winchester-area readers after compliance-sensitive claims are stripped out.
Approval packet
Advertiser name, public website, service area and approval contact.
Package slug, requested date window, placeholder Buttondown sponsor tag and placeholder Stripe lookup key.
Landing page, headline, body copy, CTA and plain-text fallback.
Proof-ledger safe claims only; no subscriber count, open rate, click rate, conversion or guaranteed reach claim.
Compliance flags for housing, finance, legal, medical, education, employment, alcohol, prizes and discounts.
Explicit editor approval tied to the named sponsor, price, dates, copy and placement before any live action.
Blocked claims
Do not say the sponsor will reach a measured audience until Buttondown subscriber and send analytics are verified.
Do not promise exclusivity, conversion, sales, open rate, click rate or referral performance.
Do not describe inventory as reserved until the editor approves the sponsor and manual hold.
Do not send outreach from cron or automation.
Next actions
Use the readiness queue to select exactly one sponsor lane for manual shortlist research.
Fill the approval packet with public proof and compliance flags before asking for approval.
Keep checkout, Buttondown tags and reporting fields as placeholders until live sponsor operations are explicitly approved.
