Why It Works
Editorial Independence Is the Product
Readers trust Stumptown Savings because we've never sold that trust. When a local business appears in our newsletter, readers know it's there because it belongs.
No Pay-To-Play Deals
Deal coverage is always editorial. Advertisers get a clearly labeled ad slot — they never get to influence what we cover or how. Readers know this, and it's why they open every issue.
Journalism-Grade Credibility
Covered by Bloomberg, 99% Invisible, Willamette Week, and KGW. We've broken local food news and run blind taste tests with James Beard Award-winning judges. Readers see us as a news source, not a deals aggregator.
Press & Credibility
Portland's Grocery Beat — Independently Verified
In just over a year, Stumptown Savings has become the go-to source for Portland grocery news. We built the Portland Price Tracker — a monthly survey of 20 staples across 20+ stores with over 4,300 data points — and reporters cite it regularly. Our blind taste tests have featured judges, including former Simpsons showrunner turned food critic Bill Oakley, Crystal Ligori of OPB, and Katy Osuna, a James Beard Award-winning food producer.

Partnership Options
Flexible Placements Get You Results
All placements are clearly labeled as advertising. Rates are based on our current subscriber base and subject to change as we grow — booking now locks in current pricing.
Newsletter Ad
Every ad runs as a rich placement — labeled, linked, and seen by every reader.
Appetizer
One issue. One advertiser. Your message reaches 5,000+ Portland grocery shoppers as the only commercial placement in that edition — a rich ad unit with headline, image, copy, and link. Available in Tuesday and Thursday editorial issues.
Newsletter Ad
Full-week sponsors appear above the first word of content, every issue, all week.
Entrée
The most visible placement we offer. Your brand appears in both Tuesday and Thursday issues in the same week — and you're the only advertiser readers see all week long.

Includes a mention in our weekly social content.
Sponsored Send
Dedicated Email

A sponsored send is a dedicated email delivered directly to Stumptown Savings subscribers — 5,000+ Portland shoppers who already trust what lands in their inbox from us. Because of that trust, we accept sponsored sends on a case-by-case basis only. Limited availability.
Social Content
TikTok & Instagram
