Why you should advertise:
I highly recommend Chelsea Now to anyone thinking of placing an ad in this focused, terrific local paper. Since placing my ad with the paper I have had many positive responses resulting in new customers for my business who have returned more than once. I especially recommend Douglas Thomas who actually delivers on all of the promises he makes on behalf of the paper with real thoroughness and an easy-going, yet always professional, courtesy. Advertising with Chelsea Now has been a very pleasant (and income-producing) experience -- a rarity!
