This is an established, free regional family publication and website serving the Colorado-Springs metro area for over 20 years. Fully remote, computer-only operation. There's no office lease, no physical inventory, and no equipment to manage. Editorial, sales, and day-to-day operations, is run from wherever the owner happens to be, with print production handled by contractors. That means a new owner can step in and run the business from anywhere, with minimal overhead and maximum flexibility.

- This publication competes in the local family/parenting media space in the area, which includes a mix of national parenting websites, local Facebook parent groups, school and district newsletters, and other regional print publications. Within that landscape, it holds a distinct position: it is the only local publication that maintains both a strong print presence and a strong digital presence — most competitors lean heavily into one channel or the other, but rarely sustain both at a meaningful scale.
This dual-channel strength is a real structural advantage for a buyer. It means advertisers can be sold a combined print + digital package that few, if any, local competitors can match, and it gives the business two independent, reinforcing distribution channels rather than a single point of failure. A recent website rebuild and new online event calendar further widen that digital gap against competitors who are largely print-only or have a dated web presence. - Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth potential exists beyond the current run rate. The recently rebuilt website and event calendar support paid digital products (event listings, banner ads, newsletter sponsorships) still early-stage relative to audience size. Sales have been run by a single owner-operator; adding a commission-based sales rep would let outreach scale well beyond current capacity, directly growing advertiser count and revenue per issue.
High-traffic seasonal editions (an annual area welcome issue and a summer directory guide) remain underdeveloped as premium sponsorship opportunities. As the only local publication combining strong print and strong digital reach, a new owner is well-positioned to extend that advantage further — more video/social content, an expanded email cadence, or a second directory product — while competitors catch up.
About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Owner is selling to focus on family.
- Transition Support
- The seller will provide three months of hands-on support and training following the sale to ensure a smooth transition. This includes direct training on the editorial and production workflow, covering how each issue comes together from content planning through the print deadline, as well as guidance on managing the website, email newsletter, and social media accounts day to day.
During this period, the seller will also make warm introductions to existing advertisers and key community partners, along with the print vendor and any distribution contacts, so the new owner can step into those relationships directly rather than starting cold. The goal is for the new owner to be fully self-sufficient in running the business by the end of the three-month period, with the seller available for questions as needed throughout.
An extended or ongoing consulting arrangement beyond the three months can also be discussed if the buyer would find that valuable.
