About sponsored emails

Dear Readers,

At Decaturish the goal has always been to keep our content free for our readers. That means no paywalls. Email advertising is something that is extremely valuable to advertisers. They like having a direct connection to our readership.

Advertisers support the news you read and enjoy every day. They are an essential part of our business model.

In the past, we have limited our sponsored emails to no more than two per month. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily lifted this cap and will reinstate it when the pandemic subsides.

Free news is not free to produce. We have always tried to balance our revenue needs against the experience of our readers. If you value us and what we do, please understand that we will need to increase sponsored emails in the short term to continue operating. We don’t plan to send you numerous emails every single day, but you may see more than two in one month. If these emails interest you, please read them and contact our community partners about their services. If not, please don’t hold it against us. We’re doing what we need to do to stay in business. All emails will still be labeled as “sponsored” in accordance with our editorial guidelines.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected].
