For North Shore businesses

For local businesses

Put your business in front of the town.

The Daily Shore is a members-only daily paper for the North Shore — read every morning by verified local households: the people already living, dining, shopping, and raising kids in your town.

We’re inviting local businesses to be part of it: a directory listing in front of our members, in exchange for a simple member perk. No ad dashboard, no bidding, no contract, no monthly invoice — just useful local visibility inside a carefully edited member experience.

What your listing looks like

We write your listing for you from your form answers, and you approve it before anything goes live. Every listing follows the same format — your story up top, your member perk front and center:

Sample listing  ·  fictional business, shown to illustrate the format

Maple Street Books

Northbrook · Books & Gifts

An independent bookshop on Maple Avenue with a deep children's section, a wall of staff picks, and Saturday story time at 10:30. The kind of place where they remember your kid's reading level.

Member perk
10% off every Tuesday — just mention The Daily Shore at the register.

123 Maple Ave, Northbrook · Tue–Sat, 10am–6pm · (847) 555-0134

How it works

  1. Tell us about your business. The form below takes about two minutes.
  2. We write your listing. We draft a polished listing — your story, hours, and perk — and send it back for your approval. Nothing goes live you haven’t signed off on.
  3. You go live. Your listing appears in the members’ directory, and your perk runs in your town’s daily edition.

The deal

Your listing is free. In exchange, you offer Daily Shore members a perk — typically 10% off, but you set the terms, with reasonable exclusions (alcohol, gift cards, peak dates, and the like). Members get simple redemption instructions. You can change or pause your perk any time with an email — no phone call required.

What members see: your story, location, hours, category, perk details, and a direct path to book, order, or visit. The directory is curated for discovery — never ranked by who pays the most.

Questions businesses ask

Do I need to be a member?
No. This page is for you; the directory is for them.

Which towns?
All of them — Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka & Kenilworth, Wilmette, Northbrook, and Glenview. If you serve more than one town, tell us in the form.

What does the perk cost me?
Only the discount you choose to offer. There are no fees and no invoices, ever.

Can I change or pause my listing?
Any time. One email and it’s done.
