Instead of just running a local brief about this community bake sale, this newspaper got involved in the action.
Don’t just tell readers about upcoming games, help them get into the game.
Readers love old photos. But be specific. This newspaper wants photos of music memories. Build galleries online.
We love animals. This newspaper offers a contest when readers can submit photos of their favorite pet.
Ask readers to submit photos of their vacation trips, homecoming dances, proms, Christmas parties, etc.
 
Encourage readers to take your paper with them on vacation and have them take photos. If you can, give the person who went the farthest every month a prize.
•  Bringing readers into your budget meetings •  Readers go above the fold •  Meeting the average folks
READERSHIP:  THE IMPERATIVES | READER INVOLVEMENT Like to win stuff? Every holiday or special event should be a signal to involve readers. Keep in mind major pop culture moments, such as the ending to the hit show the “Sopranos.” Find advertising support with each contest.
READERSHIP:  THE IMPERATIVES | READER INVOLVEMENT This newspaper asked readers what they were thankful for and filled their entire Thanksgiving edition with those good stories and photos.
Every week this paper takes a photo of something and readers are asked to call in and guess what it is.
If you’re spotted in the crowd and stop by the local bowling alley with the paper in hand, you win a prize.
