Check out this information from our sister publication Stroll Lakeside Area.

Times are different for businesses these days, and we get that. You may have advertised with us in the past or perhaps you were interested in advertising, but the time didn't feel right.

Stroll The Lakeside Area is about to celebrate TEN years in business and for the first time we are making available, for a limited time, display ads in a feature we call Support Local Business. This feature will be a full-page ad with 8 local businesses sharing a page. We want to give back to the community that has supported us all these years. (see attachment)

BIG NEWS for Hot Springs Small Business Owners!

Are you looking to get your brand inside some of the most desirable homes in town? Stroll Lakeside Area is opening a door that has stayed closed—until now.

For the first time ever, we are launching a dedicated "Support Local Business" community page. We know running a small business is a marathon, not a sprint, and we’re here to give you the home-field advantage.

The VIP Neighborhood Connection

Your business won’t just be "out there"—it will be delivered directly to the doorsteps of some of Hot Springs' most desirable communities, including:
Red Oak Ridge
Quail Ridge
Lotus Valley
Arlington Park
Eastgate II * ...and many more!

The Details
Cost: Only $150 per month (Yes, really).

Who is behind Stroll?
Stroll Lakeside Area is powered by The N2 Company, the nation’s leader in hyper-local media. Stroll Lakeside Area is locally owned by Tim & Mary Metcalf.

The Stroll product is designed to do one thing: build community. Unlike junk mail that gets tossed, Stroll is a high-quality, resident-driven publication that neighbors actually read because it features their stories and their photos. When you partner with us, you aren't just an ad; you’re a neighbor.

Ready to grow?

Don’t miss out on one of these 8 limited spots. When they are all sold it will be 12 months before a spot will be available again. Our next deadline is Monday May 4 to be a part of our June issue.

Struggling to find furniture that fits your space perfectly? Here are some key tips to guide you through your shopping journey:

1. Measure Your Space**: Before you start, accurately measure the dimensions of your space. Knowing the exact size helps in selecting pieces that fit well.
2. Functionality Matters**: Think about how you'll use the furniture. Whether it's for lounging, storage, or dining, choose pieces that meet your specific needs.
3. Scale and Proportion**: Keep in mind the scale of the furniture in relation to your room size. Aim for a balanced look where furniture complements the space without overwhelming it.

Furniture should enhance your living area, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Do you have any tips on choosing the right size furniture or experiences to share? Let’s help each other make our spaces both beautiful and functional!

Making more storage space at home can be a challenge, but there are several methods that you can use to make your home feel more organized and spacious.
1) Look for alternative storage solutions such as hanging shelves or
using the back side of doors for storage.
2) Utilize multi-functional furniture, like ottomans with built-in
storage or sofas that can also serve as guest beds.
3) Invest in tall bookcases, shelving units, and wardrobe towers that
can provide additional storage without taking up too much floor
space.
4) If you’re looking for a chic way to add extra storage to your
bedroom, consider installing wall shelving or hanging baskets on
the wall.
5) Organize items into bins and baskets when possible to help keep
clutter from piling up quickly and enable you to maximize any
available storage area. Labeling these baskets and bins will also
help when it comes time to look for specific items around the
house - this way, everything has its own designated spot!
