Hawaii newspapers are an effective means of obtaining current news and other information for your business. They are packed with information on real estate and can provide insight into the attitude of Hawaii residents toward your business and the market for your products and services.
Newspapers in HI also represent an opportunity to announce any news related to the move or establishment of your business, or new products you might be introducing. Benefit from this by advertising with display ads or in the classified section, or give an interview to a local business reporter. Specialty, or niche, publications also allow you to promote your business to a focused audience.
A HI newspaper will almost certainly have a website. You can do the following with Hawaii newspapers online:
1. Research real estate listings in different areas of Hawaii to find the best location for your business.
2. Use the search features on the website of a Hawaii newspaper to display all of the articles on a particular event in chronological order so you can track the story as it unfolds.
3. Get informed on current events from many different cities without a subscription. Most newspaper websites offer free registration.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Take advantage of the reach of major daily HI newspapers
These newspapers are frequently known as 'state' papers because their coverage includes the entire state. A metropolitan paper may have bureaus in other cities and can provide a great depth of information because of their large staffs and many resources. State papers also usually have the most comprehensive HI obituaries. Because of their statewide circulation, major metro daily newspapers offer an opportunity to advertise your business to the largest audience.
I recommend: Among Honolulu newspapers, the Star-Bulletin is the major daily publication. The Hawaii Tribune-Herald is in Hilo and is also a major Hawaii newspaper.
Use smaller daily and non-daily newspapers in Hawaii
Daily and weekly newspapers in smaller communities focus on local news such as church events and Little League scores that a newspaper in Hawaii with a larger circulation tends to ignore. Reach a local audience by advertising in a daily or non-daily publication, or buy and sell used office equipment through their classifieds.
I recommend: The West Hawaii Today in Kailua-Kona is a mid-size daily paper that focuses on community information. The North Shore News keeps the residents of Oahu informed on local events on a twice-monthly basis.
Target your advertising in a specialty newspaper in HI
Most major cities have some type of entertainment newspaper, business journal or other niche publication that caters to a specific interest. These papers also may have blogs that can give a personal view of life in that community. If you're looking to increase your business network or promote your business to a specific group of readers, a niche publication may be the approach you need.
I recommend: The Pacific Business News reports on business events in Honolulu. The Aloha News covers the arts, independent news and other events in Maui.
