Reach More People: Post on Martha's Vineyard Patch

It's free, it's easy and it works. You can even login with Facebook to get your message out to more people on and off the Island who follow MV Patch and subscribe to our daily newsletter.

Community bulletin boards, like this one at Waterside Market in Vineyard Haven, are the traditional way to reach passing community members with your announcements, events, notices and business cards.

Here's another option that can get your information in front of thousands of Martha's Vineyard Patch subscribers and readers with just a few clicks: Post it on Patch.

  • We offer free announcements for just about anything you want to publicize, like for-sale and wanted-to-buy notices, real estate listings, sports results and school awards.
  • Patch also has free listings for events, and all businesses, nonprofits and other groups on the Island are entitled to free listings in our directory: Email directorysupport@patch.com with your business info if it is not on our site.
  • If you have longer announcements like honor rolls, government notices and personal opinions, you can post them directly in our Local Voices section. 
  • Don't miss the Vineyard Flea Market where you can post pictures of things you want to sell and browse items for sale.

You can even login via Facebook for ease in posting. Don't forget a photo, if you have one that you took yourself, to attract readers' eyes.
