Community Guide & Business Directory | The Connecticut Shoreline

Online Performance

  • Unlike most print publications, we maintain high-performance, high-traffic community websites for each book that complement the directories by expanding on their content. The websites offer more information on advertisers, menus for the best local restaurants, movie showtimes, and great contest prizes like dinners, tickets and vacations. And yes, Google loves us. Our sites come up as top searches for most businesses in the area. We employ search engine pros who manage an optimization program for us that result in consistently high search engine ranking for our sites. The bottom line: We are now delivering a substantial amount of bonus market penetration for our advertisers through our websites.

From the Publisher

Supporting our community means buying local.

With this year’s publication of our 21st Shoreline Book, we step into our third decade of connecting Shoreline residents to local businesses and encouraging them to become regular patrons. It’s our primary mission, now that on-line purchasing and big box stores have made it increasingly difficult for small, locally owned enterprises of all kinds to compete. Indeed, we take pride in declaring that goal on the front page of all our directories with the words Connecting Local Residents with Local Businesses to Better Our Community…Buy Local – Find it Here.

Toward that same end, we are offering newly customized advertising packages created specifically to make appearing in The Shoreline Book even more worthwhile for our advertisers. These packages include:
