This would help small businesses greatly! I work for The Laconia Daily Sun (also a small family run business) who relies on advertising for our very existence. Through the support of our advertisers, we continue to provide local news to our readers every Tuesday through Saturday. I have been with the paper for just about 24 years and have had many advertisers the entire time. Our trusted local newspaper contains, not only news, but also ads that promote our local businesses, many of whom are struggling, yet they advertise because they see the return. Something like this could help the "little guy" who may be on the brink of closing. It is important to have top of mind awareness to continue to thrive. 2025 was not such a good year, but I think everyone is hopeful for a better 2026. This could help. Please pass.
