What People Are Saying


"The new Community Marketplace online publishing system from Matchbin driving Prep Central has allowed us to post content quickly and organize it in a way that allows viewers to find it easily. It is intuitive, easy to use and provides small newspapers with tools normally reserved for major chain-owned newspapers."


—Jim Alred, New Media Director
Rome News-Tribune

“Matchbin has brought a much needed comprehensive solution for the small to midmarket papers. They can now have a professional online presence that has new revenue opportunities and keeps complete control of the paper where it belongs, with the publisher.”


—Ed McCaffry, Publisher
Daily Sparks Tribune

“After purchasing my upgrade from The Davis Clipper, I was ecstatic to find that my ranking in Google search results had been elevated substantially. I now show up as the top search listing for key terms for my business. Not just on the first page, the first listing!”

Pioneer Newspapers

Pioneer Newspapers implemented a competition to help their sales force produce high revenue numbers. The competition was based on the number of business listings sold in a direct head to head competition between the Pioneer Newpapers and on the rep to rep level. Over half of the papers hit their stretch goals and 2 sales reps hit 8 accounts on the week. They sold over 100 listings and made $88K in 5 days. Currently they have made over $350K in revenue and are figuring out how they can produce more.
