In 1980, Bill Thomas started the Exchange to provide local businesses
and individuals an effective place to advertiser. A lot has changed since
our first edition with a circulation of only 15,500.

Today, the Exchange Network covers three counties. We reach over
78,000 households each week through the United State Postal Service.
We direct mail under the names of Exchange and Coffee County Shopper.
Households receive their local edition each Wednesday.

Our classified website, www.GetThingsLocal.com, is updated everyday
with new word ads. Our weekly print editions are digitalized to provide
readers an interactive media.

One of our most valuable assets is our audit from the Certified Verification
Council (CVC) in St. Louis. Our audit shows we reach 99% of the
households in our market.
