70and73 Land explodes onto your smartphones and computer screens
For a journalist, nothing is more exciting than a great story to tell. And 70and73 Land has many great stories.
Geographically, 70and73 Land is composed of Cherry Hill and Voorhees in Camden County and Evesham/Marlton, Medford, Medford Lakes and Mount Laurel in Burlington County.
But let’s move beyond these limiting government definitions of our local borders. Besides sharing an affinity for living along Routes 70 and 73, these communities are remarkably similar: from schools to kids’ sports to dining out to shopping to concern over taxes to angst about traffic jams on, well, 70 or 73 or the many two-lane roads. On average, family incomes in 70 and 73 Land also are very close.
This audience is the primary target of 70and73.com, which was born on February 3, 2020.
Size of this audience? About 214,000 people and 82,000 housing units. Median family incomes by town range from $116,526 (Mount Laurel) to $133,299 (Medford) and median house values range from $265,900 (Mount Laurel) to $360,900 (Medford), according to the 2013-18 American Community Survey (Census Bureau).
On 70and73.com, we offer news, information and other content presented fairly and devoid of opinion. Our emphasis is on journalistic depth: Rather than saying simply what happened, we strive t0 provide the “so what” and the “now what,” often including potential solutions to challenges. We move far beyond the low-hanging fruit of rewritten news releases and the latest arrests that have become the fodder of many legacy media websites. Our emphasis is on relevance. If you ask “What does it mean to me?” and we can’t answer, then it shouldn’t have a spot on 70and73.
On 70and73.com, we offer a marketing platform for businesses with an emphasis on small and local -- just like us. Our marketing solutions range from traditional digital advertising to ways to tell a business’ story. We deeply respect entrepreneurs and small business owners and the passion they have to serve their communities.
Most important of all, 70and73 is a locally owned small business on the rise that loves this part of South Jersey and wants its residents and businesses to prosper. We’re local residents, too. You’ll find us behind you in line at the supermarket, at the next table in the restaurant and squeezed into a student desk at back-to-school nights.
