MarketSquare is a venture between RFB Advertising, Inc. and The Free Press, Inc. of Rockland, Maine.

RFB Advertising publishes in the travel and real estate markets and supports various non-profit organizations in addition to its 26-year history with The Free Press.

The Free Press is a free weekly tabloid, and has been providing midcoast Maine with community news and shopping, dining and entertainment information since 1985.

Welcome to Free Press MarketSquare! The Free Press MarketSquare site objective is to increase commerce in midcoast Maine, promoting educational courses, job postings, classified advertising and business services available in the midcoast.

Enter your job listings, an item for sale, a service you offer, or a local workshop or class. These will be combined with other midcoast offerings on an easily searchable web site.

Success will be dependent on advertisers and readers doing business on the site. Our options to expand are open and dependent on the needs of our users.

Free Press MarketSquare allows any individual or business to register with us to advertise their service or product or need. It is free to advertise. You can add photos, documents, links, rich text or position on the site as a subscriber. There are few limits on the size of a listing so take the opportunity to say what you need to and include pictures.

As a potential buyer, you have the ability to message the advertiser about an advertisement and to divulge as much information about yourself as you wish. Otherwise, the message is anonymous to the advertiser.

Advertisers, too, have the ability to make their location as general as a town or as specific as a street address as their privacy and security needs require.

We hope that you will use the site to sell, buy and broadcast the opportunities of our community.

BECOME AN AFFILIATE

Frequent advertisers are able to become 'affiliates.' making it easier to post multiple listings without starting from scratch for each one. Also, being an affiliate will allow more than one person in the organization to post listings, and to expand the presentation of those listings.

For this introductory period all features are FREE!!! So take advantage of us! There are few limits on the size of a listing so say what you need to and show pictures.
