We need to raise awareness about the site, which exists to help residents and visitors of Sacramento find answers to any and all questions they may have about Sacramento and the surrounding area…The feedback that SacAsk.com has received has been positive, but more people need to know that it exists. A contest will be a fun way for people to learn about the site and its sponsors.

If you would like to support the site and get more exposure for your business, this is a very cost effective method! As a sponsor, you can have your logo prominently displayed, link(s) to your web site, business information, and mentions on social media site(s). If there’s anything else that can be done, requests are welcome too.

Prize ideas:

  • Gift certificates/cards
  • Complementary service
  • Membership or subscription

If you are interested in sponsoring the site and/or contest, please contact me.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I didn’t pay attention because we have cable, but we’re going to get rid of it to reduce our bills. So, can I still get a box or antenna for free? Where?

Unfortunately, as our family has grown, our paychecks have not. In fact, some of our income has dropped dramatically. We’re doing everything we can to maintain a budget, but our food and gas expenses are growing and the highest percentage goes to mortgage payments. We’ve made every payment on time, but we’re tempted to stop paying and look for a program that will help us restructure our loan (if that’s how it works, I don’t know). Unfortunately, it seems like there are a lot of scams out there and there’s no way we could afford another refinance if it will cost us money.

What can we do?
