A look at the #BigEnquirer

Brace yourself, holiday shoppers: The #BIGEnquirer will be arriving on news racks at more than 900 Greater Cincinnati outlets Wednesday evening.

Recognizing the strong demand for our Thanksgiving Day edition, we are hitting the streets early with our single-copy edition. It will be packed with valuable content and the biggest assortment of local and national coupons and advertising inserts of the year.

This is a first for us, and we’re excited about serving our readers in a new, ambitious manner. We’re truly Cincinnati’s source for holiday shopping values and can’t-miss stories.

You can expect content from up to about 900 retailers – comprising as many as 1,000 pages of deals – to be showcased in tonight’s early Thanksgiving edition. (Most home-delivery subscribers will see the same deals Thursday morning on your doorstep.)

Look for single-sale copies at these retailers: UDF, Kroger, Meijer, Walmart, Speedway, Walgreens, Thorntons and Remke.

Live updates: Thanksgiving Day papers arrive in stores

Four lucky readers Wednesday night will get more than our biggest issue of the year. I will be visiting four stores – one each in Butler and Warren counties, in Cincinnati and in Northern Kentucky – and surprising readers with a $500 gift card to either the new Liberty Center shopping complex in Liberty Township, Kenwood Towne Centre or Florence Mall.

Follow along at Cincinnati.com, on Facebook (www.facebook.com/enquirer) and on Twitter (@Enquirer). Look for the#BIGEnquirer conversation and follow me at @OhioRAG.

Our Newsroom also is getting involved in a significant way to ensure you’ll get much more than essential Black Friday advertising content. You will find:

  • A complete shopping guide – from the weather, store hours, parking and traffic tips.
  • Our incredibly popular “Dress the Turkey” template.
  • A keepsake 20-page special section focused on the Cincinnati Reds. This commemorative issue will capture the memories and vibrancy of an All-Star summer with a special look-ahead to the Dec. 4-5 Redsfest event at the Duke Energy Convention Center and the fast-approaching 2016 season.
  • A comprehensive holiday Things to Do list, spotlighting movies and Greater Cincinnati holiday attractions and traditions.
  • Our biggest crossword of the year in our edition that day.

Thanks for reading The Enquirer and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
