New business leads for local advertising and media sellers in Portland & Vancouver, WA

A business about to open has a grand-opening budget and no media plan, which is the best moment to sell local print, radio, outdoor, digital or a listing in a community guide. A new liquor license means a bar or restaurant planning its opening; a new health practice means a clinic that needs patients; a new registration means a company that nobody has heard of yet; a sign permit means a storefront weeks from its first day.

Launch Lookout pulls new business registrations from the Oregon Secretary of State, new liquor licenses from the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, new health practices from the federal NPI registry, and sign permits from Portland Permitting & Development and Clark County every day, and maps them around your market.

The record tells you the business name, the kind of business and the neighborhood, which is what a local media pitch needs. Restaurants and clinics are the ones with opening budgets; sign permits tell you when. A short note that offers a grand-opening package for their neighborhood reaches the owner while the plan is still being written.
