Ask how a Memphis business gets into its own business journal and the loudest answer online is a locked door: an invitation only membership, presented as if being published were a privilege granted to the chosen. It is not the only door, and it is not this one. A Memphis company can simply buy a labelled article in the Memphis Business Journal, openly, with review before publishing and no invitation required. This page explains that route completely: what the article actually is, what decides its price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, your company can be published in the Memphis Business Journal
Yes. Your company can be published in the Memphis Business Journal through a paid, labelled article placement. This is not pitching a story to a journalist and hoping, and it is not a domain wide placement where nobody can tell you which city's journal your article lands in. It is a specific article about your company, in Memphis's business journal, reviewed by the journal before it is published, and permanent once it is live.
We hold a placement arrangement covering this journal, so the route is open and defined. No invitation is needed and no membership is involved. You need a company with a story worth an article, and one email to us. The sections below give you the whole picture before you decide: what the article gets you, what it looks like, who it fits, how publishing works, and what it will not do.

Picture it: your company name in the journal the distribution capital checks
Imagine the checking moment, a month from now. The lender weighs your application and opens the Memphis Business Journal, as she does every week. The logistics client deciding between your warehouse operation and a competitor's does the same. The hospital supplier review does the same. What they find is a published article about your company in the journal this city's business community trusts for its own market. Your next proposal goes out with that link inside it, and your website carries the journal's name in its "As Featured On" row.
That is what a business journal placement is bought for. Consumer coverage says people have heard of you. An article here says the community you sell to, borrow from and partner with has you on its own pages. In the city that moves America's freight, where relationships decide contracts as much as rates do, that presence is aimed precisely at the readers who sign the largest checks your company will ever cash, and it stays live every time the checking moment comes around again.
Why the Memphis Business Journal, specifically
Memphis calls itself "America's Distribution Center", and the claim is structural. FedEx has its world headquarters and World Hub here; its operations began in Memphis in April 1973 and created the modern overnight shipping industry, moving about 17 million package deliveries daily across more than 220 countries and territories. Memphis International is the busiest cargo airport in North America and the second busiest in the world. Five Class I railroads serve the city, it is the fourth largest inland port in the United States, and more than 100,000 people work in transportation related occupations. Beside logistics sits medicine: Memphis is the second largest centre for orthopedic device manufacturing in the US, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and AutoZone are headquartered here.
Two of the journal's own institutions show who this audience follows. Its 40 Under 40 is an annual list, with honourees profiled in the journal and celebrated at an event. Its Best Places to Work rests on third party Quantum Workplace anonymous surveys, credible enough that one local firm held the large category's top spot for the tenth time in 11 years in 2025. The journal also publishes dozens of lists a year, feeding its Top 100 Private Companies and its Book of Lists. The supporting figures sit underneath, stated honestly: our outlet directory records the business journals' platform at a Domain Authority of 91 with 7.8 million monthly organic visits across the journals' site. Those are platform figures, not a claim about the Memphis edition alone. The benefit was never raw reach. It is reach into the exact room where your next client, lender or partner is sitting.
What a sponsored article in the Memphis Business Journal actually looks like
Precision matters here, because vague offers are where buyers of business journal placements get hurt.
The article is a full article page inside the Memphis Business Journal on the journal's site. The city is named and fixed before you pay anything: your article runs in this journal, not in an unspecified journal somewhere in a network. It is labelled as paid content, under the journal's rules. The journal reviews the article before publishing it, so nothing goes live unreviewed. Once published, the placement is permanent; it does not come down at the end of a campaign window, because there is no campaign window attached to it.
Two clarifications protect you. The placement is not a list entry: the journal's lists come from its own research and are never sold, by us or anyone. And it is not a membership contribution; you are not writing as a member of anything. You are buying one thing, stated plainly: a reviewed, labelled, permanent article about your company. The article links to your company, and those links follow the journal's paid content rules and carry sponsored attributes. A plain editorial dofollow link is not part of a paid placement, and a seller who promises you one should be asked hard questions. This is a web article in the journal, not a print piece.
One city, one journal: why the Memphis edition is the whole point
The journal's site hosts dozens of separate city business journals, each with its own readership of local decision makers. A placement is bought in one named edition, and the edition is the product. Your lenders, logistics clients and partners read the Memphis Business Journal. An article in another city's journal, however fine that journal, does nothing for the checking moment in Memphis.
This is exactly where domain wide offers fail their buyers. A seller who quotes you one flat arrangement for "the business journals" without naming your city is selling you a slot in a system, not a presence in your market. Here, the market is chosen by you, confirmed before payment, and printed in the article's home: the Memphis Business Journal. Readers weighing several markets can find the wider picture in The Business Journals guide, and logistics firms selling nationally often weigh the Dallas Business Journal guide beside this one. The buying decision, though, is always one city at a time, and for a Memphis company it is this one.
Who this is built for, and who should skip it
This placement is built for Memphis companies whose next big yes comes from another business: logistics and warehousing services, medical device and health care suppliers, manufacturers, and professional practices of every kind. It also fits companies outside Tennessee that sell into the Memphis distribution economy and need the city's own business journal in their proof set when a buyer here checks them.
It does not fit a purely consumer business chasing foot traffic, which needs its customers' eyes rather than the business community's. And it does not fit anyone expecting an article to deliver instant sales by itself; a journal placement compounds credibility over every deal that follows it, and it should be bought with that horizon. If you are comparing outlet types before deciding, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content walks through the fit honestly.
How publishing works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your company name, your website, and what the article should say. That email is the entire application.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm your company and topic fit the journal, and you receive your individual quote for the Memphis Business Journal. The factors behind it are in the next section.
Step 3: The article. You supply the article, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way it is prepared for the journal's review.
Step 4: Journal review. The journal reviews the article before publishing. Nothing about your company goes live in its pages unreviewed.
Step 5: Your live link. The article publishes in the Memphis Business Journal, and the live link is yours: for proposals, for your site's press row, and for every checking moment from then on.
Your protection, in full, before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing.
What decides the price of a Memphis Business Journal article
There is no printed price for this placement, and the reason is structural, not tactical. The price is decided by the market edition chosen, by the article's scope and whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, and by the placement specifics of your article. Questions about what it costs to advertise in this journal point at display advertising, which is a different product bought a different way; this page prices one thing only, the sponsored article about your company.
So every placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation attached to asking. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind business journal quotes in full. What matters at this step is simple: the figure you receive is the figure for your company, your article, and the Memphis Business Journal, and the refund protection above stands behind it.
The honest limits, and how to start
The limits, in a few lines. The article is labelled paid content; it is not editorial coverage and it is not the journal's newsroom endorsing your company. It guarantees no search ranking, no traffic figure and no clients. What it guarantees is the thing itself: a permanent, credible article about your company in the journal Memphis's decision makers read, published under the journal's own review.
If that is the asset your company is missing, the next step is one email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your company name, your website, and the story the article should tell. You will receive a fit confirmation and your individual quote. Our services page covers the wider picture of what we arrange; this placement begins with that email.
