Our Business Model

How Swiss View Wire sustains independent coverage

We operate as a reader-supported publication in Switzerland with memberships, optional one-time support, carefully labeled sponsorships, and a small shop. Some long-form pieces and archives are available to members behind a light paywall. Pricing and contributions are in CHF. Availability and offers may change.

Memberships

Monthly or annual plans in CHF support day-to-day publishing. Members usually receive weekend deep dives, photo sets, and select archived pieces. You can cancel anytime.

One-Time Support

Prefer a single contribution? Tip jars are available with a simple, secure checkout. Contributions help cover reporting trips and editing.

Newsletters

The daily briefing is free; a member weekend edition adds context, links, and photos. You can switch frequencies or unsubscribe with one click.

Labeled Sponsorships

We sometimes host clearly marked sponsor messages relevant to life in Switzerland (events, culture, mobility, housing resources). Editorial decisions remain independent.

Shop & Prints

Limited-run prints, postcards, and calendars featuring Swiss scenes. Stock is small-batch and may sell out; restocks are announced in the newsletter.

Events & Workshops

Reader meetups, photo walks, and practical sessions are scheduled a few times per year. Tickets are in CHF and typically cover venue and production costs; past attendance does not indicate future availability.
