Marketing Packages
We offer multiple options for advertising in either 3, 6, and 12-month terms. Whenever possible, we recommend a 12-month campaign because it provides a consistent connection with our readers via social media, newsletter, direct email, and the greatest discounts. Let's customize a package that best fits your goals and needs!
Package options may include:
- Website ad, either Sidebar (300 x 250 pixels) or Banner (728 x 90). Ad artwork can be changed as often as needed. Ad can be one static image or rotating images (gif). We can even create the ad for you!
- Unlimited event calendar listings for your events (one-time events open to the public; we cannot list classes or camps on the event calendar)
- Feature articles (content and photos to be supplied by the advertiser, subject to editing for content and length) published in our weekly newsletter and included on our website homepage. Articles published per your schedule; schedule an article every 6 weeks for consistency or spread your time-sensitive message with several articles over a 1-2 month period.
- Dedicated eblasts to all subscribers focused just on your business and message.
- Business Directory listing
