What exactly are we offering?
We are currently offering three ways for you to get your name in front of our shoppers; sidebar advertising, text link advertising and giveaways.
- Sidebar Advertising - $50 per month: Sidebar advertising is a great way to increase traffic to your site. This ad spot includes a 125 x 125 graphic ad displayed prominently in the right hand sidebar of our blog with a link back to your website or Etsy shop. In order to participate in this ad you will need to provide the graphic (unfortunately we can not support animated graphics) to be used in the ad as well as the website address you would like your ad to be linked to.
- Text Link Advertising - $25 per month: A text link is a excellent way to get your message out there. This ad spot will be listed under the 'News, Deals & Discounts' section which will be located in the right hand sidebar. This spot includes 140 characters or less (so that we can tweet your message to our followers) of text space that you can use to promote a new product, advertise a discount, announce a new launch, etc. In order to participate in this ad you will need to provide the content as well as the website address you would like your ad to be linked to.
- Giveaways - $20 per giveaway: Giveaways are a fantastic way to generate buzz about your company or product and can help raise awareness of your brand. We can customize the rules and entry method of the giveaway to best fit your needs however, we do recommend that you keep the entry method as simple as possible (i.e. only requiring an email address) and limited to one entry per person in order to encourage as many people as possible to enter. All winners will be chosen by random.org. In order to host a giveaway you will need to provide the product to be used as the prize. We will facilitate putting you in contact with the winner via email and you will be responsible for coordinating and shipping the product to the winner.
Why should you advertise with h.a.v.e.?
Because you get two for the price of one! When you advertise on h.a.v.e. your ad will also appear on the blog http://www.stephanieathome.blogspot.com/. In today's economy marketing budgets are tight, this is your chance to increase your marketing effectiveness without breaking the bank. By advertising on both of our blogs you gain exposure not only to our h.a.v.e. shoppers but to the thousands of people who read http://www.stephanieathome.blogspot.com/ each month, our twitter followers and our fans on facebook thanks to our cross-channel promotion.
