It's that time of year again! Time to start thinking about (well, you probably already have been!) holiday advertising for your shop or blog. The holiday season is one of the best times to get your information out there and have people notice you; especially if you are a shop-as it's Christmas shopping season and a lot of people will be looking for wonderful handmade and unique gifts!
With so many shops and blogs out there trying to get attention at this time of year, I want to help YOU shine out above the rest. I started my annual Holiday Hotlist last year and had great success, so this year I'm adding even MORE options to help you shine-and fit it within your budget! So there are a ton of new and different sizes for the Holidays.
Above, you can see the sizes and then just below that the breakdown of what each ad includes, but I'd like to clarify some of the details.
All ads run from November 1st - January 1st
If you purchase your ad spot after November 1st it will still only run until January 1st. Booking early guarantees this is TWO MONTHS of advertising for the price you pay. Prices may be discounted based on the time of purchase. All ads come with sidebar positions. All holiday advertisers will receive a HUGE discount on further advertising in 2014, which may include freebies! This is a lot of bang for your buck!
All shops/blogs that buy ads will also be shown in my Holiday Hot List
This will be a tab right at the top of the blog where people can go in and check out all of my holiday recommendations for both reading and shopping! I like to support other bloggers and handmade shops, so I'm going to focus on these things a lot this holiday season.
Only one of these ads will be shown, and it will be at the very top, directly below my info graphic and social media and spanning over the two columns. This will be the first ad people see!
- A Featured post about you and/or your shop. (May be combined with giveaways)
- A Feature in my email Newsletter in both November and December.
- Option to Guest Post. (More than once possible with related content)
- Option to host an individual giveaway in both in November and December (this makes for more features)
- First dibs on the BIG 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway for one of your Individual giveaways!
- Option to participate in Group Giveaways for both November and December
- Included in my Reading (if a blog) or Shopping (if a shop) Guides (there will be multiple) at least three times! (Possibility for more if I find more I want to share from you)
- Optional discount shown in my discount section as well as sent out in my newsletters.
- Weekly of social media love across Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and organic mentions throughout the blog during these months where they fit.
- Bonus SECOND rotating banner ad. You will get a second ad that shuffles with other ads and shows at the bottom of every post-this is the only ad that shows in RSS and other feeds!
More Presents - 400x100
Limited number of the ads available (total subject to change but will not be many if it does) they show directly below The Biggest Gift ad spot, span over the columns just as it does, and shuffle for maximum exposure.
