Regular Business Ads
Traditional marketing is deader than a beehive after a bear’s gotten to it. Television, radio, and newspaper are all extremely cost prohibitive. Social media ads, while better value, are getting complex and costly. And often times, you don’t know what kind of content your ad is going to appear beside. What a buzzkill!
Advertising with www.island.buzz is easy. Send us up to 250 words of what you’d like to say, along with a photo, logo, or other artwork. Let us know if you’d like it up for a month, three months, six months, or for the absolute best value – a full year. We’ll get your ad up fast. Once your ad is posted, we’ll let you know, and you can review it on our site. From there, you can make a payment through e-transfer and you’re all set. We’ll reach out before the end of your timeframe to see if you’d like to continue with us. If so – welcome back to the hive. If not – it’s ok – we won’t feel stung.
To help you decide what timeframe and cost is right for you, please see our pricing below:
- One Month: Our minimum commitment and least expensive rate. 79 + GST
- Three months: Save some honey. About 16% per month less than our regular rate. 199 + GST
- Six Months: The savings will have you buzzing. More than 25% less than the monthly rate. 349 + GST
- One Year: You’re in the hive mind now! Best value at more than 33% less than the monthly rate. 599 + GST
Not sure what to say in your ad? For commitments of three months or more, we can help. With a number of years of copy writing for a number of organizations, we can help you craft an easy to read, effective message. No artwork? Let us try to rummage something up that’ll capture the essence of your goods or services using generative AI..
