FREE and commercial advertising and marketing options
We work hard to drive relevant traffic to our site, and we strive to be informative, interesting and entertaining for our visitors. Hence, promotions and adverts on our site are much more likely to be read – and clicked! – than on more-passive sites. We promote our site and its content using Social Media, Paid Advertising, Email Marketing, SEO and Partnership Marketing.
Because this site is a specialist coffee site, we are not cluttered by other products or services. Therefore, our visitors are usually interested in coffee and associated items.
And, we think our commercial options are very affordable. Why not try us?
Options
There are a number of ways to use our site for marketing, and we are flexible and happy to consider suggestions.
Advertising
Our site is responsive, so it works well on all devices on desktops, tablets and mobile. Our main adverts types usually appear in three places:
- In the sidebar – for typical desktop and laptop visitors.
- At the top of the main blog page and at the top of the blog category views – for typical tablet and smart phone visitors.
- Near the top of each blog article, when reading the blog article – for all visitor types.
Advert sizes
Because the site is responsive, a single size of 900px wide will work for every advert position on the site- they will flex to the available space. However, we know that some ads will not work as well when shrunk down (i.e. to fit the sidebar), so we also offer a 400px-wide option only for the sidebar. You can have both.
These are the sizes of Advert creative we accept:
- 900px wide and 200px tall, as jpg files
- 400px wide and 300px tall, as jpg files
Important Note to Advertisers
All paid links from this site’s adverts are marked up as “nofollow”, so that we do not pass Page Rank to the linked sites. This is best practice, and necessary so as to not violate Google’s search policies. To be clear, we will not accept advertising that may artificially influence Page Ranking.
How do I proceed?
We don’t list our advertising prices here as they are scaled depending upon requirements, duration, and other factor. But we always want to give great value, so get in touch for a friendly conversation about what you are looking for.
Monthly Promotion Partner
Our Monthly Promotion Partner program is a very cost-effective method for other UK companies to drive increased awareness, traffic and sales. This is a mutual program and is simple to enrol and operate. See our Partner Promotion page for details.
Advertorial
If you cafe, product or service offers something different or unusual, why not tell our readership about it? For example, you could write an article for our blog page (e.g. a Cafe Review).
The advertorial would link to your own web page. So, if you have a cafe on the edge of cliff, if you sell special coffee, have regional speciality food, or perhaps your location has some historical importance, let our readership know!
Note that we retain full editorial control and approval, and we seek to validate all information so that our site remains honest, open and truthful. We mark the blog as an advertorial and we won’t link to marketing or affiliate sites. For something really unusual, we would consider posting the article for free, otherwise we may request a small one-off charge of £50 for the post to be online for 6 months.
