We're Looking for 20 16 More Businesses or Non-Profits Who Share our Vision
Want to be part of our "Local Social Media" effort to promote buying local, living green & thriving here in the heart of Montgomery County? Invest in the future of Rockville and the future of your business by buying an ad space here and enabling us to get the word out about what you offer. Here's what we provide each of our advertisers:
- Visibility
On every page at RockvilleLiving.com with advertising, we'll display your ad in the large space (up to 300 x 450) at the upper right of every page at the site with advertising, like the ones on the right. Link your ad to any url you wish (eg, your website, your company Facebook page, a coupon page, or any other url you specify)
- A Social Media-Ready Listing
Your custom listing page at Rockville Living contains only information about your organization and events, which allows you to provide only information and photos relevant to your business when you post the link at social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. (Non-advertiser listing pages include links to other content at Rockville Living).
- Value
As a thank you to our early investors, we guarantee our first 20 advertisers a CPM of under $20. We currently serve between 80,000 and 100,000 pages per month at RockvilleLiving.com and are capping available ad spaces at 20. This allows us to focus on providing great service to those advertisers while we build up traffic to the site. When traffic increases enough to add more spaces and still keep your CPM below 20, we'll do that (while later advertisers will pay more for the same ad space).
- Flexibility
Swap your ad out with another at any time. We can also pre-arrange to crop, resize or otherwise modify your weekly publication (sales flyer, coupons, etc) for posting in your ad space, like the one for Dawson's Market on the right.
- Good SEO
Because directory listing pages for our advertisers contain only the advertiser's information (including current ad, business description, photos, notes, events and/or job openings), site visitors can easily find the information they're looking for there, and search engines are provided relevant and up-to-date information to use to improve your SEO ranking.
- Prominence where it matters
Featured businesses (read: advertisers) get top-of-page expanded listing on all relevant directory pages AND on relevant search results pages, appearing in the order in which they signed up for advertising.
- Social Media Promotion
We pay attention to what our advertisers are doing and offering, and use that information to promote you on our Facebook page and via Twitter.
- 24/7 Access
We'll set up a password-protected account through which you or your marketing, PR or outreach folks can post news, photos and events any time.
