The basic rates of advertising on this site are cheap.
Believe me I have
studied many, many websites now and they talk about click throughs
per million, etc, etc in an effort to confuse you.
However we are
not Tesco's or Nike or even Real Madrid. We are a part of the topiary
community who want to share the art and yes I am getting hits to
the site and enquiries from all round the world in proportions that
I did not expect from enthusiasts that only the web can bring together.
Therefore costs
are one-offs per year at:
£60
(per year) for a banner advertisement on the Where
to Buy Topiary page. This will click through directly to your
website. (See Home Page for the standard
size of banner).
Don't worry if
you haven't got a banner. I will make one for you based on images
from your own website for a one-off cost of £20.
(and yes I'll let you see if you like it first).
If you want adverts
on the Home Page or multiple inserts then it will be a bit more.
Just contact us by E-mail
for a quote.
If you haven't
got a website and just want a text entry in the list it will be
£45 (per year).
So that is cheap.
My local newspaper
charges hundreds of pounds for a single insert in one page and it
doesn't go out to the whole world and I suspect yours doesn't either...
and have you seen how much a television advert costs recently!?
Also if anyone
is interested in starting a topiary society or pooling resources
on sales for mutual benefit let
me know. What I'm not into is being a commercial grower/retailer
but I am interested in helping topiarists in the UK in whatever
way I can and if it means producing a topiary-ring on the web or
a portal to help you all I will.
As they say, I
have the webspace and I'm willing it to use it and at considerably
cheaper rates than those IT boys in tee-shirts on their skate boards.
Thanks for listening.
