I just wanted to cover the many ways that businesses can advertise on the Warbuck Beer Blog. This blog is a chronicle of my personal adventures and enjoyment of many different kinds of beer. Beer is the world's third highest selling beverage, and billions of people around the world are familiar with or enjoy beer. As my blog grows, I expect to have more opportunities for businesses to utilize my site for their advertising needs, but at the moment, here is a list of possible ways that you can receive advertising space on my site:
- Buy an online ad- I have set up an area in a highly visible area for the sole purpose of displaying purchased advertisements. Your ad will rotate through this area for the length of time that you desire it to run. Pricing is dependent on the duration that your ad runs and you will have an unlimited amount of views and clicks during this period- this is not a pay per click ad.
- Product Reviews- One of the key elements of my blog is to review different beers. If you are a well known beer vendor, or even a local micro brewer, you may request a review of your beer for free. However, for me to use any logos or media that you have in my presentation, I will need written consent to do so (ie- I can review your beer but to make a video that has footage from an event that you hold the rights to, I need permission).
- Topic Related Businesses- If you own a bar, sports bar, liquor store, or any establishment that sells beer, and you are in the greater Chicagoland area, I can review your establishment in a showcase for a fee. I will visit your establishment, interview key employees, and write an article solely to promote your business. Out of state businesses may still request a review, but will need to pay all related travel costs (if I'm going to fly out there for a 3-6 hour visit, I can't afford to do so unless I am compensated).
- Non Topic Related Businesses- If your business is not related to the beer industry, you may still purchase an ad, but you are not able to have your product reviewed. Other than the purchase of an online ad, you may also choose a sponsorship option.
- Sponsorship- The sponsorship program will give your advertisements a higher priority on the site, as sponsors will have their own ad area and a listing on my cool sites. You will also receive a special mention at the top and bottom of my blog as well as your own sponsor page on my blog that will serve as a page long advertisement and explanation of what your company does and the products or services provided.
