As we continue to grow our site, we would like to offer local businesses the opportunity to freely showcase their products and / or services. Recently we began offering FREE advertising on our website. The qualifications for an ad are:
1. The ad must be a 125 x 125 pixel square
2. The ad must not include any animation
3. The ad must be for a locally owned business, community service, educational program, or franchisee
4. The ad must link to an existing web site
5. The ad must not contain any offensive language and BuckeyeSoul reserves the right to reject any ad
We will be accepting four ads during each 30 day period. The ad group will be displayed to the right of the “Upcoming Events” section on the main page and on each sub-page in the same location. The ads will rotate randomly in the four slots on each page load.
Submitted ads will be slotted into the four available spaces on a first come first served basis. You will not be awarded a slot until we have received a copy of and approved your advertising graphic and all of the relevant information (i.e. linking web site address). If the slots are full at the time of your request, your ad will be moved into the next available 30 day period. In order to help promote a diversity of advertisements, advertisers will not be able to reserve slots for consecutive months unless a slot remains empty one-week prior to the next 30 day period. Advertisers will be notified via email with details on their ad and which 30 day period it will be placed in.
We are excited about offering this opportunity to help promote local businesses and groups. If you have any questions, please refer to the Q&A section below. If you still have questions beyond those, do not hesitate to contact us via email: info@buckeyesoul.com.
Feel free to pass this information on to other Columbus entrepreneurs.
Q & A
125×125 seems small. What can I fit in an ad that size?
Check out these examples
I have no graphics skills. Who can help create an ad for me?
We have limited skills too! We suggest getting with a local web design company. You can also try hiring a struggling art student at CCAD. We strongly recommend you high a professional to create your ad if you are not familiar with graphics design. This ad will be the first thing a potential customer will see about your business or service.
Is listing an event free as well?
Yes. Just email us the details of your event and we will place it on our Events page. If you would like to have a special mention on the main page as an article, let us know that as well. In most cases, we will be happy to oblige. Please send event requests at least 7 days in advance.
