Special page promotion

A whole page can be added to this web site for a period time. That page will get instant traffic.

Because this site gets an known rate of visitors each month, a page on this web site can attract readers immediately. Standard web sites, with their own domain names, take a long time to get into search engines and reach out to an audience.

Having a page on an existing, busy web site, provides a fast track for placing content on the web.

The web designers behind this site also offer fast pages on their other site BlabyNet.

This site is published through B2B Web Consultants.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships are offered to a limited number of businesses or organisations.

In return for a sponsorship deal, Arts in Leicestershire will provide promotional messages on our most visited pages and will, where ever possible, include promotional messages within the content of appropriate pages. We will offer sponsoring bodies a written promotional plan that will highlight that body for an agreed period of time.

For certain deals we can also extend our promotion for a sponsor beyond the web site into other activities such as shows that we support, printed materials, press and radio campaigns, including acknowledgements in press releases.

Brand awareness can be promoted through our network of social networking subscriptions.

Sponsorship deals are particularly attractive to companies seeking brand exposure.

The value of advertising on line.

Each page of this web site carries advertising in the right hand column. Some pages also carry banner advertising at the top of the pages. Pages vary in the number of visitors they achieve and this is reflected in the rates that we charge for placing advertising.

Our methods and rates of advertising are explained in our Rates Card, a copy of which can be sent by email, if you request a copy through our message centre.

We can arrange a wide range of types of advertising or promotion for your restaurant, bar, pub, concert, show, business or service. We can run tailored promotional campaigns.

We can write reviews of your bar or restaurant. We can write editorial copy about your service or product.

Our web designers also have a network of other local Leicester/shire web sites which are linked into this site: Braunstone Town, Stoney Stanton, Narborough, Whetstone, Croft and Enderby. We can also broker advertising on other locality web sites.
