More NC Event Advertising Opportunities
We currently offer the following paid advertising opportunities on our website and our email newsletter:
- Monthly Roundup Article Guaranteed Placement: Events are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for our monthly roundups of events. These articles receive thousands of views each month. At the end of your event description, your event will be marked as “(Sponsored)” to comply with FTC regulations. Events will receive placement in the top two spots on the list to ensure the first and most possible attention. (Ex. The first ad received will be listed on top, and the second ad received will be listed second.)
- Email Newsletter Featured Partner: Our weekly email newsletter will feature your event after the introduction of the main topic. (Previous Example)
- Social Media Promotion: We’d love to share your local event on our social media pages. Opportunities include product giveaways, videos, photos, and more!
Contact us for questions about these advertising opportunities, submitting longer events, bulk discounts, etc. Also, please refer to our media kit for more information about our readership, stats, and overall reach.
