Services and advertising

We provide our help with a genuine local angle. If you’re a local plumber, hairdresser, builder etc much advertising can be wasted when you’re not targeting your geographical region enough. We also provide help for small budgets. You may want 5 hours a month of assistance or one hour. You may want a banner ad on the site for a 7 days or 7 months.

Advertising and promotion

Advertise:

• through a sponsored post on our website (can include shout-out on Facebook and Twitter). Starts at $95. Include up to 800 words and several images.
• in the Carindale Connect enewsletter. $50 ( image, words and link/s).
• via banner ads (leaderboard, right hand side panel or on particular pages). Costs vary.
• by providing prizes/giveaways: promote your business through your products/services we can give away in competitions. There is a minimal cost for us to promote and run the competition / giveaway etc.
• Free event listing – We list local events for free on our events page.
• We often get asked to share items on our Facebook page. We will normally do this (and state that it’s ‘advertising’) for people who advertise with us. However, if we shared everything on Facebook that people asked us to it would start looking spammy for our Facebook followers. We’re not necessarily in a position to ‘endorse’ the things people ask us to post. We often share items on Facebook that we think are important or interesting from a news/information/community aspect.

Local issues – getting coverage

We provide a platform for you to get your ‘letter to the editor’ published. Although, it’s more of a letter to the community than to the editor. Have your say now.
