Recently, Small Business Saturday was held in order to support the local economy. This has inspired me to offer complimentary advertising to any small business with revenues less than $250,000 a year through 2014. I felt this was something necessary because I started CharlotteVibe.com with the purpose of creating a platform that was affordable for all to use to gain exposure in the community. There will be some rules in effect to make sure that all businesses have an opportunity to use this platform. Thanks for all your support. Below are some details in no particular order.
- Your advertisement will be included in our Tuesday email blasts
- Each email blasts is limited to 10 first come advertising requests
- Any week that you would like to have an advertisement run, you must submit an email to [email protected] with the subject line of BUSINESS ADVERTISING REQUEST. The email must contain an image as an attachment, please do not embeed the image in the email or it will not be considered. The image that you send must be a .jpg, all other formats are not accepted. The image that you send over should not be text heavy. Information to promote your business or sale should be in text accompanied with the image.
- Due to request, we are providing an option that will allow you to have your image placed in one of the top three positions. Please know, this option has been added only as a request and we are still not going to charge a high rate beause the point of this is to make this something accessible to everyone. You may pay $25 to have a placement of 1 to 3 in the email, this is a first come first serve option. To do so, you would send to paypal the $25 to the address to [email protected].
- Email confirmations are NOT sent regarding free advertising requests. Because this is a free service, we simply don’t have the resources to send confirmations and ask that you bear with us regarding this in lieu of what we are trying to do.
- Please be considerate of other and limit requests to two emails per month.
Please note these rules may be updated at anytime to maintain a level and fair playing field for all businesses in the Charlotte area. We only ask that you share with other about our great resource and that you are active in our community. If you’re not already on our email list, click here.
