This year we are forecasting 55,000 individual visitors, making over 250,000 visits, with over 1.5 million pages and 6000 hours on site. This puts the site amongst the best niche sites in the region and makes it a major success story.

So what does this all mean?
It means we have a unique promotional opportunity which is now available to those businesses connected with the sale and purchase of new and existing properties. Whether you are a property developer, services supplier or involved in post-purchase activities, we can deliver an audience who are both focussed and looking to spend money on their existing or new home or its sale or purchase.

We have visitors to our website who will not be aware of who you are or what you offer. By linking with us, through the website, you can raise your awareness amongst potential customers. Compare this with the other media channels available to you. How many people read the Property Guides in our regional and local press – it falls well short of the claimed total circulation and print run. Door-to-door works, but how many mailers get thrown in the bin. And radio and T.V are really just for bigger campaigns.

To ensure we get people visiting our website, we promote it constantly. Our corporate identity includes our web address, ensuring it is promoted wherever our logo appears. This includes our For Sale Boards, as well as all our advertising. We run adverts in the local newspapers and magazines. These take the form of property adverts as well as corporate half and full page adverts. By advertising on our website you will be buying into this spend and taking advantage of it.

Visitors to our website come to it for a reason. They either want to buy or sell a home, new or old. And because of this, they need to make link purchases.

What do I have to do next?
There is no charge for the creation of the initial advert, assuming you supply your logo and any body copy to our design team. If you want to make any future changes to your advert you can make them as often as you like and it will only cost you £30 for any amount of work, big or small.

The cost to advertise is charged monthly by standing order and you’ll get an invoice to support your monthly payment. There are no other means of payment; we want to keep administration costs down to a minimum so you get a better deal.

Opposite are links to a downloadable Rate Card complete with an Order Form, and Guidelines for Artwork creation.

Simply select from one of the five options and send the completed Order Form back to us. We will get back in touch with you to get all the information we need to put together our on-site advert. You’ll get the final copy for approval and a couple of days later your advert will be up on the site. It couldn’t be simpler.
