Invitations Etc receives 200,000 visitors annually! The popularity of Invitations Etc is due to our adherence to strict guidelines on advertising and ease-of-use. Invitations Etc is not cluttered with graphics and is very easy to navigate. Visitors know, when perusing our site, that they are not bombarded with ads unless they specifically select the Resources topic. When they do so and select a particular category, you know they are seeking information about specific products or services. This is important to you. You know that your advertisement RELATES and your ad appears along with your competition. Your ability to catch the viewers eye will be based on your ads' content and placement. Your advertising dollar is not wasted. Consider the cost of a printed ad in a bridal magazine. A word classified runs about $500, display classified about $1000, 1/8 page display about $5000 and that is for one issue. We are always in the TOP 100 listings in "TopWeddingSites" and for most of the year, we are in the TOP 20. Important rules and facts you should consider before applying for an advertisement or listing.
Why just Invitations - Visitors to our site are looking for help with their invitations. They are either looking for advice or relevant products or services. For example, if you sell jewelry, you cannot advertise on this site. If you sell jewelry and invitations or offer an invitation printing service, you can. We will check your web site prior to accepting payment. Our Stats - As a wedding related business, you know that your sales are somewhat seasonal. Beginning with January, your business should ramp up through June, level off, then drop in November and December. Our weakest months are November and December with only ten to fifteen thousand visitors each. January jumps to 20,000 and we reach peaks of over 25,000 visitors per month from April through August. Invitations Etc receives 200,000 visitors annually. National Stats - There are about 2,000,000 marriage licenses issued annually. If you estimate that 50% of brides are using a computer and are on the Internet, then Invitations Etc is capturing 20% of the market. Web Sites - We want a visitor to be able to click on your ad and go to your site. If you have a storefront and no web site, they cannot do so. In that case, you must include either your telephone number or your email address or both in your ad copy. Special Rates - We offer a 50% ad/listing rate reduction when you add a link from at least one page on your web site to ours. Since your site may not offer all the information a visitor might need, you are directing them to THE place on the Internet where they can focus on the additional resources they may need . . . relevant to Invitations. Why not a FREE reciprocal listing? - Supply us with your web site stats showing that you get more than 25,000 visitors (not hits) per month and we will consider it. Visitor Interaction - Ask Cathy gets emails everyday asking about etiquette, wordings, printing companies, paper stock, addressing, to say the least. Often, she will point out vendors that are relevant and who advertise with us. This is a hidden but additional benefit to you. |
