Advertising

Olney Online.com puts all the information about Olney at the fingertips of YOUR customers. You will reach many, many thousands of motivated people a month.

Grow your business

Remember, advertising online has been proven to be far more cost effective than print, allowing you to reach a far wider audience than any print campaign (and for a fraction of the cost).

This is what the internet can do: “We had never heard of Olney until we came across your site. Thanks to the informative and easy to navigate website we could plan our days out...we’ve found information on nature rambles, upcoming events in the diary, sports’ activities, historical houses, market days, as well as shops, eateries and pubs. Before we even arrived, we put our order in for pet food and supplies...How cool is that! Thanks, C.H, Writer.”

It can broaden horizons for all manner of businesses, raching local people as well as visitors...

To grow your business you need to get new clients, not just regulars. OlneyOnline can reach out to thousands and draw them to your business.

...we do the marketing

Yes, we have 1500 pages and yes we perform fantastically for searches on ‘Olney’ in Google. But we don’t just rest on our laurels. Having a website, but not marketing it, is like have a shop with boarded up windows.

So we work hard on the profile of the site...writing for magazines, doing PR for events and organising the annual Olney Online Business Fair. That and our collaboration on the first Big Olney Food Festival, selling tickets online for that and the Olney Fireworks directs traffic to the site.

How do I advertise?

Either by a £99 a YEAR for an ‘online brochure.’

Or a traditional advert for £40 a MONTH which appears across many pages and ‘clicks through’ to your website or listing.

Or for maximum impact use both...

Option one – An 'online brochure' for £99 A YEAR.

An online brochure gives you much more impact on the area you are listed on the site – and you go near the top of the page - so you get greater visibility.

Because we are ranked so well on Google searches for Olney you have more chance of reaching customers searching in the town.

And with information over two pages: whether it includes your background, ethos, menus, special events, sale announcements, you have a chance to stand out.

The pages act as a ‘mini-website’ if you don’t have a site of your one. If you do have a website a link from OlneyOnline (a power site with 1500 pages and high ranking) gives you a fantastic ‘inward link’ that will help your site perform.

And with up to nine photos of you or the business, customers can see what you offer.

The benefits of this service:

Gives you free set-up costs for content and photos (and help writing it)
Gives you a link to your website helping your Google ranking
Acts as a website if you don’t have one with a direct ‘address’
Puts on opening hours and address and phone number
A link to a Google map to help customers find your business
All year round and cost effective advertising
Gives you access to put your event on OlneyOnline’s popular calendar
The internet gives you a chance to

This option is ideal if you want to show up in Google searches such as

‘Olney accountants’ or ‘Olney pet food’ ‘Olney boutiques’ ‘Olney take-aways’

On site examples include Aubergine Cook shop, The Bull, Leo Antiques & Davis Optometrists.

Rebecca Green Hairdressing has found the listing invaluable. She told OlneyOnline: “People insist they read information on ‘our website’ but in fact we put everything on OlneyOnline and that is where they’ve seen our opening hours, contact details and price lists."

OPTION TWO

2. Get their attention with a well designed advert.

We have advertising positions available down the side of most pages and all 1500 pages can take advertising. And unlike print it isn’t just get one ad'. You can fix to appear on the most relevant pages but you will also appear at random across all pages and sections of the site.

The adverts can link directly to your site, or to your listing on the site. This is ideal for products or services you want people to know about but which they might not have thought to search for.

The most visible ad's appear on the Homepage - please chat to us or email to discuss this. We know you're convinced, but just in case...

Why the web beats print advertising (okay, we're biased, but it's still all true!)

	Print	Online
Cost	Usually quite a lot	Highly affordable
Targeting	Appears in the publication. No further targeting possible.	Appears on the site: Also appears to anyone searching on Google once they have indexed your pages.
Reach	Reach existing customers - who will probably buy from you anyway	Reach out to new customers - and raise your takings
Monitoring	Not possible.	We get detailed statistics of how many people look at each page.
Changing	Not possible until next edition of the publication - and the copy deadlines may mean you need to give weeks or months notice.	Can be changed easily at almost no notice.
