Advertising Menu & Policies

Thank you for your inquiry and interest in advertising on TheSurvivalMom blog.  As of November 23, 2010, my blog has received over 1.3 million page views and averages 2,000 visitors each day.  My Google Page Rank is currently 5, and my Alexa ranking is 192,103.  Additionally, my weekly newsletter goes out to  more than 1,600 readers and has an open rate of 91%.

As a sponsor, your link will appear in the sidebar of my newsletter, and any special offers or discounts will be listed on my Breaking News page.  You are welcome to provide products for my occasional blog giveaways as well as coupon codes for discounts and exclusive offers for my newsletter readers.  When you join my team of sponsors, I will write a blog post informing my readers of your product line and any other information you would like me to provide.

To accommodate nearly any advertising budget, I offer a menu of options to choose from.  I’d be happy to talk with you about these options and put together a package that works for you, your goals, and your budget.

• Top-tier sidebar ads:  These ads are placed directly beneath the blog’s ‘Breaking News’ bar and rotate.  Animated ads are welcome but must be aproximately 234 x 60.  (These four slots are currently filled.)

• Standard sidebar ads: Located beneath my newsletter sign-up form, you can purchase space in these sizes:  (Space is limited.)

120 x 240 vertical banner

234 x 60 half banner

125 x 125 square button

• Newsletter sponsorship:  Priced per week.  Your ad (with a link) will be the only one appearing in the newsletter sidebar.  To increase the impact of your ad, you’re welcome to provide a discount with an exclusive coupon code or a product giveaway for newsletter subscribers only.  With an open rate of 91%, you’re assured that your ad will be seen by hundreds of focused readers.

• Advertorial:  This is a one-time featured blog post, written by me, reviewing your company and product line.  It can be combined with a product review.  Pay once, and it remains in my blog archives forever.

• Product review package: I am happy to consider a product review and offer the review with a one-month sidebar ad (125 x 125).  Email me for current rates.  This maximizes the impact of the review and gives you 30 days of advertising. Please note that the product must be of interest to my readers with no guarantee of a positive review.  I always strive for accuracy, integrity, and providing value to my readers.

• Product giveaways:  I love giving products away to my readers!  I hold 4-5 product giveaways/contests each year, and you’re welcome to provide a product.  As part of the giveaway publicity, I include 2-3 sentences about your product and a link to your site.  Once the winner has been determined, it’s your responsibility to mail the item to him or her directly.

TheSurvivalMom blog has been blessed with publicity from interviews with Newsweek, local television, The Glenn Beck Show, podcasts, major blogs and more.  You can read these interviews at my “As Seen On tab located at the top of my blog’s homepage.

Again, thank you for your interest in and enthusiasm for TheSurvivalMom blog.  Please email lisa @ thesurvivalmom. com for current prices and to discuss how we can best work together.
