Sadly,
the time has
come to say
goodbye to several
of our website
advertisers.
As per the
Advertising
Information on our
website, due
to the volume
of businesses
wanting to advertise,
we can only
accept a maximum
advertising
term of 6
months and
this means the
businesses listed
below that signed
up for advertising
in March 2010 are
now expiring.
Yellowfrog
Children's Boutique
Little Faces
Photography
Thomkah
Pottsville
Beach Massage
Seek Source
Supply
Rock Ribbons
DB+A Design
Mackay Babies
& Kids Market
NattyJane
Designs
I
would like to
take this opportunity
to sincerely thank you
for your
business and
your support
over the last 6
months.
Remember, even
though your
website
advertising has
expired, you are
still eligible
to advertise in
our newsletter
if you wish.
Part of your advertising
package is a Featured Listing in the Support a WAHP Directory but for this to
appear, you need to add the listing yourself and I will then set your listing to
'Featured' when I approve it. You can submit your listing
here. Remember to
add as many relative keywords as you can for people searching specific terms
when browsing the directory.
Back in April we migrated
over to a new directory and some of the previous listings didn't come across so
if you added your listing prior to April, please take a moment to browse the
directory here to see if
your listing is still there. If it's not, please resubmit and I will make it a
'Featured' listing for you.
If your listing isn't
appearing as 'Featured', please
email me.
Another fantastic month
invoice wise so thank you to those who are very prompt with their payments. You
make this part of my job so much easier! There are still a couple of outstanding
invoices but I will contact you separately soon.
Effective 1st August,
the advertising rates have increased slightly (by $5) which I mentioned on the
website
here and also on the Facebook page but sometimes these things are easily
missed so I'm just mentioning it again. These rate rises only affect new
advertisers and those renewing from August 1st.
If you currently have advertising with us past August 2010, you will not be
re-invoiced.
To those new to advertising
on Support a WAHP, invoicing runs on a calendar month schedule, from the first
to the last day of the month, not from when your invoice is paid or from when
you initially contact me. If you enquire mid-month, your request won't take
effect until the first day of the following month.
Please take notice of the
due date on your invoice as only one reminder will be sent. If you still
haven't received an invoice for your current advertising term, please
email me.
The Support a WAHP website
traffic has increased dramatically since it's inception in March 2010 and
hopefully you're benefiting from the additional traffic. I'm always trying to
think of ways to send visitors of the Facebook page (as this is where the MOST
traffic is obviously!) to the website.
If you're interested in the
statistics of the website, you can view previous reports below.
Google Analytics Dashboard Report - May 2010

If you are a 125x125 Sidebar Advertiser, I can track the amount of clicks your
advertisement receives from the website but unfortunately I still can't track
clicks for Top Banner Advertisers. If
you would like to know the 'click count' of your advertisement,
email me.
Also, if you would like to see a more detailed report on the
website statistics or any other area of Support a WAHP (directory, forum,
topsites, etc), please
email me.
If you aren't already aware,
the Support a WAHP Facebook page has new rules for posting on the Wall.
You'll find these rules on the 'Introduction' tab of our Facebook page
here.
Most people have been very co-operative with the new rules which is great to
see.
The new process has made the
Facebook page much less crowded and also easier for me to maintain. Having
separate days for each business category also makes it easier for me to remember
to give YOU a shoutout but sometimes I can't always get around to it. I do urge
you though to still post on the wall on the day that relates to your business!
The ‘In the Spotlight’ interviews are a part of your advertising
package and I’ve received a couple back from some advertisers (thank
you!) but I’d love to see more. The idea behind the interview is to give the
reader more of an insight into what goes into your business and to get to know
the person behind the business as well. Of course, these are optional and you
don't have to complete an interview but it will give your business that little
bit more exposure which can never be a bad thing!
Once your interview is
published, it will be stored on our website permanently and will appear on the
homepage for a few weeks/months. Your business will also receive a shoutout from
the Facebook page when your interview goes live.
You can now complete the
interviews online
here but I
urge you to complete the interview somewhere offline (like MS Word, Notepad,
etc) and copy/paste across just in case there are any complications with the
online form (and you lose all your work!).
Feel free to include any photos you want in your interview (max of
3) including your logo if possible (if not I’ll grab one from your
website or Facebook page). Photos can be of you/you and your family or
even random products from your business. You can read previous Spotlight Interviews
here.
I hope I’ve covered everything
here but if you have any questions, concerns, complaints or compliments, please feel free to email me!
Thank you all so much for your support. I look forward to doing more for you. |
