Advertising Opportunities

TownPost offers a range of advertising possibilities that allow for reaching out to our vast and growing audience of rural Canadians.

Top Ads

Top Ads appear at the top of the listings pages for that category and town. Example: If I post in the Sporting Goods section for Whitecourt, AB, my ad will appear at the top of results for both Whitecourt and for Sporting Goods. Whenever someone searches for ads by a particular keyword, Top Ads will appear at the top of results if they match the search term.

When you create an ad on TownPost, you can choose to upgrade to a Top Ad. Pricing is based on the number of days you want the ad to remain in the Top Ad positioning. There are automatic discounts for buying ads that will appear for longer durations.

Top Ad Bulk Buys

If you want to post a certain number of individual Top Ads over a period of time, you can pre-pay for these ads and get a discount (up to 20%). This discount will apply on top of any existing discounts based on the duration of the ads. Interested? Please reach out to us here

Banner Ads

If you want to promote to large sections of TownPost's user base, drive traffic to come to your website or social media link, or if you are offering a service or product that doesn't fit well with the classifieds format of TownPost (such as events), banner ads may be a good solution for you. Prices can be tailored to your budget and will depend heavily on what segment of the site's user base you are pursuing.

Here are a few specimen rates (please get in touch with us for latest prices, these are merely some examples from the past):

• $2000 / month for a large, above-the-fold banner ad to reach all firearms-related users (firearms category pages, town and firearms pages, and ad pages).
• $100 / month for a small banner ad, displayed below the fold for a single town or niche content area.
• $750 / month for a small banner ad displayed above the fold to reach all firearms-related users.
• $500 / month for the same ad at the bottom of the page (below the fold).
• $1200 / month for the same ad to the right of the list of results (but above the fold).
• $1000 / month for an ad showing throughout Alberta (above the fold).

Don't have a banner ad already? We can work with you to come up with a design that will be most likely to integrate directly into the look and feel of the site. We may even be able to offer this service for free.
