Advertise With Young House Love
What does sponsoring Young House Love get you (beyond the appreciation of two home bloggers, a baby girl, and their 8lb chihuahua)?
Well, you’ll get a 24/7 sidebar button on every single page of our highly-trafficked site as well as a monthly in-post shout out complete with an image and a text-link that will forever live on our site. We’re honored to have been:
- Voted as the best home design blog of 2011 by Apartment Therapy readers
- Named the 12th best design blog on the entire planet by London’s The Times
- Seen on CNN, The New York Times, HGTV, The Nate Berkus Show, RealSimple.com, and much more
- Hired as contributors to national magazines by Better Homes & Gardens
- Signed for a two book deal with Artisan/Workman (our first book is due out in 2012!)
Your sidebar ad will earn you daily exposure to thousands of DIY and design enthusiasts. Young House Love attracts:
- Over 3.5 Million pageviews per month
- Around 140,000+ hits per day
- More than 43,000 incoming links to our site
- A worldwide readership (but our average reader is female, American, 23-39 yrs old and married).
Your sponsorship also means you’ll get a monthly in-post shout out like this one. It’ll include:
- A permanent text-link to your site along with an image for each month of your sponsorship and lives forever on our site (even after your sponsorship ends)
- The ability to reach 57,000+ RSS subscribers and 28,000+ Facebook fans (who also see our sponsor shout-outs beyond the thousands of daily readers who go directly to our blog’s url)
- A potential Google pagerank boost (an outgoing link to your site not only drives traffic, it can actually help your site’s ranking)
But don’t just take our word for it. How about some testimonials?
- “You have done an incredible job on your blog and we are thrilled to sponsor your site. We receive a great amount of traffic from it and really appreciate the monthly shout outs.” -Gordon, Z Gallerie
- “Your site is our TOP source for referrals after search engines! We love our sponsorship & you can be sure we will not be pulling out any time soon!” – Megan, The Tile Shop
- “I sold four prints on Friday! THANKS a ton. I think I’ve already made back the cost of my ad!” – Jessica, Vol. 25
So what are my options?
We offer two highly visible sidebar ad sizes that will appear on every single page of our site for the duration of the sponsorship (each of which comes with the aforementioned monthly sponsor shout out). JPEGs are preferred, but animated GIFs are also welcome.
You can choose between monthly and quarterly ad packages (with a discount built into 3-month commitments). Please email advertise@younghouselove.com for ad rates.
- The Townhouse (120×240) – We offer 19 openings per month
- The Mansion (336×280) – Only 5 openings per month
- NOTE: We do not offer text link advertisements
Both sizes are designed to work seamlessly within our sidebar (which also features content, so more eyes end up over there). This helps keep them consistently noticeable and highly clickable for the duration of your sponsorship.
But wait, there’s more…
It’s completely optional, but if you’d like to offer a special discount to our readers (ex: 15% off any purchase by entering “YOUNGHOUSE” at checkout) this often drives up interest and sales of your product/service even more. We’ll happily spread the word in our monthly shout-out posts but we’ll also post it for all to see on our sidebar during your entire sponsorship. You can check out some of the sponsors currently taking advantage of this bonus link back to their site under the “Discount-O-Rama” column on our sidebar. And of course our readers love it too. It’s win, win I tell ya.
Just say the word.
Now’s the part where you shoot us an e-mail at advertise@younghouselove.com to get in on the fun. We’re excited to team up!
