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 one of the top 3 home blogs in 2008 and 2009 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, RealSimple.com and much more
- Hired as contributors to national magazines by Better Homes & Gardens
Your sidebar ad will earn you daily exposure to thousands of DIY and design enthusiasts. Young House Love attracts:
- Over 2 Million pageviews every month
- Around 80,000+ 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)
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 that lives forever on our site (even after your sponsorship ends)
- The ability to reach over 21,000+ RSS subscribers and 10,000+ 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
-
“I’ve already received $200 worth of YHL orders since you put my ad up this morning! You guys ROCK.” -Stacy, Name Your Design
- “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):
- The Townhouse (120×240) – $280/month or $750/quarter
- The Mansion (336×280) – $575/month or $1550/quarter (only 5 openings per month)*
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.
*If all four of our Masion-sized ads are currently taken, we’re happy to put you on a waiting list and set you up with a Townhouse in the meantime.
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 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.
We’re looking forward to teaming up. 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 join forces with you!
