Thank you for your interest in collaborating with Progressive Pioneer. I anticipate rapid growth in 2012 as I network with other bloggers, expand my reach through traditional and online media as well as freelance writing for some well-known companies and websites. I deeply appreciate the support of my sponsors and enjoy helping good companies grow. Progressive Pioneer receives over 46,000 page views each month. Visitors are predominantly women, most are mothers, interested in natural family living and ranging from 18-45. You can reach these readers by advertising in my sidebar.
Rates and Opportunities
-
Sponsor button spaces (Thirty available. These reload in between posts in the main body of the blog, appearing in a new spot with each page refresh to prevent "ad blindness" and encourage engagement.)
- Product reviews (Two opportunities a year to have a product reviewed for current sponsors. Review will be its own post, remain in the archives, and also be promoted on Facebook.) Product reviews are free for current sponsors, $75 for non-sponsors (Availability varies.)
- Monthly facebook mention (I'll post whatever you like: product mention, sale promotion, new product, link to company FB page. etc.) Facebook mentions are free for current sponsors.
- Guest post opportunity (Twice a year for current sponsors. Post is not directly related to your company, but includes a link to your company at the end of the post. Guest posts are free for current sponsors.
- Sponsored posts (I write one of my normal posts, but on a topic that has to do with your company. At the top of the post I write a blurb along the lines of "This post is sponsored by FABULOUS COMPANY X, the best place to get all your FANCY STUFF, run by the sweetest and best looking family on earth. Don't miss their sale on AWESOMENESS the entire month of Marchtember." Or something like that. Then I insert as many links back to your company as possible (in a natural manner) within the body of the post.) Sponsored posts are $65 for non-sponsors and $35 for current sponsors.
- Trades (I don't do these as often because it becomes too complicated, however, everyone once in awhile I am open to a good trade and it never hurts to ask. The formula is roughly 1.5x the dollar value of sponsorship (or whatever you're wanting to trade for) in goods from your company. i.e. $52.50 worth of widgets for a $35 sponsorship spot.)
Want an Even Better Deal?
To make life easier, I've been selling ads in blocks of six months for $210. Until November 30th you have the chance to get the month of December FREE, and be included in the 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. This offer is good for all sponsors who sign up for a six month block.
Also as traffic increases, rates increase. Buying multiple months means that you lock in at the current monthly rates regardless of when we bump the rates up as we hit our traffic benchmarks. Six months is the maximum amount you can purchase at once.
Now What?
If you would like to become a sponsor please email me at progressivepioneer@gmail.com. Include the 125x125 graphic you would like displayed. Currently I'm not accepting animated or flashing ads. I will bill you via Paypal. Your button will go up the 1st of the following month.
Thank you for your support, I look forward to developing a wonderful relationship with you and your company!
Warmly,
Amy
The fine print: I reserve the right to refuse sponsorship for any reason and to change prices, display lengths, minimum purchases and other policies at any time. I will increase or decrease ad prices based on estimated page views and demand, re-evaluated per 500 additional daily page views. After a sponsor has paid for a spot I will not change the price or length of display. Payment for sponsorship is not refundable after the display session has begun. If you have any questions please email me.
