Paperie Boutique • products, packaging and marketing ideas for professional photographers

Jun201008

I’m excited to announce the launch of something new at Paperie Boutique just in time for summer – the fADtastic merchant ad program. Not only will you have the opportunity to advertise with Paperie Boutique starting today and running the next three months (through September 15th) for just $100.00, but you’ll also be able to increase your Google ranking / SEO by being linked on our readers’ websites in addition to being linked here! A bit about how it works…

If you’ll scroll to the bottom of the page, I have put together a demo set-up of current Paperie advertisers. New fADtastic program members will send 100×100 pixel (flat, non-rotating) images and I will create a uniform-looking square bordered ad for you just like the ones you see there. Your ad will appear at that section of the site (by the “Older Entries” and RSS links) – grouped together with the other fADtastic program member ads – for the duration of the program. There is no limit to the number of vendors who can participate. Your ad will also appear on a separate page – always linked at the top of Paperie (by both image and text) – where Paperie readers can go and get the HTML to copy, cut, and paste your ad’s HTML code so they can add it to their own blogs, websites or Facebook accounts.

In exchange for the Paperie readers adding your ad to their blogs, websites or Facebook walls for a minimum of 7-10 days, you are asked to provide a product or “prize” in return that is valued anywhere from $10 – $25. This could include a gift certificate code without a minimum purchase requirement, an action, a photo prop, a template, etc. You get the exposure to their website audiences and an SEO boost – they get to learn more about your business / service and a little freebie to reward their efforts. (Your ad will remain on Paperie Boutique from the date of purchase through September 15th. The 7-10 day time limit applies to ad display time on Paperie reader sites only. Paperie readers may only collect one prize per vendor during this promotion. Please do not register multiple times with the same vendor over the course of this promotion. Play nice!)

So if you’re a vendor and you’re saying, “Sounds great! What do I need to do?” Just three little things!

1. make your $100.00 ad payment:

2. send “Robyn at paperieboutique dot com” your 100×100 pixel flat,
non-rotating image

3. send “Robyn at paperieboutique dot com” an e-mail address for
   site visitors to contact you after they’ve added your ad to their site
   for you to verify and then send on their prize – and list the prize
   you’ll be giving away to Paperie readers who link your ad

As always, if you have any questions just let me know! Thanks and I can’t wait to see you “get with the program” – happy summer!

UPDATE:: We have our first vendor added to the site! Please

“create at brandsixty dot com” for your prize (5×5 gift certificate
