How Market Place Advertising Works
Your advertising on our site is much more than a traditional ad. It’s your opportunity to talk to interested readers about your woman owned business. An Ad Package includes a Search Results Listing and a Profile Page (<-see sample here).
The search results in an online directory of women business owners listing includes a graphic element (business logo, illustration or photo), a summary of woman owned your business and a link to your Profile Page. The "Profile Page" is a single personalized webpage for your business only! You can customize this page with a larger logo, photos and copy about your company, products, services – whatever you want to promote!
When a website user visits the Market Place, our online marketplace directory of women business owners, she selects from a number of available 'industry standard' categories such as: Accounting, Interior Decorating, Engineer, Accountant, Lawyer, Plumber or Travel Expert for example. In each category, she’s presented with Search Results Pages containing 14 listings per page. If she clicks on your listing, she’s presented with your Profile Page. From your online marketplace Profile Page, she can click-through to your website to learn more or take action by contacting you via the contact details which you will provide.
