Advertise on The Lincolnshire Guide for FREE!

The Lincolnshire Guide is a premier guide for visitors to Lincolnshire as well as residents of the county. Ensure your business is seen by advertising here!  In the period April - September 2010, over 10,000 unique potential customers searched for accommodation, over 5,500 unique potential customers searched for places to visit and over 4,000 potential customers searched for locations to eat and drink in the county on The Lincolnshire Guide.  Imagine if they could all be looking at your advertisement!

Advertise my business online for free?!  Are you mad?!

Possibly.  But we are interested in promoting Lincolnshire and have decided to give all Lincolnshire's accommodation, attraction and food & drink providers the opportunity to advertise for free.  This gets you a free account that allows you to enter some details about your business and a place in our search engine.  If that isn't enough, what about a premium account.?

Oh yes, here it comes, you're thinking - the sting.  Not so!

Free accounts are free.  Full stop.  However, if you want to ensure that you are returned top of the listings and right in the gaze of the thousands of visitors to The Lincolnshire Guide you can purchase a premium account.  Our customers have told us that they are being approached by businesses selling online advertising for £130+vat for a year.  They found it ludicrous, and so do we.  So we offer you the chance to advertise online with one of our premium accounts for a mere £9.99 a year.

A Premium Listing for £9.99 a year?!  You are mad!

Again, possibly.  But - no - it's true.  That's all you'd pay.

We aim to keep our costs as low as possible so you can keep your costs as low as possible.  We don't believe in money grabbing from local businesses to line our pockets and we are based locally rather than some faceless company based down in London.  We want to cover the costs of running the site and the rest gets ploughed back into the website, not drive round in a Bentley.  Not that there is anything wrong with that, it just isn't our philosophy.

Why should I advertise online?

Advertising online is shown to increase your potential client base from a small, select group of people who read written guidebooks or magazines to a much wider proportion of the population of the UK and far beyond.  Advertising online is potentially much cheaper than any other form of advertising and has a wider reach.

Why advertise on The Lincolnshire Guide?

Advertising your accommodation, attraction or food and drink establishment on the internet can be a tricky business.  It can be very difficult to get internet websites noticed.  The Lincolnshire Guide aims to make advertising your business to a wide audience as easy as possible, as well as being affordable.  We receive thousands of search requests and results pages each day to visitors who may be wanting to find you.  And they can't find you if you aren't here!

The best way to advertise your business is to ensure that where you advertise is full of relevant content to your business.  At The Lincolnshire Guide, Lincolnshire is our business and if you are in Lincolnshire then this is the place for you!

What does the premium account buy me?

The premium account guarantees you the following:

• You will be seen!  You will always rank above the free listings on search results and be highlighted - visitors will see your listing first.
• You will appear on a rotating basis on the front page of the relevant section - increasing your exposure to our visitors.
• You can upload up to nine photographs on each listing - visitors are more likely to consider visiting your business if they know more about it.
• Premium account holders can claim up to 15% off a website re-design by BeachBlue.
• All new services will always be released to premium account holders before they are made available to free account users.

Do you offer any special offers for multiple premium accounts?

This is decided on a case-by-case basis.  Please contact us with your requirements and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Do you allow advertisements for community groups, registered charities, etc?

Yes, we are always keen to help do our bit to develop Lincolnshire.  Depending on the type of organisation we may be able to offer subsidised premium listing accounts.  Please contact us for more information.

What methods of payment do you accept?

Currently we accept payment by credit or debit card using Google Checkout or PayPal.  Alternatively, we can accept cheques and postal orders.  Accounts will not be made live until payment is received in full and has cleared.

I can get an account for free?  What is the catch?

Yes you can, and no - there isn't one.  If you are really nice you can link back to us, we'd really appreciate that.

We are not a tourism based business, but would be interested in banner advertisements on The Lincolnshire Guide...

...we would be happy to hear from you.  We do accept banner advertisements from relevant organisations.  Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Any questions or comments?

We are only too happy to hear from you.  Please feel free to contact us.
