August Ad Opportunities in August

The Ladies, including the newest lady of color, who has a blue polka dot dress and glassesYeah, that was a terrible pun title. Sorry. I could not resist.

This is your semi-regular announcement that we have ad opportunities in the coming month and welcome your promotions for books, sales, boxed sets, nail polish, stitching patterns, editorial services, or those pictures of your cats looking absolutely stunning.

In fact, we’ve just started taking reservations for 2021. Woo hoo! The site survives in part because of advertisements from and for this community, so thank you in advance for your support!

Why advertise with us?

Our traffic is much higher in the quarantimes. (Hi everybody!) And our advertising is pretty darn effective. Author Maree Andrews emailed me after placing an ad:

I have just had a reader email me to say that she found my book through your site and that she liked it.

Thanks so very, very much for giving me this opportunity to advertise for such a remarkably reasonable price on your excellent blog.

Thank you, Maree!

And author Maria Vale says,

Being a newbie romance writer, I stumbled around at first. If there was a platform that accepted advertising, I tried it. Some required a lot of work tailoring and supervising because those platforms serve glass replacement businesses as well as romance novelists. I even found those aimed at readers could be difficult to use and favored in-site responses when what I wanted were sales.

The Bitches on the other hand could not be easier to use. If I need something tailored—say I’m running a month-long promotion, but there’s an embargoed sale in the middle that I also want to promote—Sarah makes it happen. The costs are small “d” democratic, meaning there’s something for everyone, including the $50/month budget ads.

Both of these are meaningless without reach, but SBTB gets 430K+ page views per month and all of them are romance readers. I have found that ads that went nowhere on other sites got legitimately large click throughs (CTRs) on Smart Bitches.

Now that’s an HEA.

Thank you, Maria!

What’s available?

  • Premium and standard spaces for weeklong bookings
  • Some newsletter placements as well!
  • For-every-budget spots that start at $50.

Email me with your budget target and I can craft you a proposal. 

What are the most popular options?

One of the most popular options is the $50 space. If you’re looking for advertisement options and promotional opportunities on a budget, the $50 For Every Budget Space might be an ideal fit for you.

The For Every Budget Ads display on long pages, such as:

How do I reserve an ad? 

You can email me to enquire at sarahATsmartbitchestrashybooksDOTTcom, or you can use this handy form to submit your For Every Budget ad and payment.

Again, if you’ve got something you would like to promote, email me. I’m happy to work with your budget, and, as I said, you deal with me personally when you do business with the site.

And if you’re looking for information about advertisement in 2020, my books are now open!

As always, thanks for being here and for being part of Smart Bitches.

Cheers!

    I heart terrible puns! Were I an author I would feel compelled to immediately take advantage of your adspace…
