FEATURES & COLUMNS

Sponsored columns and features are a specialized type of recurring sponsored content that we offer for certain clients. It’s particularly effective for real estate agents and teams.

Display advertising

Also called banner ads, these rectangular ad units have been a staple of online advertising for decades for a reason. Our ads have a proven track record of efficacy and reach a large audience at a relatively low fixed monthly rate.

Skyscraper

Big and bold, at an industry standard 300x600px. Appears on the sidebar on a desktop computer and in the content steam on mobile. Also appears in the email newsletter of most sites.

billboard

Plenty of room for your message at a cinematic 600x300px. Appears in the content stream on a desktop computer and at the top of all mobile pages.

EMAIL CAMPAIGNS

When you want to make a big splash in a short amount of time, email blasts and sponsorships are ideal. We limit the number of blasts and sponsorships in order to ensure that they remain highly effective. Suitable for both branding and direct response campaigns.

EMAIL BLAST

Advertisers can’t get enough of our email blasts, which we limit to no more than 1-2 per week, depending on the site. The reason is simple: email blasts reach a premium audience and really drive sales.

EMAIL SPONSORSHIP

Give your promotion a big boost with a one-week sponsorship of our email newsletter. Get an exclusive sponsor banner at the top of five weekday editions of the newsletter and pin your Skyscraper ad (if applicable) to the top of the email sidebar.
