FREE BASIC PORTAL LISTINGS


Each Texas Hill Country business, non-profit organization and government organization may have
one FREE, "Basic" Listing, which includes your business name, one phone number, business street address, and web site address, that will be shown on one Portal city directory page. Home-based and non-storefront businesses are also welcome to take advantage of this free listing service.

Festivals and major events can also be submitted for free inclusion on our calendars.

pointerTo submit your listing request, send us your information using the following
convenient on-line forms.
(Use the same format as you see in the other listings.)

LISTING ENHANCEMENTS


An inexpensive but powerful advertising option is to use: "Expanded text plus color & images".

Examples: images (ex: Your unique comments on mouse over), size, colors, additional descriptive words, FONTS, Effects, bolding, links, etc.

Advanced features for listing enhancements are charged as follows.

Each "Enhancement" costs $1 per month: each enhancement item placed in bold or color; each tag line; each additional phone number; each additional address; each additional line of text (approximately 100 characters including spaces and marks); each email address; each web link; each map link. Examples:

Discounts: Baker's Dozen Enhancements Package = $10/mo per package of 12 of the $1 enhancements.

Each Digital Image costs $5 per month: Each digital image; and Each image clickable to a larger size is another image. Note: digital images (logo/photo/other) will be placed at approximately 1 square inch, and must be supplied in .jpg format & be less than 100kb after compression.

PLACEMENT OF LISTING IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES OR MULTIPLE PAGES: Each placement (of the identical listing) after the first placement is priced at 50% off the first listing. If different wording or features are desired in subsequent placement categories, these listings are priced at 50% of what the new listing charge would have been in that category.

DISPLAY ADVERTISEMENTS


Cofran Another very effective option is to place traditional Graphic Display Ads (see examples throughout the Portal, from plain to very sophisticated). This method can include images and a hot link to your web site.

Pricing for display ads is priced on a per column inch basis (as displayed on a 1366 x 768 pixel screen, measured vertically in that column) in the "Sponsored Ads" section in the left and right vertical panels and bottom of the center panel. See the many live ads on our home page.

MULTIPLE DISPLAY AD DISCOUNTS: After the first ad (the most expensive ad), subsequent ads on the same or other pages are discounted at 20% off their scheduled rate. This applies to the same or different ads.

This Portal service provides 24/7/365 worldwide display of your advertisement! We can customize the size, shape, appearance and placement location for your ad. It can include text digital images and hot links to your email or web addresses.

PER COLUMN INCH PRICING FOR GRAPHIC DISPLAY ADS



Portal Home Page: Left Panel: $20/mo; Wide Center Panel: $40/mo; Right Panel: $30/mo

Subject/Focus Page: Left Panel: $15/mo; Wide Center Panel: $30/mo; Right Panel: $20/mo

City/County Page: Left Panel: $10/mo; Wide Center Panel: $20/mo; Right Panel: $15/mo



CONTAINER AD METHOD: An open placement ad commitment holder, where you send us replacement images or other new content for us to post at any time during the contract period. This "Container" approach allows both of us to have the administrative logistics, pricing and payment taken care of in advance, and then you simply supply us with the replacement ad contents as the event circumstances develop over time. Change the content as often as you like, at no additional charge. This is a very convenient and timely method for managing the powerful on-line Portal marketing resource. We quote these on a custom basis.

FLYER/POSTER CLICK AD: A flexible method where your digital flyer/poster/coupon will appear on our site when the link is clicked, and will take the viewer to a web host location of your own. We price these based on a number of factors, including where the flyer is hosted, how large it is, number of pages, and the specifics of the ad link text and graphics and what page(s) it is posted on. These "flyers" are linked, printable micro-pages, and can be a graphic image, PDF image, Word document, or html web code. We quote these on a custom basis.
