Could you find email addresses for the schools and send it directly? Although I would think they have already been planned for this year. Or preschools?

to me your best fit is either lessons or ag but i can see not many of the right people finding your add, maybe message Adam direct and see what he thinks would be the best, an entertainment section would be the best i would think, Im not sure of the cost for businesses but i would highly recommend paying for your add to go up on the top bar to get maximum exposure to people browsing

another idea would be the old fashioned flyer way, or see how much a radio add costs on CQ or something

good luck

Have you created a Facebook page to promote your business? I know not everybody has Facebook but a lot of people do, you are able to create a business page for free with the option of paying to have Facebook aide with promotion of the page.
With the Facebook page your customers are able to leave reviews and share. Word gets around fast that way!
You see many threads on ebrandon where someone refers to a Facebook page.

Just an idea Good Luck!

Ad
5/26/2016 at 10:02 AM

Thanks for your interest in advertising, businesses are an important part of making the site tick. At the same time the majority of the standard classified ads are setup with the purpose of private personal ads in mind. Generally if you're a business your best bet if looking for prime exposure is to inquire about banner advertising possibilities (there may be an opening in the next couple months in the Baby and Child Items classified category). For businesses the regular classified ads are great for advertising jobs and you'll definitely see some place an ad in the closest fit services category because of how cost effective it is... But as a business advertising what you sell you won't get the level of exposure that you'd get with a banner ad (notable exception being real estate agents and the Homes for Sale category, which is open to private and agent postings). Still if you do place an ad in the best fit classified category it gives you an opening to upgrade to a front page feature ad or main classified page feature ad for a week (subject to availability) which certainly gives more exposure.

If you have any more questions or would like to discuss banner ad availabilities don't hesitate to drop a note through the Contact & Support link at the bottom of the page and I'll be happy to chat!

Just wondering
5/26/2016 at 10:35 AM

Just wondering if there might be future consideration for a Manitoba culture, attractions, museums type of category in the classifieds for places such as the one mentioned. There are so many places in the Westman area that rely on summer and year round tourism around this area that newcomers may not be aware of.

Just a thought.

We're homeschoolers, and I was thinking the other day, "Wouldn't it be great if..." something exactly what you're suggesting! Even just planning field trips for ourselves, it would be great to have a central list of what's in the area.

I agree, AbbysMum. It's nice to promote Manitoba Tourism (summers mostly, but some wonderful winter sights as well).

Rock pits, petting farms, doll museum,, Bed and Breakfast places, city (Daly) and airforce museum, Shilo artillery, reptile museums, gardens, and so much more.

It would be nice to have a classified with ads for these types of places.

I'd classify these as Attractions.

Thanks for thinking along the same line.
