What to send with your inquiry

- The service, offer, or event you want to promote
- Your audience and the communities you serve
- Preferred start date, campaign length, and budget range
- Any guide or placement you are interested in
Your artwork & message
If you have a banner or logo, include it with the destination link and the wording you want to use. A wide 3:1 banner, such as 1800 × 600 pixels, suits the guide placements shown here.
Keep the business name, offer, and call to action readable on a phone. PNG, JPG, or WebP artwork works well. If you do not have artwork, ask about a text placement or discuss creative help.

Advertising questions
How much does it cost?
We quote campaigns based on the placement, format, duration, and available space. Send your preferred dates and budget range through the contact page to request current options.
Can I choose a page or guide?
You can request a relevant guide or category. The final placement depends on availability and how well your business or offer fits the page. We confirm the details with you before launch.
Can I use my own banner?
Yes. Send artwork you have permission to publish, along with the link readers should visit. For a wide guide banner, a 3:1 image with clear, readable text is a useful starting point.
What if I do not have an image?
Ask about a sponsored text placement or discuss help preparing a simple banner. Any creative work and its cost should be agreed before the campaign is confirmed.
Can I promote an event or a seasonal offer?
Yes, you can inquire about a campaign around an event, holiday, or seasonal service. Include dates, location, the offer details, and a ticket, booking, or business link.
Can I submit a community event without buying an ad?
You can submit an event for consideration through the contact page. Include the date, time, location, admission details, and official event link. Advertising is separate from editorial event submissions.
Does an advertisement guarantee sales or editorial coverage?
No. A paid placement does not guarantee clicks, inquiries, sales, search rankings, or favorable editorial coverage. Advertising and sponsorship are identified separately from editorial content.
All placements are subject to approval and availability. Read our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure for more about sponsored content on The Wilkesboros.
