Advertisers who want to stand out on the Cape Fear Wedding website have a
number of supplemental banner and tile ad options to choose from. These special web ad positions are available only as part
of a normal print and online advertising contract.
Cape Fear Wedding does not offer web-only advertising contracts. But if you are looking
for an affordable, web-heavy campaign, please CLICK HERE to learn why our
combined print-and-digital program may make sense for you.
Preferred vendor. This is a great option for advertisers in highly competitive
categories, such as catering, reception sites and photography. As a preferred vendor, you'll have a colorful banner ad displayed
on the first screen of your business category's index in our "Find a Vendor" section. This means prospective customers will see you
and can click through to all your contact information without having to scroll through a long alphabetical listing.
We offer only eight Preferred Advertiser positions per category, so you are guaranteed that your ad will always
appear in the first screen. In addition to placement on the business category index, your banner ad will also rotate throughout the site,
appearing randomly at the top of nearly all pages on CapeFearWedding.com.
Focused tile ads. Want to be seen by every bride who visits a particular high-traffic
page? We have a limited number of "tile" positions in the upper right corners of popular pages, including the home page, vendor index,
reception site directories, etc. For examples, click on the "Go" buttons in the following chart.

Why buy print? We have a number of clients who want to focus their
marketing efforts online and/or on so-called "permission" marketing. For them, we recommend our minimum, entry-level
contract: A quarter-page ad in the Cape Fear Wedding guidebook establishes your bona fides in the brides'
"bible" for Southeastern North Carolina. But it also gets you two essential digital products: Your ad on this website,
indexed under all relevant business categories, with links to your website and email addresses; plus password controlled
access to our exclusive online database of sales prospects. If you want a chance to interact directly with engaged
couples who have asked for information about your services, we supply you with hundreds of qualified leads, at your convenience.
The smallest print ad gets you exactly the same web exposure, and the same database of sales
prospects, as our most expensive package. And any ad can be supplemented with the online extras detailed on this page.
