Permanent Web E-Zines
Frugal Fun offers four magazines, each targeted to a different audience:
* Global Arts Review–an international magazine of arts and culture
* Global Travel Review–an international magazine of travel and food
* Frugal and Fashionable Living–for those who want to live cheaply with style
* Peace and Politics–discussions of world issues and sustainable living
Our largest magazine is at Frugal Marketing:
* Down to Business–a practical, hands-on magazine for entrepreneurs and marketers
Because they are published on the Web, we have the freedom to keep individual articles up for a long time; if an article is still relevant, we keep it up on the site indefinitely. Thus, articles we put up a year or more ago continue to draw visitors–and reader comments. Opportunities exist to sponsor each magazine as a whole (with an ad on the home page)–and to target your audience even more closely by sponsoring individual articles.
For instance, a record label or CD store might wish to sponsor our Global Arts Review article on country singer Shania Twain, a cookbook publisher could benefit from an ad at our Italian cuisine article on Global Travel Review, or a printing company may find it useful to reach the audience for Paulette Ensign's article on selling booklets in Down to Business. On the other hand, other types of businesses may benefit from the greater exposure on the magazine home pages: an airline company or travel agent might want to be on the Global Travel Review homepage, a vendor of business calendar software on the homepage of Down To Business, a concert ticket agency on the front page of Global Arts Review.
Every month, a steady stream of visitors sign up to receive monthly e-mail tipsheets on Frugal Fun and Frugal Marketing. We have readers from Sweden, Singapore, Japan, England, and many other countries–though readers from the US and Canada predominate. These is an extremely educated, motivated audience, many of whom have bought our books.
The lists are 100% opt-in; every single person who receives this information has requested it. You can put your message in front of these audiences at a nominal cost. At our option, and at no extra cost to you, we may also archive the complete issue, with your ad, and index it on our Web site.
Sponsoring e-mail newsletters has proven to be highly cost-effective. People read these newsletters eagerly, and welcome a relevant, targeted sponsorship message. And since these messages are text-only, even those who surf the Web with graphics turned off will see your message.
There are many pages on the site that are not part of one of the magazines. They are available at the same terms: our standard price for a specific article, a slight premium for one of the central resource sub-homepages.
Because our high-quality, active websites with lots of good content are not expensive to set up or maintain–it should not be expensive to advertise on them. Here are our rates–all prices in US dollars, per month:
