Beyond the banners
The site reaches people in more places than the web page. These are priced on request; tell us what you want to achieve and we'll put a package together.
- The morning email
- "Today in the BVI" lands in subscribers' inboxes every morning with the day's top stories. Your banner, or a "brought to you by" line, travels with it.
- Phone alerts
- Breaking stories go straight to readers' phones. Sponsor a week of alerts and your name rides on every one.
- Sponsored polls
- Our poll sits at the top of the homepage and readers vote in numbers. Put your question to the islands, or sponsor the week's poll with your picture on it.
- Storm season
- When a storm is tracking, the alert bar runs on every page and traffic jumps. Be the name people see while they check the forecast.
- Facebook and share cards
- Every story and poll goes to our Facebook page with a branded picture card. Sponsored posts and a logo on the cards are available for campaigns.
- Section takeover
- Every banner on the BVI, USVI or regional pages for a launch, an event or a sale.
- Notices and classifieds
- Death announcements, events, vacancies and one-off notices as short text listings.
How it works
- Pick your spot. Choose a placement above, or tell us your budget and goal and we'll recommend one.
- Send the artwork, or let us make it. A JPG, PNG or GIF at the size shown, plus the website, Facebook page, phone or WhatsApp number readers should go to. No designer? Send your logo, offer and colours and we'll build the banner; free with bookings of three months or more.
- Pay and go live. We invoice the month in advance. Your ad is up within one working day of payment and runs for the dates agreed.
- See how it did. Impressions and clicks are counted. Ask for the numbers any time, and swap the artwork mid-campaign at no charge.
Artwork
| Formats | JPG, PNG or GIF. Animated GIFs welcome; two or three frames read best. |
|---|---|
| Size | The pixel size listed for the placement, or larger at the same proportions. Under 400 KB. |
| Link | Your website, Facebook page, WhatsApp or phone number. |
| Labelling | Every ad carries a small "Advertisement" label, as readers expect from a news site. |
Terms, in plain English
- Campaigns are paid in advance and start when payment is received.
- If a placement is unavailable for any reason, we move your ad to a comparable spot for the same period. Once a campaign has started there are no refunds for unused time.
- We show your ad to every reader of that page. We can't promise sales or a set number of clicks, but we can show you exactly what happened.
- We may decline, or ask you to change, artwork that is misleading, offensive, unlawful or at odds with our coverage. Political and alcohol advertising must be clearly identified as such.
- You confirm you hold the rights to the images, logos and claims in your ad, and you are responsible for its content.
- Advertising never influences what we report or how we report it.
