Advertising in Bourne
Approaching 5,000 visitors every month!
Cheaper than magazine advertising!
Great exposure on our website and social media!
Why advertise with us?
According to Google, around 97% of consumers search for a local business online, so it should never be underestimated just how important it is to have a strong online presence. Although having a website is vital to get your business noticed online, getting your site ranked highly on search engines is a long and timely process, and many people are disappointed with the number of visitors they receive. Advertising your business on a website that is already ranked highly in search engines and specifically targets people in your geographical area is therefore the perfect way to improve your visibility online.
Advertising with BourneTown.co.uk represents cost effective advertising on an online platform that currently attracts over 5,000 visitors a month, mostly from the local area. We have worked hard to ensure BourneTown.co.uk has a very high visibility on search engines and across social media, including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Type in 'Bourne Lincs' or 'Bourne Lincolnshire' into Google and you'll notice that we are listed on the very first page of the search engines listings.
Unlike advertising in magazines and newspapers, your advertising banner will remain active for a whole year and can provide a direct path to your website/social media for people to find out more about you.
Our advertising costs just £99.00 for the whole year - that's less than £10.00 a month! This is cheaper than many alternative methods of advertising and offers much greater flexibility.
What we offer
For an annual fee of just £129.00, we will provide all the following - giving your business some great exposure!
- 1.) We will place a large graphical banner (either designed by us or supplied by you) on the three pages of your choice (subject to available space) - your banner will also be listed on the Google Images search (for related key phrases).
- 2.) We will add a link to your website or Facebook/Twitter page from your graphical banner (this will help drive more traffic to your website/Facebook page, along with helping to improve your general search engine ranking by providing a high quality back-link)
- 3.) We will also promote your business via our social media, including our Facebook Business Directory Group, Twitter and Instagram, where we have thousands of followers from around the local area.
- 4.) We will add your business details to our very own online Business/Tradesmen Directory - effectively, giving you your own business page, listing your contact details, location and another link to your website/Facebook page! This listing will remain active even if you choose not to renew your advertising after the annual period, so your business will be listed on the site until you cease trading. Furthermore, if people enter search phrases relating to your business on Google your business directory page will be listed on page one of the listings - this means you could have a good presence on Google without the need for a website, therefore saving you hundreds of pounds!
- 5.) Your business details (name and description) will be listed on the HOME PAGE in our Featured Business section (for a temporary period only), with a link to your business directory listing.
- 6.) You will be displayed as the very first result on our online Business/Tradesmen Directory whilst you remain a featured business.

What will my advert look like?
We will design a graphical banner for your business that is professional and appealing to ensure this portrays your business in the best possible way and is successful at attracting attention. We will ensure your advert contains all key information about your business and will work with you to ensure you are entirely happy with your advertising before it goes live.
If you already have an advertising banner that you would like us to use, we are more than happy to use this instead of creating a new one.
How will my business be advertised on social media?
Your advertising banner will be added to our various social media platforms, which include Instagram, Twitter and our Facebook Group (Bourne Events & Business Directory).
Our social media platforms are highly popular, and we have thousands of followers from all over the local area. We regularly post updates on our social media platforms to encourage engagement and sharing.
Your banner will remain on these platforms for the full annual period of your advertising, so you'll get some great exposure!
Who can advertise?
We are happy to advertise any type of business, whether you are a sole trader or large corporate entity. We generally like to advertise businesses that are in or around Bourne itself, but are not averse to advertising businesses elsewhere in the country too. We are also happy to advertise clubs and organisations.
Why do you charge for advertising?
It costs money to keep this website running. We must pay for hosting the website, along with domain registration and paying for certain services on the site. Advertising revenue helps to pay for all this and without this we wouldn't be able to afford to keep the site running. We have tried to keep the cost of advertising low and as a result we feel this represents excellent value for money, especially when you consider that magazines can charge hundreds of pounds for advertising space.
