Heartland is all about strengthening rural communities by showing people where their links are and encouraging them to use them. We want to offer them a rich and diverse on-line community with easy access to the products and services they need all in one place. That’s where you come in.

The fact that rural communities are dispersed makes it hard for businesses like yours to communicate with them. But with 80% of people having access to the internet, Heartland is the perfect way for you to get in touch with this target audience.

When you advertise on Heartland you will:

• directly target a dispersed rural market
• get great exposure every day
• distinguish yourself from other businesses at Heartland
• be a part of a thriving community
• enjoy the goodwill generated by investing in rural communities

We offer local, regional and national businesses like yours the opportunity to advertise at a local and national level using banner type advertising.

Banner Advertising

Throughout the Heartland site there are a limited number of banner type advertising spaces. These are clickable graphical adverts that appear on the left and right of the main text blocks. When clicked, they can take viewers to a designated website or to your Heartland business directory webpage.

Banner adverts have set dimensions:

• Single banner: 150x100 pixels
• Double banner: 150x200 pixels

There are two levels of exposure.

Local Community Advertising - this option is for a business that wants to use its advertising to target a very localised audience. Your banner advert is visible on every page of your designated community (or communities). You can list in as many communities as you want from $20 per community per month.

Global Advertising - your banner advert is visible in every community on Heartland. Email us for advertising options and prices.
