Sponsored posts and link insertions for 2024

We offer businesses an opportunity to publish ‘sponsored posts’ and external “do follow” hyperlinks to help promote their brands within engaging editorial content.

This service is proving popular since we launched it in 2019, as businesses seek to take advantage of our massive and growing 190,000+ monthly audience across Cheshire.

Sponsored content will usually be posted in our “Features & Lifestyle” section and promoted via our normal social media channels, too.

Content needs to adhere to our site’s ethos, and editors will request a draft of any content prior to publication.

It will be judged on suitability for our audience, level of interest, sensitivity, taste and decency, among other elements.

Content which overtly or primarily focus on topics such as gambling/casinos, drugs/CBD, and dating/sex will in most case be declined.

Links to such sites may be accepted if embedded naturally and subtly into articles which offer a wider interest to our audience.

Editors reserve the right to refuse publication, which will incur no cost to the sponsor/customer.

If content is accepted, the following prices are applicable for any published sponsored content:

• £40         editorial up to a maximum of 400 words, including maximum of 2 links
• £55         editorial between 400-700 words, including maximum of 3 links
• £70         editorial more than 700 words, including maximum of 5 links

All prices above are inclusive of VAT, and are non negotiable.

Links are “do follow”, content will remain live on the site, and content will be marked as “feature” and not marked as “sponsored”.

You may also wish to insert a “do follow” link to our existing editorial content to push traffic to your or your client’s digital platform.

If the linked to site is acceptable to us, we charge the following:

• £30           one “do follow” link
• £40           two “do follow” links

Payment should be made within 48 hours of publication evidence being issued to you.

This can be done via Paypal, Stripe or BACs. Invoices can be provided on request.

Please get in touch on [email protected] and we will try to help you reach our huge audience.
