Advertise Thank you so much for your interest in becoming part of the Tidewater and Tulle vendor family! There is a diverse range of advertising options at many different budget points that best serve you and your wedding-related business. While Tidewater and Tulle is a new media outlet, we stand by our dedication to bringing local talent to engaged couples via effective social media and aim to gain your trust and loyalty in the years ahead. Sidebar Ads Vendor Guide Sponsored Posts/Giveaways ADVERTISING PERKS: Custom High-Quality Ads Created Just for You and Your Business on T&T Intentional and Effective Social Media Marketing (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+) Targeted SEO Integration Genuine and Organically Designed Blog Posts (for Vendor Guide members) Exposure to Local and Out-of-Town Couples Planning Hampton Roads Weddings Fun T&T Badge for Your Website Exclusive Networking Events (to connect with other T&T vendors!) Special T&T Facebook Group (to collaborate with other T&T vendors!) ... and more! SIDEBAR ADS: Our sidebar ads are located on the right of every Tidewater and Tulle page under the "Sponsor Love" section. These spots are limited in number per 30-day rotations. There are 5 static ad and 8 rotating ad (these rotate through with each page refresh/visit) spots available. Professionally-designed ads can either be submitted or created by Tidewater and Tulle blog team members to ensure an aesthetically-appropriate fit for the blog. In the best interest of our vendor family and engaged couples, we try to not place competing businesses side-by-side in the sidebar pending availability and time of year. For example, there may be one photographer in a static ad and another photographer in a rotating ad, but never two photographers in the static ad section. We want to help you stand out in your respective styles! We also welcome targeted marketing plans for specific holidays (e.g., engagement season, Valentine's Day, etc). Because spots are limited each month, we recommend advanced planning to ensure your preferred ad choice. (Marketing Tidbit Example: For the Christmas season, you would want to start planning in August with a September to January ad run.) VENDOR GUIDE: The Tidewater and Tulle Vendor Guide is not just a vendor guide, but a social media and beyond marketing platform. Every applicant is carefully reviewed to ensure his/her professional wedding business is a perfect fit for Tidewater and Tulle readers. We strive very hard to help couples feel good about hiring Tidewater and Tulle vendors as well as provide a platform for you to connect with brides and grooms. We welcome all new and established businesses alike that meet our requirements of excellent customer service, local professional standing, and at least one social media presence (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest). We believe in cross-promotion for all of our vendors and aim to showcase the amazing talent that Hampton Roads has to offer local and destination couples. After an informational questionnaire is filled out, each approved vendor receives a meaty personal, SEO-driven blog post linked in the Vendor Guide. For each vendor category, there are only six (6) vendor spots at a time to prevent engaged couples from feeling overwhelmed at the amount of choices and better direct them to their most ideal vendors. SPONSORED POSTS/GIVEAWAYS: Carefully crafted and marketed to achieve the most effective response for your business, sponsored posts and giveaways add meat and substance to any advertiser's marketing vision. Additionally, these posts do live forever in Tidewater and Tulle's archives and always will be searchable by brides and grooms. Sponsored Posts and Giveaways are subject to editorial approval as to ensure the product/service is an ideal fit for our readers. [Note: Under FTC law, all sponsored posts will have a Disclosure Statement image-graphic indicating they have been sponsored.] [To download for your website/blog, right click and "Save As."
