How It Works

  1. Tell me about your business or brand. What you do, and what you’d like more people to know.
  2. Pick placements and dates. I’ll send a quote, and design your ad if you need one and film social media content.
  3. Go live. Your placements run on your scheduled dates, and your report arrives each month or following each campaign.
Erin, the local behind Travel Like a Local

Advertising is how I subsidize travel, meals and product reviews around the state. Like you, I’m a small business too! Let’s collaborate and create more exposure for your Vermont (or beyond) brand.

Questions advertisers ask

How is advertising or a partnership sold?

By either a one-off collaboration or by a bulk-based time ad buy. You book a placement for set dates, from a few weeks to a whole season, and you can buy several placements at once.

What does it cost?

It depends on the type of promotion, placementm and the dates. Leave your name and business information on our media kit to see current rates, and I’ll send a quote for the collaboration you have in mind.

Can you design my ad?

Yes. Send your logo, a few photos and what you want people to know, and I’ll make the creative. I also will shoot the reel and/or take photos for a post!

How are paid placements labeled?

Openly. Partner places carry a Partner badge, sponsored guides name their sponsor at the top, and links to your website are marked as sponsored, as search engines ask.
