Advertise

At ZonieReport.com, we strive to offer readers better statewide news coverage for no cost. This is made possible by helping advertisers get valuable placement on those pages – especially locally owned, Arizona businesses.

We believe our advertising strategy benefits both groups, but we’re an open-minded bunch. If you have a suggestion, drop us a line here. (link to form page)

Otherwise, from one local business to another, thank you for considering advertising with The Zonie Report.

OUR CONTENT
ZonieReport.com launched in May 2006 as a weekly source of statewide, multimedia news for all Arizonans. These original stories cover news by topic and involve various combinations of long-form writing, podcasts, videos and photo slideshows.

Our goal is to provide quality content that captures and holds the attention of educated, affluent and passionate Arizonans longer than the average news website. A single story has the potential to keep readers engaged for longer periods than some traditional newspaper websites – at a fraction of the advertising cost to you.

OUR AUDIENCE
The majority of our traffic comes from residents across Arizona. The top 15 cities where readers live are (in descending order)*:

Readers in our top three markets are some of the most educated, affluent and discerning Arizonans in the state*:

OUR AD POLICY

Banner/text advertising must be purchased for a minimum of one month and a maximum of six months. All ads must be paid for in advance using checks, major credit cards, or secure online payments through PayPal. [PayPal is quick and simple to use but requires merchants to set up an account and become registered users. You can do so here.]

Banner ads must be tasteful in nature. The Zonie Report reserves the right not to host any ads that use profanity or suggestive images. [Besides, if you have to result to nudity or insults to sell your product, it’s probably not worth buying anyway. So let’s keep it clean, folks.]

Statistical reports are available that track an ad’s performance are available twice a month upon request.

OUR RATES
The Zonie Report supports a wide range of ad shapes and sizes to help you promote your local business.

If you need a banner ad created, we can do that in-house for $100. And best of all, YOU KEEP THE AD for future use on the Web. Like we said, we care about your Arizona business and want to help you succeed.

These rates are valid as of July 1, 2008. All prices are on a monthly basis and ranked in the order of prominence to Website viewers. [Scroll down the page to see a map of where and how these ads appear on our pages.]

RADIO ADS
Some folks in our Web audience also have an affinity for radio. Why not lure them in with a blurb in our podcasts?

Podcasts are audio files (.mp3) that discuss the leading stories on ZonieReport.com. They are conversations hosted by TZR editor Adam Klawonn on a variety of topics.

For $70 a month, get a blurb about your business on the Web by sponsoring our podcasts. Submit your company’s tagline or 10-second soundbyte to us, and we’ll read it “on the air” before the show begins. It’s that simple.

VIDEO ADS
If banner ads and radio ads aren’t your shtick, try hosting an Editor’s Blog at your local business for a one-time fee of $250.

Here’s how it works: TZR editor Adam Klawonn will come to your location and discuss the top stories and latest happenings inside The Zonie Report on camera. This video is then edited and uploaded to the “Featured Video” position on ZonieReport.com’s homepage for all to see for one month. It’s the best advertising value we offer.

About 40 percent of our Web traffic comes from direct hits to the homepage, so this is an ideal way to reach the video-lovers in the audience. The video will also be uploaded to YouTube using keywords that help YouTube searchers find your business. Plus, this video is linkable so that you can embed it on your company’s own website!

COUPONS
These are a great way to attract more locals who are passionate about supporting local business. Why not add a coupon for your business to our coupons page?
