2009 Advertising Rates

Hello! The automatism blog is where I share what I find inspiring, interesting or simply beautiful in decor, the visual arts, design, literature and more. Automatism readers are interesting and creative people, with a true appreciation for great design. If this sounds like the kind of audience and exposure you'd love to connect with, read on!

Getting an ad on automatism is simple. The rate is $25.00 (Canadian) per month for a 160 pixel wide x 60 pixel high ad, like the one here:



I accept payment through PayPal. Once you've paid (and supplied your ad), up you go! For first time sponsors who book an ad mid-month, you are eligible to have the rest of that month free, with your paying ad beginning on the following month (i.e. if you book an ad on January 15, you'll have the rest of January for no charge, as your paid month will begin on February 1). New sponsors will have a launch at the beginning of the (paid) month, introducing you to automatism readers. And for each month you renew your ad, you'll have the opportunity to participate in a Sponsor Spotlight around the middle of the month, which highlights a new item or event that you'd like to feature (i.e. a new line of cards in your shop, or if you're in an art show). If you're interested, email me and we'll get started!

If you'd like to book your ad for more than a month at a time, I offer the following ad runs at a discount:

3 months: 5% discount ($75.00 less $3.75 — your total cost is now $71.25)
6 months: 10% discount ($150.00 less $15.00 — your total cost is now $135.00)
1 year: 15% discount ($300 less $45.00 — your total cost is now $255.00)

For those who have inquired about this before, I am now accepting carefully selected text-only (text links) ads if they are of particular interest to automatism readers. Text-only ads appear below all other ad banners. Their size is a maximum of 30 characters per headline and a maximum of 50 characters per description, with a rate of $15.00 (Canadian) per month. Please note that text-only ads are not eligible for ad launch or Sponsor Spotlight posts.

Thanks so much for considering advertising on automatism — have a lovely day!
