A unique opportunity for members to advertise on the CVHBBA Website in two ways.
First, after a successful login, you can submit a banner ad ($10 per year) by clicking on the link on the left side, "Banner Ad". This will take you to the "Online Banner Ad Application" page. Note that you should have your banner designed in advance as you will need to upload it by clicking on the "Choose File" button.
You will also need a Landing Page URL (your web address) so that when a visitor clicks on your banner, they will be directed to your website. Enter your company name in the "Alternate Text" textbox. Click on "Upload Banner" to complete the application.
You will then receive a message box stating:
"Your ad has been successfully processed. You will receive an email with a reference number for this ad and instructions on payment."
Your email from cvhbba@cvhbba.com will look like:
"Reference Number B_23_1234567890
Your application has been processed. Your Banner Advertisement will be activated once we receive your payment of $10.00.
Please make the cheque or money order payable to the CVHBBA.
Include your ad reference number, B_23_1234567890, with your cheque. Do not lose this number, as we have no other way of identifying your ad.
Send the cheque to:
CVHBBA c/o (address)
or give the cheque to the Website Director at a Comox Valley Home Based Business Association regular meeting. Thank you"
The second way to advertise is to submit a sidebar ad ($25 per year) by clicking on the link on the left side, "Sidebar Ad". This will take you to the "Online Sidebar Ad Application" page. This type of ad requires no uploading, just text. Please pay attention to the number of characters you use.
The Title is intended to grab the viewer's attention and might be a tagline, a claim, or something similar. The Text Body is made up of three lines and describes some aspect of the business but isn't limited to that. The Site URL and Landing Page URL are usually your website address. Only the Title and Landing Page URL are linkable. When you have finished, click on "Submit Ad". Refresh or reload your page to be redirected back to your Member Information Form page.
You will receive an email from cvhbba@cvhbba.com which will look like:
"Reference Number ZjFiZjZjMzkxYmFm
Your application has been processed. Your Sidebar Advertisement will be activated once we receive your payment of $25.00.
Please make the cheque or money order payable to the CVHBBA.
Include your ad reference number, ZjFiZjZjMzkxYmFm, with your cheque. Do not lose this number, as we have no other way of identifying your ad."
Send the cheque to:
CVHBBA c/o (address)
or give the cheque to the Website Director at a Comox Valley Home Based Business Association regular meeting.
Thank you"
