Advertorial Placements Introduce Your Company to Our Readers! • Promote Special Products!

Stand Out From Other Companies!

Advertorials are used as a valuable marketing technique for visibility and conversion. Yes, an advertorial is an advertisement. But advertorials can be an excellent marketing choice for you and your company.

A one to two page advertorial should provide the same high-quality content as an editorial, but it gives you the spotlight to shine on your product!

Benefits of Advertorial Marketing Advertorials Build Brand Awareness: An advertorial, unlike other advertising, is paid for less often, but has the potential to be found by readers long after the publish date.

Retarget Your Existing Customers: You can repost your advertorial on social media and/or through e-blasts.

Better yet, encourage your customers to share the advertorial on their social media, tag your company and gain new customers!

Advertorials Qualify for Frequency Print & Digital Ad Discounts!

Contact us Today space is limited and on a first-come-first-serve-basis. Call: 877-892-5332

Interactive Buyer & Seller Network (IBSN®) The Grapevine Magazine is the first in the Industry to introduce the Interactive Buyer and Seller Network (IBSN®). Unlike other publications that offer regular “buyer’s guides” that contain very basic information regarding your company and what you have to offer.

The Grapevine Magazine’s IBSN® takes that basic concept but then expands it to a fully informative and interactive resource for the user.

How the IBSN® Works • List your company’s address and contact information, including telephone numbers, E-Mail & Website.

• User can connect directly to your Website and Email from the same screen.

• A “Search” feature will enable the user to search by a company name or category. Instead of receiving a large printed edition each year, the IBSN® is a “GREEN” product because customers only print what they need!

• The IBSN® is accessible through The Grapevine Magazine’s Website’s Homepage at... http://www.BrickerPublishing.com

The IBSN® qualifies for both Print & On-Line ad frequency discounts.
