The Antique Collector Advertising Deal
Advertising Order Form
Our research shows that Antique Collector visitors will be educated and curious about antiques. Many will be reasonably affluent and most will be collectors of antiques or unusual items. A large number will be following the trend to purchase their antiques, or do their research, online.
Your business can take advantage of these advertising options available on the Antique Collector site.
Our Top 10 Tips! To help you get the best from your advertising budget.
1. Target your ad. Choose a page that best fits your site content. This ensures your visitors are pre-qualified and already interested.
2. Ask questions; people love to have their problems solved.
3. Use your business colours to create identity. People remember what they SEE long after they forget what they hear.
4. Remember you can place your secondary ad in the newsletter and apply to be site of the week during special promotions (both available soon!). We'll do everything we can to help you succeed.
5. Ad page location is important too. Choose the page position that your customers will expect to find you.
6. Animation in your ads is a good attention getter if it's not overdone.
7. Choose cryptic or brand strengthening messages to attract visitors.
8. Call your viewers to action! Tell people what you want them to do. A simple "click here" works wonders!
9. Regular new visitors to your banner avoids it becoming stale.
10. Think carefully about what you will do with your new visitor. Is your site 'visitor friendly', or is something causing them to leave early?
Stuck for a banner? Never seem to get it looking just right??
I make all sorts of buttons and banners, especially for this page and other sites. In fact, I make most of my own buttons. Sometimes I struggle and work on one for hours, other times a few clicks and it's done. The point being, if you like them, I'm happy to help you create a banner, button or logo for your site, which you can then place on Antique Collector, if you wish. Obviously my time is valuable, as is yours, so I will need to charge a fee, but the banner or button is yours to keep. If that sounds fair enough please
and I'll have a go for you.

Promoting your website is the most important thing you can do for
your business.

Points to remember when advertising on Antique Collector.
A little creativity will get your ad noticed, but what will get your customers
attention even more is to offer them help and advice or a special bonus on something they
really need or want. This little trick is pretty simple, but it's amazing how many
business owners don't know about it!
For example, if you sell a piece by Hannah Barlow, Clarice Cliff or Susie Cooper, it would by nice to know a little about the artist, such as when and where they worked. Small bonuses like these ensure customers remember YOU and return to YOU first.
Since the tech boom and gloom of the late nineties, the newspapers, Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange would have us believe the Internet is bad for business. What they often
neglect to tell
us is -- the number of people using the Internet has TRIPLED in as many years and ordinary
people just love it. Not only that, but ever increasing numbers are now perfectly
comfortable ordering online. If you're geared up to benefit from this, an ad like those above can cost from as little as: £6.00 a month, or, £60 a year.
Ad campaigns are a partnership between the Website owners, Advertisers and Visitors. Our
visitors aren't just passing through, they come here because they WANT something! Don't
expect sales to fall in your lap. You'll have to work hard for each sale you get, by
gaining trust, offering something of value and making good on that promise. But, gain that trust and your customer will stay with you forever........ There is
one business truth that is worth remembering........ Each new customer you find will cost 6 - 7
times more to acquire than repeat sales to an existing happy customer. Your customers are the result of an investment of your time and money. You look after
your customers and let us look after YOU!
When you want to be different - No problem!.
There are two sizes of banner that we accept at the moment, because they fit the structure and space allocation of each page. However, if you have different sizes you want to use, please
, and I'll send you details of other sizes we can use and quotes to match the pixel rate of those above.
Using your expertise to get you noticed.
When your advert is placed on Antique Collector, you also have the option to give everyone the benefit of your expertise, and we encourage, additional input by all our advertisers.
Many specialist sites are operated by very knowledgeable individuals who have so much to share with our visitors, that you are all invited to supply articles about your chosen fields which will accompany your banner advert. You will, of course, receive full credit plus another free link back to your site.
This in itself is worth the time it takes to write the article. For example, you may have a top site about antique clocks. Articles might cover, English, American & French clocks, mantle, wall or longcase clocks, setting up a new purchase, keeping good time, routine maintenance, cleaning, and adding to a collection.
Building Antique Collector into a reference library of articles associated with antiques, will make us, and therefore you, a valuable source of expert information. Something we perhaps can't do so well as individuals.
Eventually, as the article base grows, I want to extract small article tasters and place this information into an opt-in newsletter that encourages revisits to read the full articles, answers readers questions, news, dates, etc. Further opportunities will then exist to promote individual businesses, sites or articles for sale.
Splitting up the site into categories.
Antique Collector is divided into 28 real antique categories, the very same antiques that people are searching for online, things like; art nouveau, art deco, books, ceramics, furniture, glass, pottery, porcelain, jewellery, silver, paintings, clocks, Royal Doulton, Beswick, Wade, Coalport, Moorcroft, gold, bronze, Clarice Cliff, Wedgwood, telephones, toys, sporting, optical, postcards, music, money, garden and lighting. Phew! Some list!
Write ups to accompany your banner adverts.
You'll notice how every button, banner and text link has a description next to it which as accurately as possible tries to give one or two really good reasons why a visitor might want to click over to your site...........
You are, of course, at liberty to write your own accompanying text.
All this is included with your advert at no additional charge and is part of the service. It's goal is to add information to the picture advert, either about your site, service or products, to enhance a customer's enjoyment, or to suggest how you may provide the solution to a customer's problem. After all, that's what sales amount too, isn't it? The solution to problems!
These options are available to you at rates we believe to be among the best value on the Net. Remember you have a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, no questions asked. You retain the right to cancel at any time, without a reason, and we guarantee you a FULL time remaining refund at any time after 30 Days.
