Sponsorship Benefits
Benefit

Sponsorship Generates Location and Information Targeted Traffic

  • Location Sponsorship
  • We use sophisticated mapping software that instantly recognizes the location being browsed on our maps. When a customer browses Collinsville, for example, directly adjacent to the map we are able to instantly display ads for businesses in Collinsville.


    Example: A customer searches our map for an auto mechanic in Collinsville. Our map recognizes the Location of the search. You own a restaurant in Collinsville and have signed up as a Sponsor of Metro-East.com. When the customer does his search we show him the ad for your restaurant. Maybe he stops by for lunch after getting his car fixed!


    As you can see, one of the great things about Metro-East.com is that we target customers who want your product but need to be reminded about your business location.


  • Information Sponsorship
  • We can show your ads to customers who are seeking Information. This type of customer is valuable because they take action.


    There are two types of Information seekers at Metro-East.com.

    1. Non-business Information seekers browse our Blogs, Forums, and Weather. Due to the nature of this customer the sponsorship of the aforementioned pages is considerably cheaper than advertising on other parts of the site.
    2. Business Information seekers browse our Directory, Classifieds, Jobs, and FSBO. Due to the nature of this customer the sponsorship of the aforementioned pages is priced at a premium.
Benefit Sponsorship Provides Valuable Support For Our 'Buy Local!' Movement

50-75% of our revenue is currently being poured back into the community to support our 'Buy Local!' campaign.

Profits and tax dollars are leaving the Metro-East due to a lack of public awareness about what is available locally. Help us fight back against the exodus of commerce to Missouri shops and out-of-state internet stores by encouraging all Metro-East residents to 'Buy Local!'.
