MORE AD SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE DEMAND: Pinned Posts in Facebook, Blue Sky as well as Instagram!
Since Bajan Reporter has large servers to accommodate heavy traffic (globally 820,000 per week and 37,500 Bajans on a daily basis) and high security to ward off repeated hacking attempts these create expenses which is defrayed by Advertising – nevertheless, we try to keep the rates at a level which remains competitive with print facilities, but we seek to adapt for Customers’ needs, trouncing the Barbados Advocate and Barbados Today remains an easy task – only Nation Publishing remains our most significant competitor…
- Plus, there are two 468×80 Leaderboards and a 336×280 Block on the Front Page (which can link to Youtube videos) over the Photo Gallery have been added, this means your company has other ways to stretch their brandvertising budget!
