ChesapeakeLiving.com is a online magazine focusing on events and general interest happenings on and around the Chesapeake Bay. Our target audience are residents of Washington, DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia who like to get out and explore.
We attract this audience by explaining what they’ll find when visiting smaller communities, what events are going on, and stories that’ll grab their interest and entice them to visit the area. We tell them where to find cool, out-of-the-way places and experiences, and we do not charge viewers to see our copyrighted material.
Over 2015, during our first, full summer, ChesapeakeLiving.com quadrupled its viewership without any promotion our part. Viewers found us because they were googling for what we provide.
A large banner ad provides room for details as well as a link to your website.
This growth is expected to continue as we rise in the search engine rankings by providing more information readers want and by website optimization (getting better at what we do).
Advertisers who are located around the ChesapeakeBay will benefit most on ChesapeakeLiving.com. While the profiles and stories draw viewers in, our advertisements will target potential customers to your exact location.
For an example, click on our Communities page to find the local ad for “Re-Find,” a small vintage home decor business. We created the ad using an Annapolis-based photographer; a high-quality, affordable ad for local small businesses. A click on the ad takes viewers to their website.
A small box ad for an upcoming event
Clicking on the small box takes viewers to your website for more information about your event and sign-up information
Right now, our advertising is handled by Google Ads.
We hope to be able to handle more local in-house ads in the future. We’ll post ad rates & information for you here.
Thanks for stopping by to check us out.
