| Different Types of Advertising offered: |
1. Free Listings:
Advertising on the Veil & Garter has always been, and will always stay free.
Therefore, as new management of the Veil & Garter website, we've decided to
keep the free advertising option active on a trial-based model.
Free listings are signed up, activated and updated by the Service Providers themselves,
via the website's secure login facility and advert toolset.
Service Providers can simply follow this Registration Link
to start the automatic process.
Free listings will still be displayed throughout the website, and within
the search facilities, based on relevance.
However, paying clients will automatically be given preference over free
listings, and based on relevance, paid for adverts will be displayed 1st,
followed by all the relevant free listings.
Information displayed in free adverts will be restricted both in amount of
information & type of information displayed. Service providers going for the
free option can still use the same tools to update their adverts, and
although all options are available to use, only a few will be displayed to
potential clients. Please see the list below...
Free listing display details:
- Service listing in only 1 category.
- Listings will be displayed in grey, with small text.
- Service description restricted to 100 characters on the listing
search pages.
- No company logo is displayed on listing pages.
- Free listings will be displayed below paying clients' listings
on listing search pages.
- Service description restricted to 250 characters on the
detailed advert page.
- No company logo or product / services pictures or their
descriptions are displayed. However, we still allow you to play with our
online image editor and upload your logo & product pictures in the advert
update page.
- No website address or any other contact details will be displayed.
- Free adverts are restricted to 2 Free email enquiries.
- No direct email enquiries will be sent to your email address, enquiries are only added to your Enquiry Manager application.
- Advert keywords restricted to 60 characters in the advert
update page.
- Statistics on your free advert can be viewed from your advert update
page. (Amount of listing views, listing clicks & service enquiries)

2. Paid advertising listings:
The benefits of paid advertising is vastly superior to free advertising,
by unlocking all restrictions on adverts and listings. Paid customers are
given preference in all aspects, from priority in the search queue, to the
actual display of your advert. Please see the list of details below...
Just like Free Listings, subscription adverts are also registered
and updated by the service providers themselves via the website login & advert toolset system.
A paid subscription is basically a (very) upgraded free listing, see the added & extra benefits below:

website home page.

The Veil & Garter is now offering the option of banner advertising for
all!

exposure to those who want it. All banners are tracked, and their views and
clicks recorded. We can use existing banners, or we can even design them for
you. See the list of details below...
- All banners are tracked, and their views & clicks recorded and
made available.
- You specify the web address for your banner to click through
to.

you can run.

4. Paid Advertising Pricing:
Our mission with the Veil & Garter is to supply engaged couples with
valuable information, and also to supply the wedding industry with the
best value for money. Thus, you'd find that our advertising rates are
quite modest - and we'll be striving to keep it that way in future.

6. Advert General & Technical Information:
The Veil & Garter is a totally dynamic website, which means content is
displayed based on user input e.g. searching for Service Providers. The
advert pages are run in the same way, and search results are based on the
advert content. Due to this dynamic nature, advertising costs on the Veil
& Garter are greatly reduced, as Service Providers update & manage their own
adverts with the online toolset that's provided. Service Provider pages are
built in a web-standardised format, complete with the keywords & description
entered by the Service Provider - thus making the advert a complete
mini-website, which can be marketed on any external search engine such as
Google & Ananzi by simply supplying the search engine with the web address
of your page, as displayed in your web browser when viewing your advert.
Due to unwanted presences on the internet that farm websites for email
addresses used for unsolicited email purposes (spam emailing), we've
supplied an email form instead, thus keeping the Service Provider's email
address safe. The website has also been given a technology overhaul, with
the latest encryption & security technology to stop hackers from obtaining
out Providers' details. ^^ Back
