Advertise in the infoHUB Business Directory & Information Portal
Introduction:
The infoHUB Business Directory & Information Portal is a dynamic marketing initiative geared to market products and services in South Africa -- especially in the difficult economic conditions that marketers are experiencing.
Where do we advertise:
In the initial phase we will be using Google AdWords™ as our primary advertising medium. Once we reach an optimal online exposure level, we will begin our local newspaper advertising campaigns. Magazine, national newspapers & radio advertising will follow.
How many referrals can one expect?
The infoHUB Business Directory enjoys top positions in many of the major search engines currently receiving an average of over 4,000 unique visitors per day! We will substantially increase infoHub’s web traffic with our comprehensive advertising campaigns and by adding many more keyword targeted web pages and our soon to be searchable; events, jobs & property pages. Current referral rates of listed businesses range from one to 100's per month -- the referral rate depends apon the popularity of both the location & category.
