ADVERTISING

In 2017 we had over 197,000 visits on the Cape Verde Tips website.

If you wish to advertise with us we have three options available to suit all budgets. The website has a number of sections, sub-sections and individual article pages. There are over 400 hundred pages (including FAQs) within the Cape Verde Tips website.

We can place advertisements on various templates for pages, sections or sub-sections, but they will be limited. Advertisements can be specific or general and should be related to the Cape Verde islands, Cape Verde information, Cape Verde holidays, Cape Verde travel, Cape Verde activities, Cape Verde hotels, Cape Verde business, Cape Verde importation, Cape Verde property, Cape Verde flights, Boavista island, Sal island or any of the other islands etc. They can be more specific i.e. for resorts, developments, furniture suppliers, restaurants and bars, car rentals, property rental business, hotels, water sports centre's, deep sea fishing, shore fishing etc. In addition to the first two options, you will also be given a space in our Yellow-E-Business directory. The main options for advertising are:

Secure Zone Adverts

Some pages are held within the secure zone. For example, we hold additional information for our wedding services within a secure zone. Generally only those interested in wedding services will be interested in accessing further information in that secure zone, it is not accessible to others unless they request access, therefor any adverts in that section held within the side column or within the page itself, will not be found by search engines. 

Cheapest - Yellow-E-Business Directory Advertisement (Option C)

We have some classified listings within the yellow-e-business (YEB) directory which provide opportunities for small, medium and large business to promote their services. This is the cheapest way of advertising on Cape Verde Tips. This is where you have one image size 157x109, two lines of info about your business, the island you are on and, if required, a link to further information. There are three options within this section.

1. YEB - BASIC LISTING: Two lines of text about your business or service. You may wish to provide us with a link to a Google map showing your exact location. You may currently find a number of examples within the categories where, if you click on the 'Go to: Web Page' nothing happens, this is because they may be example listings, or where there is no paid additional information to take you to another page. As a BASIC listing you will be placed in one category. See example within the category 'Convenience Store' for:  CASA TANCHE. Advert Listing Costs: One off payment of 10e.

2. YEB - STANDARD LISTING: Minimum of 200 words (maximum 400) about your business or service. You can provide us with the information for a single page with one jpeg image size 600x400, you should state where your business or service is situated, brief info about your business and opening times. You will be placed in up to THREE category (classified) lists. You may wish to provide us with a link to a Google map showing your exact location. See example: HIBISCUS TOUR KIOSK. Advert Costs: 12 months 75e.

3. YEB - FREE LISTING : If having a paid advert with us in Option A or B, your listing in YEB is FREE. We will use a link to your advert page on our website. Advert Listing Costs: 12 months - NO CHARGE.

Newsletter Advert

We also send out a monthly newsletter to 700 subscribers. Subscribers are a mixture of nationals that speak English and a number of local business owners on Sal, Boavista and other islands. They may be received by those that live on the islands, regular returners to an island, or owners who rent out their apartment privately or through an agency. The jpeg image used in the business listing within the Yellow Business Directory is the same size (157x109) as the one that would be used in the side column of the newsletter. The image can be without a link to further information, or with a link to 'more info' on our website. This could be for those who, have already listed their business in the yellow-business directory, but who also want to target newsletter subscribers through a general business promotion, a link to a poster about a special occasion, an offer or event. See further info below. Those wishing to include this type of advertising in the newsletter will be charged a fee.

Please note: We will include 'Announcements' and some items within 'What's On' in the newsletter, however, we will consider what should be a paid advert in preference to a free promotion. We rely on income from advertising to continue with the newsletter, as it takes up so much time to set up, plan and input data. We are aware that the newsletter is appreciated by subscribers (so I'm told), but to keep it going takes commitment and time. It would be a shame for it to be discontinued.

At the same time we have other paid adverts to consider or set up, with businesses owners who may prefer to have a page advert within the Cape Verde Tips website (as in Option A or B above).

For those that don't know, 'We' means 'Me, Myself and I', so we/I need to prioritise as well as manage the site and other business commitments we have.

If you have information of interest to newsletter readers or wish to advertise please submit info by using the advertising enquiry form below. 

Subscription to receive the newsletter is free. If you wish to see last months newsletter, we can send this to you when you subscribe. You can unsubscribe to the newsletter at any time. If your not already receiving the Newsletter you can register here:   EXPATS NEWSLETTER REGISTRATION

Collaboration

We have some collaboration arrangements with a few businesses and individuals. All collaborations are assessed and will depend on a number of factors. An example being Tour Operators who will be promoting other businesses, those businesses may receive free advertising or generate more income, reducing interest in advertising on Cape Verde Tips. There are more factors to be considered. Suitable arrangements need to be discussed and agreed in these and other cases.

Affiliate partners

We have a number of affiliate partners which are advertised on this site, as well as Google Ads.
