The spirit behind Economoms is to shop and play locally, at great prices that all families can afford. We fully support local "mom and pop" kid-friendly businesses and realize that traditional advertising might not meet your promotional needs (or your budget!). The following are creative ways you can promote your business with Economoms Baltimore.
Creative Payment Options: Economoms offers bartering for goods or services as an alternative to cash payment. For individualized creative payment options, just shoot us an email. Let's chat and see what we can come up with!
Feature Articles: If you're looking for more exposure than an ad, contract with us for a feature article that will include original content that spotlights your business or event. The article featuring your business is blasted directly to the news feeds of our Facebook fans, as well as those who subscribe to our blog. Please note Economoms' goal is to provide great deals for chic yet thrifty parents living in Baltimore, so we do use discretion in selecting who is featured and we do require that the article be tied to a deal.
- Features with Deals Open to the General Public: This type of deal promotes a sale or special offer that you have made available to the general public, and you plan to advertise through your own channels, in addition to on Economoms. $100 for one feature article, minimum 500 words. We will blast the article to our fans a minimum of two times.
- Features with Deals Exclusive to Economoms: This type of deal promotes a sale or special offer that is offered exclusively to Economoms subscribers through a promotion code or coupon. We incentivize you to offer a special deal just for our fans by charging only $50 for this option. We will blast the article (minimum 500 words) to our fans a minimum of two times. In addition, your deal will be included in our Weekly Round-Ups each week for the length of the deal.
