Advertising options
Our preferred advertising relationship is one where we collaborate on a product or service offering, which we experience and then write about for our readers.
As an example of something like this, take a look at the series of posts we did for the partnership we had with Roomorama.com and the Barcelona tourism office. We provided a unique voice and perspective, as well as captivating imagery, to help promote the Spanish city in conjunction with the peer to peer accommodation provider.
We offer a variety of options for advertising, from tailored posts through to banner ads, as detailed below. Please contact us, laurence at findingtheuniverse dot com to discuss options and rates. Payment is accepted via PayPal, with a standard 4% processing fee added to all quotes.
