Advertise on McHenry Life and put your ads in front of a targeted, local, McHenry County audience.
We’ll continue to roll out new advertising opportunities here, so watch this space if you are interested in advertising and boosting your exposure.
Guide Sponsorship
We produce various guides throughout the year, some of which are updated annually (like the holiday-related guides), while others are updated periodically throughout the year (like the Farmers Market and Food Pantry Guides). These guides are online-based and accessible throughout the year, and are promoted throughout a season across social media. Here are our current guides. Here’s a current sponsor example.
When you sponsor a guide, you will receive the top ad/promotional spot on the guide for the duration of that guides “current run.” In other words, if that guide is updated annually, your ad placement will run until the next year when it is updated (depending on when you secure this placement, it may run, more or less, for a year).
Because this is so specialized, there is a lot of flexibility in your ad placement. It can be an image, text, or a combination of text and image. It can link to a page of your choosing on your own website (or social media page), or we can craft a landing page on McHenry Life for you. Please note that any adjustments or changes after the initial creation may be subject to change fees.
In all cases, your promotional block will be labeled as sponsored or ad to comply with FTC regulations.
All sponsorships must be prepaid.
