Advertising Opportunity for Businesses = Discounts & Special Offers for Calendar Users
At the bottom of each of the Calendar’s database entries, our sponsors will be listed along with their logo, a link to their website, and a special offer available to the user that is available exclusively through Gardens Across Iowa!™. Users can activate this offer in two ways:
Coming into the business and saying, “Thank you for helping to sponsor Gardens Across Iowa.” This allows our sponsors to hear firsthand gratitude from Iowans who appreciate that businesses are helping to make this possible, and provides our users with an opportunity to consider that these businesses do in fact care, and are doing something very important to help the community and the environment.
If a business provides sales through their website, a link may be provided that users can click which brings them to a page to make the purchase where the exclusive discount or offer is available.
Not only will can you use the Calendar/App to plan your gardens, you can also use it to shop deals and find discounts locally! This could be 10% of any select types of products, “buy one get one free”, or whatever offer our sponsors choose to make.
This will get more exciting once the App is developed (see Phase II below), however as we’re developing the Calendar, we will work to equitably place different businesses at the top of each entry so that all businesses are as visible as possible throughout the Calendar. If at some point in the future we find a way to make location service based advertising available within the Calendar, as described within Phase II, we will do that.
