Advertise With Share A Bargain

Here at Share A Bargain we offer a free source of advertising for your best deals and bargains (see below for more information about using Share A Bargain for free promotion) but if you have a truly great deal that you really want to get the word out to in as big a way as possible we also have paid advertising in the pipeline which will put your message in front of UK Shoppers looking for hot deals.

To advertise to our users you must have a discount deal or limited time sale or offer. That's what our members are looking for and that is the only kind of advertising that we accept. And if you have an exclusive offer, such as a discount coupon, that isn't available anywhere else and represents a genuinely good deal then we can offer you a discount on the cost of your advertising because you will be helping us to give our members exactly what they want.

Email Advertising

Have your message included in our soon to be launched 'monthly featured deals' email. Only 5 places will be made available each month, for just £0.01 per message sent.

Desktop Advertising

You may have noticed that we recently launched a browser toolbar for our members. People who have downloaded this toolbar are looking for instant updates of the best bargain deals, and our toolbar technology allows us to bring them these offers direct to their computers desktop so that the message will be displayed as soon as they turn on their computer and it connects to the internet.

Desktop advertising is a very special thing that you usually cannot buy. We want to be very, very careful not to abuse the privelege of sending these messages to our members. For this reason we are very, very selective about what kind of advertising messages that we approve for this. You must have a quality product and a quality offer to put your advert on our users desktop. Places are limited to a maximum of 1 per week.

If you would like more information about advertising to our members then please send your enquiry to admin @ BookmarkedBy.Us (removing the spaces), remembering to state that you are interesting in advertising on the ShareABargain.co.uk website.

Free Shop Advertising

UK retailers can use Share A Bargain for advertising shops, both offline using the 'local' category and online shops, but there are rules! Remember that this website is used by people looking for bargains, so the best way to it to post a shop advertisment is to highlight your best discount items and bargains, or to let people know about special offers and sales that you are running. People vote for the things they like, and stories with more votes get a mc more prominent position on the site, on their sub-category and main category pages, and even on the homepage for the most popular.

Each submission has the option to include a website link if you choose, and you also have the option of adding your address during the submission process, in which case your listing will include a google map showing people your location.

Anyone can sign up for a free account and submit as many 'bookmarks' as they like, but if you abuse this by submitting identical listings, by submitting listings about large numbers of items that are not considered by admin to be 'bargain' items, or if you in any other way go against the spirit of this site then you risk having you account closed and all of your bookmarks deleted. However, if you stick to these simple rules then Share A Bargain can be a great source of shop advertising which is available free for large and small retailers alike.

Making The Most of Share A Bargain for Your Business

There are a number of ways that you can maximize the benefit to your business of using Share A Bargain. Submitting quality stories with a well thought out description is the best way, but you might also like to think about building links to your stories information pages from other websites. A good way to do this is to use the 'add to' button that will appear under your story to add it to other social bookmarking websites like digg. Another good way to build links is to write short articles about subjects related to what you are selling and then submit them to article directories with a link in the 'author bio' section. For more information take a look at this Article Marketing Guide. These links will get direct visitors to the page, but they will also help us to get your listing into googles search results for people looking for the products that you have to sell. You can also link from profile pages on social networking websites. Another good way to promote your bookmarked stories is to get involved wih he community on Share A Bargain, voting and adding your favourite bookmarkers to your friends list. It's a good idea to take a look at the groups that we have before you start submitting bookmarks, and either join relevant groups or even start your own; this way you will be able to add your submissions to the groups that you have already joined or created right from the start. You my also want to take a look at the 'Request a Bargain' section, as someone might be looking for exactly what you have to offer.
