Shoestring Austin is interested in partnering with local businesses to connect our budget-minded readers with appropriately targeted ads. While we do NOT accept guest posts that are purely advertorial in nature, we are currently open to promoting your business using the following forms of advertising:

• 125 x 125 pixel square ads, placed above the fold at the top of our sidebar (available via Project Wonderful starting at just $5 a day)
• Text ads (for local businesses only), featured in the “Local Businesses” section of our sidebar ($10/month; available at discounted yearly rates of $100/year)
• Guest posts on Shoestring Austin’s themes (cheap eats, local bargains, free/cheap Austin activities) with an in-post link or 468 x 60 pixel banner ad linking to your business (first come, first served – by reservation only – $25 each)

Actual size for in-post ads - 468 x 60 pixels

Please note that we do not accept advertising for out-of-area sites and services. We reserve the right to reject any ad proposals that conflict with our target audience or are flat-out insulting (i.e. we don’t do posts about online casinos or work-from-home get-rich-quick schemes). Don’t be that guy (or gal).

To reserve your in-post or text ad, please contact us at shoestringaustin@gmail.com with details about your company’s goods and services, as well as your desired campaign message or promotional details.

We look forward to working with you!
