Advertise
It's easy and cost effective to advertise on the First Friday Network website. With nearly 600 business listings registered in the free directory listings and around 3,000 actual page views a month, advertising on this website can help you reach the local business network and drive traffic to your own website.
Banner Advert
The main banner adverts, displayed at the top of every page, are randomly picked from a set of up to 10 adverts so there is always the chance of appearing throughout the website. Your advert will link to your own website.
Side Advert
The side adverts, displayed on the left of every page, are randomly picked from a set of up to 10 adverts so there is always the chance of appearing throughout the website. Your advert will link to your own website.
Meeting-Specific Advert
If you wish to target a specific meeting, especially one you regularly attend, you can advertise in the right-hand column on that meeting's page. These are fixed adverts so you will always appear on that meeting page for the time you have paid for advertising.
Category-Specific Banner Advert
There is also the opportunity to advertise on a specific category in the directory. Unlike the other adverts, these are not randomly selected to appear – your advert will be the only one to appear on that page for the time you have paid for advertising.
