Business Promotion through Feature Articles & Reviews.

Astoria Magazine attracts readers from a wide area as well as locally through feature articles. Referral links move from Astoria Magazine to others in our e-network, and from the extended network back again. It's a large referral network we've built up over the years that people trust.

People look for information on the web,
they ‘google’ for ‘how to’, ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘when’ ….they don’t search for ‘ads’.

People look at ads or 'i-spots' linking to your own website, while searching for other information.

Astoria Magazine Features create interest and draw ‘traffic’ which we direct to your website.

Feature articles and reviews in Astoria Magazine promote your business by giving the information customers are looking for. You tell us about your business and what you do, providing information which we then write up for the magazine with photographs etc. Your page becomes a destination because it is informative, answering 'how', 'who', 'what', 'where', 'when', all in a beautiful format that people enjoy looking at.

We link to your website and so you take advantage of traffic already coming to Astoria Magazine, offline marketing efforts and also traffic generated through our e-network.

Promoting through Astoria Magazine is as simple as just saying,

“Guess what! we were featured in Astoria Magazine.”

As simple as 1, 2, 3.

1. e-mail your current network and give them the link to your Feature Review Page,

2. tell customers and friends directly,

3. use the referral link in other print media and cards,

Because your feature stays in place for 6 months at least it allows for comprehensive referral marketing.

Business Promotion through Astoria Magazine e-network.

Astoria Magazine has an e-network of other businesses. Each of these is a cent re of influence with their own contact base of people whom they refer to their Feature pages. People looking at their page also view other pages while visiting Astoria Magazine.

Feature articles also draw other visitors to Astoria Magazine. All together we form a large
e-network of referrals and word of mouth advertising and visitors to your site and offline store or business.

It’s a way to reach a wider circle of customers, and focus this social network in ways that bring you more business. A more cost effective way to advertise, a greater return.

If you think just having a website and letting the search engines do the work for you, in directing people to your site, think again. Not only are there millions of websites for spiders to search, spiders are particular. If your site is not validated according to the W3C, these fussy little spiders just carry on to another site.

In my over 20 year experience in business, I have found that the greatest need for any business is an effective way to continually reach new customers and better serve existing ones. Traditional print advertising is expensive and even if you have a great ad, there is no guarantee people will look at it. I found, that if I could do something newsworthy, or design in a more advertorial manner, it was 100 times more effective than a regular ad.

It is generally difficult to receive press coverage. Astoria Magazine helps you advertise in an advertorial manner, create the answer to what people are searching for.

Welcome to a new world in advertising that works for your business.

Advertorial advertising at reasonable rates.
