e-Newsletter Article
- Price on application
Hubbubs also contain articles for parents every month. Articles are sourced from professional bodies, industry experts, non profit organizations, government bodies etc. Articles are linked to in each Hubbub but are also linked to from the newsletter portal page for the month that they are current. There is a link to the newsletter portal page on every page of the site. Articles cover topics relevant to parents at all stages of the parenting journey. It is possible to pay for the inclusion of an article into a Hubbub however the information within the article MUST be generic. Advertorials are not permitted, an opportunity for promotion is provided at the bottom of the article and by the inclusion of an ad. This is the best way to promote to our viewers. View an example.
