e-Newsletter Ad
Example

e-Newsletter Ad

• $300 + GST for 30 days

The Bub Hub sends out an electronic newsletter 'Hubbub' to more than 54,000 people at the start of every month (except January), THE place to highlight a new product or service to parents. Similar to 'Page ads' the 100x150 pixel animated .gif or Flash file (maximum file size 35kb) will link to a web page of your choice. If supplying a Flash file, we will also need a version of the ad as an animated .gif file. (We suggest a .gif file because many email programs do not display flash due to security reasons.) Link here to view Ad Specs. Hubbub ads also appear on all competition pages related to that month (some restrictions do apply). This package is monthly, places are limited and the $300+GST payment is required prior to the distribution of the Hubbub. View an example.

Below are listed the deadlines for material and payment to come through to Bub Hub. As many of the eNewsletters book out in advance, we suggest you lock away your preferred month/s as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

e-Newsletter Article
Example

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.
