Advertise
Advertising on Blog Preston is a great way to get your business infront of over 5,000 Prestonians every month, with prices starting from just £5 a month.
We’ve joined up with Addiply, an advertising network that makes it easy to upload and display your advert.
If you’d like to advertise your business, service, venue or community event, simply click on one of the ads, where you’ll be taken to this page.
This is our set of advertising opportunities, all of which are charged on a monthly basis. They range from £5 for a small footer advertisement to £50 for a full banner advertisement.
It’s a quick and easy process to set up an Addiply account if you want to advertise with us. Go to our inventory page, simply click the ‘Create an account’ button in the login box, select ‘Advertiser Account’, fill out your details and submit the form.
Addiply will send you an email to confirm the account. Click the link in the email and your account will be activated.
PayPal is the system used for all Addiply transactions, so if you don’t already have an account you can register for one here. Add some funds to the account (as much or as little as you’d like to spend on advertising) and browse the directory to find our page.
Once you’ve made and submitted your advertisement, a notification is sent to us to activate it (providing you’ve deposited sufficient funds in your account). Don’t forget that you can place as many adverts as you like, and aren’t restricted to just one type! Adverts don’t need renewing but will remain on the site as long as you keep sufficient funds in your PayPal account.

Who will I be reaching?
Blog Preston is read by over 5,000 Prestonians every month and our audience research shows we have a strong readership in the ABC1 socio-economic groups, who tend to be professionals working or living in Preston and the surrounding area.
As Preston is a buzzing, new and vibrant city we also have a lot of content appealing to a younger audience – meaning our readers tend to be a nice mix between elders interested in their community and youngsters wanting to know what’s happening in their city. These people have money in their pockets and are making purchasing decisions, so ensure you get your business in their eyeline.
Where does the money go to?
Blog Preston is run on a not-for-profit basis, but we do have to maintain some costs – not to mention all the time it takes to run it. You can find out more about how and why the site started here. We see advertising as part of our service, alongside informing local readers we also want local businesses to flourish and have access to our audience.
I don’t want yet another banner advert…
