Advertising

SourceBottle is Australia’s leading FREE social media site that operates wholly to connect journalists and bloggers with ‘fresh’ sources.  

Boasting Australia’s largest and most respected media outlets as regular users of the service, the site draws significant traffic at least twice a week day, despite having operated for less than a year. And we expect the number of daily page impressions to double within the next six months with the recent removal of the site’s login gateway - thereby enabling even easier access to call outs (since visitors are no longer required to login).

Based on our research, subscribers and visitors to the site are typically:

 - female (82.5%)
 - aged between 25-39 (55%)
 - business owners and decision-makers of Australian SMEs (76%)
 - running organisations with between 1-7 staff (83.6%)
 - generating annual sales of over $100k (42.9%)

Subscribers are scattered throughout Australia, but concentrated in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Advertising Opportunities

Advertisers have the option of placing a text-based advertisement below the mast head in the Drink Up! alerts that 'hits' subscribers' inboxes twice AND is displayed on the site at the top of each ‘Enquiries under [topic]’ page for a day. Our research indicates that over 90% of subscribers OPEN their Drink Up! alert, with 78% opening it within an hour of receiving it. (And your ad is the first thing they see!)

Advertisers are also able to place banner advertisements (300px (w) x 250px (h)) EXCLUSIVELY on ALL call outs under selected topics. The advertisement will also appear on the ‘Enquiries under [topic]’ page, and on a rotational basis on the ‘Select Topics of Interest’ page.

Some feedback from some recent advertisers:

We ran an ad in the SourceBottle alert for our small DIY PR website and got a phenomenal response!

We are targeting small businesses and within half an hour of the alert going out we had made 3 sales, got 8 registrations on the site and this was followed by emails and phone calls with enquiries for the rest of the day. We were so thrilled and can’t recommend SourceBottle highly enough. The service that we got (with a smile!) and the immediate response we got were amazing. We will definitely be advertising more in future. SourceBottle Rocks!

I was very happy with the response from the ads you sent out last week. It was a bit of a shot in the dark for me but I got many more registrations than I thought so thanks very much for that!!

I have also run a competition through SourceBottle and was absolutely ecstatic with the response as it is tailored to such a specific audience.
