Small business advertising: Promotional Features

Similar to an advertorial feature in a printed magazine, Promotional Features run on the Flying Solo website much like a regular article. They run for two weeks, starting on a Thursday, and include up to 650 words and appropriate logos and/or images.

Each promotion features a 35 word 'teaser' that appears on our home page and in one edition of Soapbox, our weekly email newsletter sent to over 14,000 subscribers. Promotional Features have proved especially effective for speakers, trainers, event organisers and any business specifically targeting solo business owners.

Here you will find a range of past promotional features from a range of advertisers.
