Canada Arts Connect is working hard to bring together Canadian artistic professionals (and those who love Canadian art) and offer them what they’re looking for when it comes to their profession, lifestyle, and community. We’d love for you to be a part of that!

Here are 5 reasons to advertise on Canada Arts Connect:

  1. Your ad will be seen daily by thousands of artistic professionals across the country.
  2. Many of our readers return to CAC every day, some visiting multiple times a day.
  3. CAC is one of the fastest growing artistic communities in the country!
  4. We’re constantly launching new programs, features, and resources that our advertising partners are welcome to be a part of.
  5. On top of all of that, you will be helping to keep Canada Arts Connect up and running, in turn supporting Canadian arts and artists.

Additional Advertiser Bonuses

CAC goes above and beyond to promote our advertising partners. Using our active website readership and social networks, we continue to bring attention to our advertisers to ensure they remain seen by our readers.

1) Multiple Ad Locations

Sidebar ads appear on both of our websites, Canada Arts Connect and Canada Arts Connect Magazine in order to receive exposure to our full readership.

2) Introductory Post on our Main Website

All ad partners receive a “New Ad Partner” introduction on our main website. The introduction will include a full post with a logo/pic, blurb, and links. Advertisers may provide the blurb themselves to introduce their business/services/event to the CAC readership in their own voice.

3) Introduction in our eNewsletter

All ad partners receive a “New Ad Partner” introduction in our eNewsletter. Just like the introductory post on our main website, the eNewsletter introduction will include a full section with a logo/pic, blurb, and links. Advertisers may provide the blurb themselves to introduce their business/services/event to the CAC readership in their own voice.

4) Mentions on our Twitter & Facebook

Accessing two of our most active networks, all CAC advertising partners receive monthly mentions over our Twitter and Facebook accounts. Added exposure to tens of thousands of followers across the country, this is a valuable additional bonus specifically requested by advertisers who recognize our active social networking presence and impressive growth.

5) Inclusion in the Events Calendar

If you’re advertising for an event, it will also be included in our Events Calendar which appears on our Events Calendar page as well as on the sidebar of our main website.

6) Discount / Promotion / Contest Opportunities

CAC welcomes and encourages its advertising partners to work with us to offer discounts and promotions to our readers and members. If you are interested at any point during your advertising partnership with us, CAC is open to advertisers pitching their own ideas or can work with you to come up with a discount/promotion/contest that best suits you and our readership.
