The email goes to people who actually get out and walk. Most of them signed up when they downloaded a walk map from freewalks.nz, so they’re planning their next walk, not just browsing. The biggest group lives in Auckland, and the rest are spread right around the country.
What your ad looks like: the picture shows a Supporter spot in the Thursday email. It sits under the week’s walks, with your photo, a short description and a link to your website.
Choose a Supporter spot to put your business in the email, or a Partner walk to have your own walk featured in the email and on the website. Both are paid monthly.
$400 a month (4 emails)
A small ad in all four Thursday emails that month: your photo, two lines about your business and a link to your website. There’s only one Supporter spot in each email, so your business never competes with other ads.
Book and pay$600 a month (4 emails)
For guided walks, private tracks and lodges. For a month, your walk appears in every Thursday email as a fourth walk, alongside my three. It also gets its own full walk page on freewalks.nz, which stays up for as long as you keep advertising.
The page has everything our other walk pages have: quick facts, how to get there, what you’ll see, who it suits, your photos and a link to book. It’s listed on the right regional page and on the walks map, so it keeps bringing you people from Google long after the email has gone.
Book and payChoose an option above and click Book and pay. It’s a monthly payment and you can cancel any time from your subscription page.
After paying, you’ll go straight to a short form. Send me your photo, two lines and your link. For a Partner walk, send your photos and the walk details instead.
Your ad goes in the next Thursday email that still has room.
At the end of each month I’ll email you how many people clicked your link.
I only take businesses that suit people who walk, such as guided tours, private tracks, places to stay, outdoor gear and transport. If a business isn’t a good fit for my readers, I’ll say no.
Every paid spot is labelled as an ad, so readers always know.
