Add a "sponsor spotlight" to your ad booking for an additional $35, and loads of additional exposure!

A sponsor spotlight is an actual post within the body of the blog highlighting a few of my fave finds from your shop- they offer valuable exposure for your shop in editorial placement, are viewable by the 5000+ readers who access Modish through a feed-reader and are archived on the blog, increasing residual traffic. They are clearly labeled as sponsored posts.

*These are LIMITED and will be scheduled according to availability. One per customer per quarter (ie: if you have a spotlight run in Sept, you can't have another one run til Dec or after ;) Available only in addition to banner ad placement.

Banner info:
Ad banners can be animated gifs or static jpgs, no flash.  And no hyperspeed animation, easy does it! :)  All ads must be under 65k.  If you need help creating a banner ad, I can happily make one for you!  See the banner design page for more details.
