Ecology Center Web Advertising
When you advertise your business, organization, conference, or institution on the Ecology Center website, you receive targeted exposure to people who are interested in attending environmental classes and events, and people who are seeking information on environmental topics. Visitors to our website tend to be individuals who buy consciously and actively search out sustainable businesses, products, and events. Many are interested in social justice, food security, energy, and building community. Others are new to the movement and have found us due to an interest in health or other environmental concerns. Your advertising dollars help to support the Ecology Center's many free community services.
Web Ad Locations
When you purchase ad space, your ad will appear on several Ecology Center web pages at once, including EcoCalendar and the Ecology Center blog. EcoCalendar is a comprehensive listing of Bay Area environmental classes and events that is emailed biweekly to 5000+ Bay Area subscribers. Clicking on any listed event brings the reader back to the EcoCalendar webpages. Visitors to the Ecology Center blog and archived articles come from a variety of pathways, including the Ecology Center newsletter and our Facebook page, which has 1100+ followers. Visit the EcoCalendar and blog homepages at: www.ecologycenter.org/calendar www.ecologycenter.org/terrain
