Why offer free listings?
Kent Island Online offers free listings to area businesses
because every listing adds content to the site and provides a service to our community. The more content there is, the
more often people will return to the site. Sites that charge for listings, are not complete resources, being that they
only have a small percentage of area businesses listed. We strive to have everyone in the area listed here. It's good
for local businesses and it's good for Kent Island Online. We get to provide a much needed service to our neighbors and
visitors. We reserve the right to de-list any business that links competing websites to Kent Island Online.
Why pay for an ad if the listing is free?
Kent Island Online lists everyone for no charge, making us the most complete online
guide in the area! Paid advertising on Kent Island Online definately has its advantages over a free listing. If you are
in the middle of a group of listings with only a text listing, and your competition has a picture and link that stands
out, readers will likely miss your listing. Think about when you used to look things up in the Yellow Pages. The listing
that got your attention was most likely the one with a paid ad, a picture, bold, etc... The listings don't jump out like the paid ads do.
We will work with you to come up with the most beneficial placement for your ad, and to design the ad that commands
attention.
What does a paid ad look like?
We offer full-page sponsorships, banner advertisements, scrolling page specific
image ads, and 2"X2" static graphic
advertisements that can be placed on any page within Kent Island Online. We offer premium placement in your category and on
multiple pages. All advertisements are created in-house and are linked directly to your site. If you do not have a website, we
will make one for you. We also offer a single page site located on Kent Island Online which is perfect for menus and sale items.
We can design any size ad, and can use your pictures and graphics. A good example of what our paid ads
look like can be found right on our main page. We also offer sponsorships to our yearly charity festival, "Island Bay Day" that
gets a lot of attention. We will work with you to design and implement the perfect advertisement
to increase your revenue.
Why Choose Kent Island
Online?
Kent Island Online gets approximately
50,000 hits per month. Out of that number, approximately 35,000 are "unique" hits. Our online web
stats, provided by 'Stat Counter' prove that we are growing rapidly. The hits come from all over the local area, as well as
around the country. In comparison, local newspaper delivery is about 15,000. Out of that number there is no way to tell
if anyone is reading your ad. How many times have you thrown out the papers that are delivered to your home without even
reading them? You don't read your junk-mail right? The local paper is delivered with the junk mail and in most cases is simply
tossed. We polled area residents and found out that most do not read it, which is why they are now imitating this
website. Wouldn't it feel good to know that your ad is actually being sought out? The visitors to Kent Island Online
are making an effort and taking the time to actually visit the website, meaning they are looking for something, maybe
exactly what your business provides! Feel free to call our advertisers and ask them about Kent Island Online, we're
that confident.
Kent Island Online is like a "virtual" billboard for our area! Local newspapers are charging upwards of
$350 for a one-time ad that is delivered only to 15K people and only in this local area. For a fraction of the
cost of our competitors, you can
have your ad on a site with not only local, but regional and a national reach of users that return to the site multiple times.
That means you have access to locals, as well as tourists coming to the area. We also have a strong reach into Annapolis with
our sister site, AnnapolisSite.com. Most people on Kent Island travel into Annapolis for various things on a regular basis, so
we added a guide to the Annapolis area. If you run a hotel, restaurant, bar, or
pretty much any business, this is the kind of reach you need. Don't be fooled by our imitators who are only looking to cash
in on our proven formula. Kent Island Online is the area's only established website and is a trusted source for all things
Kent Island and a helpful tool for everyone living on or around Kent Island. We have been serving Kent Island and the Mid-Shore
community since 1998!

Kent Island Online Gives Back
Kent Island Online throws the area's premier music festival every year. Our festival is called "Island Bay Day"
and it is a charity event that beneifits various local charities. This is a Fall festival and it features live music from
top bands, as well as something for everyone. You can become a sponsor of Island Bay Day and help us cover costs. It's a great way
to get your name in front of a lot of people. Proceeds go to charities and all
sponsor money goes towards paying for the various costs related to throwing a festival of this size. The more sponsors that
we get, the bigger the party! Kent Island Online also has outings with our "Forum" members at area restaurants and pubs. If
you own a restaurant or pub and would like to host a "KIO Party", let us know and we'll deliver the people!
